7 Testing Summary
The PMG is capable of a variety of self-tests which ensure patient safety and verify proper
operation and set-up of equipment. When the main power of the PMG is turned on, the system
undergoes Power-On-Self-Tests (POST). In addition, during operation of the System, many
Continuous Tests are performed. When manufacturing of the Generator is completed, each unit
undergoes a series of Final Device Tests.
