Caution
Other manufacturers’ oximeter probes can be tested by the
Simulator, but will require special care in preparation of an
adapter cable and interpretation of the results. Damage could
occur to the Simulator or the oximeter probe if the adapter
cable is not correct. Do not plug other brands of oximeter
probes into an adapter cable unless you know that the pinouts
and impedances are the same.
The Simulator allows you to verify the electrical continuity and integrity of most
oximeter probes using the following steps:
1.
Connect the probe under test to the back of the the Simulator using the appropriate
adapter cable.
