Either:
attach electrodes to the M1363A adapter cable, and apply the electrodes to the skin (for example
on the wrists).
or
attach the M1363A adapter cable to a patient simulator.
Note
We do not recommend the use of a specific patient simulator. The use of a patient simulator does
not allow checking the specification of the ECG-functionality; it allows only a check of general
function.
Result: You should see MECG values displayed on the maternal display or annotated on the recorder
trace.
If the test results are not as outlined above, repeat the test with another ECG transducer. If this does
not solve the problem:
•
The MECG adapter cable may be defective. Replace the adapter cable, and repeat the test.
• Check all connections.
