25. From the normal mode steady state, rapidly press the UPPER ALARM
LIMIT button twice. Verify that the monitor emits two beeps and that
the DIASTOLIC display indicates an alarm limit of “80” for a few
seconds.
26. From the normal mode steady state, rapidly press the LOWER ALARM
LIMIT button twice. Verify that the monitor emits two beeps and that
the DIASTOLIC display indicates an alarm limit of “30” for a few
seconds.
27. From the normal mode steady state, rapidly press the UPPER ALARM
LIMIT button three times. Verify that the monitor emits three beeps and
that the MEAN/PULSE RATE display indicates an alarm limit of “95”
for a few seconds.
28. From the normal mode steady state, rapidly press the LOWER ALARM
LIMIT button three times. Verify that the monitor emits three beeps and
that the MEAN/PULSE RATE display indicates an alarm limit of “45”
for a few seconds.
29. From the normal mode steady state, rapidly press the UPPER ALARM
LIMIT button four times. Verify that the monitor emits four beeps, the
PULSE RATE indicator lights and that the MEAN/PULSE RATE display
indicates an alarm limit of “230” for a few seconds.
30. From the normal mode steady state, rapidly press the LOWER ALARM
LIMIT button four times. Verify that the monitor emits four beeps, the
PULSE RATE indicator lights, and the MEAN/PULSE RATE display
indicates an alarm limit of “40” for a few seconds.
31. Press the ON/STANDBY button to place the N-3100 in the standby
mode. Verify that the monitor emits three consecutively higher-pitched
beeps.
3.3.2 Verification of Pneumatic System
Tests in paragraphs 3.3.2.1 through 3.3.2.7 verify the functionality of the
N-3100 pneumatic system. These tests were designed to use the Bio-Tek “BP
Pump” noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) simulator. The internal test
volume of the Bio-Tek simulator is 250 cm
3
, which is used to calculate the
inflation/deflation rate periods. The Bio-Tek simulator or an equivalent NIBP
simulator is required to perform these tests.
The N -3100 should be placed in the service mode for each of these tests. For a
detailed explanation of the service mode, refer to Section 4, Configuration
and Service Modes.
Note:
The N -3100 cannot be placed in the service mode while it is stacked
with the N -3000. Disconnect the N-3000 from the N -3100 before
performing the verification tests.
Perform all of the following tests to verify the pneumatic system functionality:
•
Paragraph 3.3.2.1
Pressure Transducer Accuracy
•
Paragraph 3.3.2.2
Pneumatic Leakage - Adult
•
Paragraph 3.3.2.3
Pneumatic Leakage - Neonate
•
Paragraph 3.3.2.4
Cuff Inflation Rate
•
Paragraph 3.3.2.5
Cuff Deflation Rate
•
Paragraph 3.3.2.6
High Pressure - Adult
•
Paragraph 3.3.2.7
High Pressure - Neonate
