IV Pump Autosequences If your medTester 5000C includes the Intravenous (IV) Pump Module (9), you have ten autosequences for testing IV pumps with a Fluke Biomedical IV pump analyzer. You can use the IDA 4 Plus, the Infutest 2000 Series D, the IPT-1, or the IPT-MC IV pump analyzer.
Page 140: Basic Test Format
IV Pump Analyzers You can use any of four Fluke Biomedical IV pump analyzers to run IV pump tests. Please refer to the analyzer operator's manual for more information.
Page 141 Biomedical Test System IV Pump Module Infutest 2000 Series D The Infutest can run three types tests: single rate tests, dual rate tests, and PCA (patient controlled analgesia) tests. Even though the Infutest 2000 series D can run up to 4 channels simultaneously, the medTester 5000C is only able to control one channel.
Page 142 medTester 5000C Operators Manual Note In order to take advantage of IV pump autosequences, your medTester 5000C requires the IV Pump Module, RS- 232/Printer module and the Expanded Memory module.

Page 199 Biomedical Test System The Wedge Adapter When you execute a checklist, the medTester 5000C directs any M-type commands through the device connected to the checklist port. If the command requires a measurement response, for example, that input returns to the medTester through the checklist port as part of the test record. In addition, one or more ports can be used for autosequences.

This cable routes the keyboard signal from the Wedge to the medTester.
Page 203: Operating The Wedge
Biomedical Test System The Wedge Adapter Operating the Wedge Operating the medTester 5000C with the Wedge consists of enabling the wedge, configuring your ports, setting baud rates, establishing output, and connecting your equipment. Knowing the equipment you want to connect to the Wedge helps determine how you may want to configure ports.
Page 204 medTester 5000C Operators Manual Configuring the Normal Port The Wedge normal port functions identically to the local input and output modes of the medTester 5000C’s COM2 port. Therefore, configuring a normal port on the Wedge gives you another port for local mode input and output and for remote operation.
Page 205 Biomedical Test System The Wedge Adapter Configuring an Autosequence Port You can execute defibrillator, IV pump, ESU, and SPO2 autosequences through a Wedge port in the same manner that you can execute them through the medTester 5000C’s COM2 port. This allows you, for example, to connect both a defibrillator analyzer such as the Impulse 3000 or the Impulse 4000 and an IV pump tester such as the IDA 4 to defined ports on the Wedge.
Page 206 For example, a 30Z command can only be executed in the Fluke Biomedical 214B Patient Simulator, and the medTester 5000C will direct that command to the checklist port. Not connecting the 214B to this port will result in an error message appearing in the medTester 5000C display.
Page 207: Configuring One Port For Two Purposes
Biomedical Test System The Wedge Adapter After selecting the normal port, press to store your selection. Changing the Checklist Port In order to direct external (M) commands in checklists to a different Wedge port, you include a special checkitem command in the checklist that changes the checklist port for all subsequent external M commands.
Page 208 medTester 5000C Operators Manual Note Autosequences always communicate at a fixed baud rate; therefore, you don't need to set the rate for any port used only for autosequences. To set a Wedge port baud rate: From the medTester 5000C main menu, MENU 1 , press: UTIL...
