•
For each test step, the medTester prompts you with the test type and
conditions. Press F5 NEXT to continue.
•
Next, the medTester prompts you to prime the IPT-MC. It must be
primed or it cannot start a test. The IPT-MC displays “START” when it is
primed. Usually it needs to be primed at the beginning of each test. You
should start the IV pump running at the desired flow rate before starting
the test by pressing F5 START. If the test does not start, you can again
prime the IPT-MC and press F5 START.
•
The medTester displays the elapsed time (ET=), the remaining time
(RT=) for a timed test, the remaining volume (RV=) for a volume ended
test, the average flow rate (AVG=), and the cumulative volume (VOL=).
•
After 5 minutes, the medTester checks each average flow rate value with
the programmed limits. If the average flow rate is outside the limits, it is
displayed with a ‘#’.
•
You can wait for the test to end automatically, if it is a timed or volume
ended test, or you can end the test by pressing F5 END.
•
At the end of the test, the medTester again checks the average flow rate
with the programmed limits. If the average flow rate is outside the limits,
it is displayed with a ‘#’ with the opportunity offered to continue or
repeat the flow test.
•
The medTester displays the end of test results. Press F5 NEXT. Then you
can repeat the test or continue on to the pressure test.
IDA 4 Plus
•
On entering the autosequence test steps, the medTester 5000C checks
that the IDA 4 Plus is connected and ready. If the IDA 4 Plus is not
detected, you must correct the fault and press F3 REPEAT to continue
(repeat) the serial communication test. Or for demonstrations, you can
press F4 DUMMY to go through the autosequence without an analyzer
connected (press DOWN ARROW to continue when no other menus are
active). Or you can press F5 EXIT to quit the autosequence.
•
When the medTester 5000C displays the Step Introduction screen, press
F5
(
