TESTING RR ALARMS
To manually test Respiration monitoring alarm functionality on a daily basis, you may use the
following approach:
Note:
Testing of RR Alarms may only be done when the monitor is set Adult or Pediatric
patient modes.
1.
Connect the monitor to an ECG Patient simulator via the 3 leads;
2.
Set the ECG Patient simulator for 1 mV ECG amplitude, HR of 80 bpm, RR of 12 rpm and
an impedance baseline of 500Ω;
3.
Enable the RR alarms;
4.
Lower the RR upper alarm limit setting below its current value;
5.
Verify that "RR < [upper limit]" annunciates as a medium level alarm;
6.
Press the ALARM SILENCE key;
7.
Return the RR upper alarm limit to its previous value; and
8.
Verify that the alarm is no longer active, and that Resp monitoring continues normally.
Repeat this steps 3-7 for the RR lower limit Test
9.
Alternatively, disconnect the RA or LL electrode;
10. Verify that "HR lead off" annunciates as a low level alarm;
11. Press ALARM SILENCE and reconnect the electrode; and
12. Verify that the alarm is no longer active and that ECG monitoring continues normally.
The Resp Monitoring settings and specifications may be found Section 9, SPECIFICATIONS.
