Hardware Tests
The main device functions can be tested with the
“
Functional Checks
” option
in “About Device”
.
The
device self-test
examines several device properties such as internal power supply, codec
function, and memory integrity. If a device property is correctly working, test status is
indicated as “OK”.
If not all device properties are tested successfully, please contact your distributor
or Natus Sales representative. To perform the device self- test, simply touch the device self- test
button. The test will start automatically.
The
Cable Test
checks the ATA Cable and Patient Cable functionality. Please use the ALGO
7i Check Kit to test the Impedance levels with your cable. To do so, plug in your Patient Cable
in the black socket of your ALGO 7i device and attach all three clips to the metal bar of your Check Kit.
Then plug in your ATA Cable in the grey socket and connect to the left and right opening of the Check
Kit.
Tap the “
Cable Check
” button
and follow the on-screen instructions. Please note: Please do not
run this test without connecting cables to the ALGO 7i Check Kit. If your ATA Cable fails the Cable Check,
Screening will be disabled with this particular cable until a successful Cable Check has been passed.
If anything other than those values listed for each test step are displayed, please contact Natus
Technical Service or your Natus authorized service representative.
