Functional Checkout Procedure: Before You Begin
Before You Begin
Like all electronic monitoring devices, internal and external components are subject
to fatigue, wear, and the potential for failure over time and under varying conditions
of use. Additionally, events such as dropping the monitor, spilling liquids on the
monitor, or crimping the lead wires or patient cables can cause damage which may
affect the overall system performance. Therefore, between factory service visits it is
necessary that the proper operation of each monitor be verified by performing the
functional checkout procedure described in this section. This procedure should be
completed prior to initially placing the monitor on a patient, when monitor
performance needs to be verified, on a semi-annual basis, or more frequently as
dictated by your equipment maintenance and management policies.
Equipment Required
The following items are necessary for performing any of the tests in this procedure:
‹
Corometrics Model 325 Simulator and corresponding line cord
‹ 120 Series Monitor interconnect cables
‹
Ultrasound Transducers (x2)
‹ Tocotransducer
‹
Strain Gauge Transducer
General
Visually inspect the monitor, patient cables, and other accessories for cracks,
fissures, or other signs of wear or damage. Do not use any monitor or accessory
which appears to be worn or damaged. If unsure, contact your GE Service
Representative to arrange for evaluation, replacement, or repair of the suspect
item(s).
