2048723-002C CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor 4-11
Maintenance: Parameter level functional testing
Parameter level functional testing
Use the accessories supplied with the monitor to perform functional testing of
each of the parameters after the initial configuration is complete.
Refer to the operator’s manual for more detailed parameter-specific
instructions.
NIBP
1. Perform an NIBP determination on yourself.
a. Connect the supplied air hose and cuff together.
b. Connect the end of the air hose to the NIBP connector on the front of
the monitor.
c. Attach the adult cuff to the upper part of your arm.
NOTE
If you are uncertain as to the proper technique, consult the
operator’s manual.
d. Press Inflate/Stop button on monitor to begin a determination.
2. Verify that a blood pressure determination completes and the results are
displayed on the monitor.
NOTE
While an NIBP simulator device may be useful to verify that the monitor
responds to oscillometric pulsations, it should not be used as a basis for
assessing the accuracy of measurement. For more information, see
“Appropriate use of NIBP simulators” on page B-2.
Temperature
Alaris
NOTES

Predictive temperature measurements cannot be performed when a
resistor is used in place of the probe.

The accuracy of predictive temperature measurements made in a water
bath will not be representative of performance with actual patients.
1. Connect the supplied Alaris temperature probe to the corresponding
connection.
2. Take an oral or axillary temperature reading on yourself (i.e., not on a
resistor simulator).
3. Verify that a predictive temperature begins once the probe is removed from
its holster.
4. Place the probe in the holster after completion of the Temp cycle.
