Performance
Inspection
Procedure
The Performance Inspection Procedure (PIP), 3202983, is a set of manual and
computer assisted test procedures used by authorized Physio-Control service
representatives as an operational closed-case evaluation of the defibrillator. The
PIP describes the test procedures you will perform to determine if the defibrillator
is operating within the required specifications. Investigate and correct any
malfunctions or out-of-tolerance conditions detected during the PIP.
The PIP comprises safety and performance tests recommended by AHA/ASHE
(American Hospital Association/American Society for Hospital Engineering)
Maintenance Management for Medical Equipment and International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Technical Report 1288-2, Maintenance of
Cardiac Defibrillators-Monitors.
Perform the PIP as part of a regularly scheduled preventive maintenance
routine. Also, perform the PIP after any repair, replacement, or calibration
procedure. Print the PIP Checklist to record the test results. Also refer to the
Operator Checklist for additional items.
