OXITEST PLUS 7 OPERATING MANUAL
2. Overview
2.1
General Description
The
Oxitest Plus 7
Pulse Oximeter Tester is a portable, battery operated device designed to test
the operation of pulse oximeters and their optical sensors. In use, a pulse oximeter sensor is placed
on the
Oxitest Plus 7
probe.
Oxitest Plus 7
transmits an optical signal to the pulse oximeter
sensor which simulates a predetermined oxygen saturation (SpO
2
) level, at a given heart rate and
signal strength (pulse amplitude). Proper operation of the pulse oximeter is confirmed if the
parameters measured by the oximeter match those generated by
Oxitest Plus 7
.
Oxitest Plus 7
provides four simulations of patient motion artifacts: gross body movement,
tapping the oximeter sensor, shivering or trembling, and shake table laboratory test.
Oxitest Plus 7
also provides 9 preset simulations to test oximeters under realistic clinical conditions, and five
automated oximeter alarm tests. High accuracy testing of Nellcor sensors is available through the
use of Nellcor’s sensor specific calibration curves. Auto Preset, Alarm and manual test results may
be output to a printer, or downloaded to a PC or automated tester for easy documentation.
Most problems with pulse oximeters can be traced to complete or partial failure of the oximeter
sensor (the photo sensor, one of the two light transmitting elements [LEDs], the cable, or the
connector).
Oxitest Plus 7
will assist in diagnosing sensor failures by providing an indication of
the status of the oximeter’s LEDs.
For comprehensive testing of sensors when no pulse oximeter is available, Datrend provides a
companion test instrument: Sensitest.
