Overview
The following information describes the requirements and tests necessary for safety and performance
verification of the monitor.

Caution:
Observe precautions for handling electrostatic-sensitive devices!

Note:
• Never touch electrostatic-sensitive electronic components without following proper anti-static
procedures, including the use of an ESD wrist band and mat. An electrostatic discharge from your
fingers can permanently damage electronic components and cause latent failures.
• All static-sensitive electronic components are packaged in static-shielding bags. Retain the bag for
repackaging the component should you need to store it or return it to Spacelabs Healthcare for any
reason.
• Cleaning, preventive maintenance, and safety checks should be performed annually and following any
product disassembly/assembly. Preventive maintenance and safety checks must be performed by
trained personnel only.

Required Test Equipment

• Electrical Safety Analyzer — Dynatech Nevada 232C or equivalent
• Patient Simulator — Dynatech Nevada 300B or equivalent

Note:
• Before testing, ensure that the module housing(s) and its DC power supply(s) have their associated
cables attached, but are not interconnected.
• Ensure that the Ethernet cable and AC power sources are removed.
• The AC line is auto detected; no user selection is necessary.
• Ensure that the leakage test equipment is calibrated.

91370 Service Manual 4-1

 Maintenance

Mechanical Inspection
Verify that:
• The monitor and all optional equipment are clean.
• All screws are tight.
• The case and connector pins are not damaged.
• There are no frayed or pinched wires or cables.

Electrical Safety Testing

Safety testing protects the patient from electrical shock, especially micro-shock. It has been determined
experimentally that current values in the microampere (μA) range may cause fatal arrhythmias in electrically
susceptible patients. A patient is deemed electrically susceptible when connected to monitoring equipment.

Definitions
Classification — IEC/EN/UL 60601-1 Safety standard designation for the class of equipment and type of
patient applied parts that indicate the degree of protection provided against electrical shock.
Leakage Current — Current that is not functional. It includes patient leakage, ground leakage, and enclosure
(or chassis) leakage.
Patient Lead Leakage — Current that flows from the applied part of the patient lead to ground.
Chassis Leakage — Current flowing from the enclosure (or from conductive parts accessible to the operator)
through the ground conductor.
Normal Condition — Condition in which all means provided for protection are intact. Includes, ground
connections, insulation, creepage and clearance distances.
Single Fault Condition — Open ground, open neutral, line voltage on a patient connection, or any single state
other than normal condition that could compromise patient safety.
UUT — Unit Under Test.
Spacelabs Healthcare does not endorse standards to the exclusion of others. Therefore: BE SURE TO
CHECK YOUR LOCAL REQUIREMENTS TO ENSURE YOUR EQUIPMENT SAFETY TESTS COMPLY
WITH LOCAL STANDARDS. Generally accepted standards for medical monitoring equipment, such as the
Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, are summarized
in Table 1.

These tests should be performed according to the hospital’s scheduling requirements, at least annually or after
repair or modification.

Warning:
Before starting safety tests, ensure that no patient is connected to the device under test. If safety
tests must be performed on equipment currently monitoring a patient, obtain permission to
disconnect the cables from the monitor and patient.

Note:
All tests must be performed according to the safety analyzer’s operations manual, and any local
requirements.

Ground Resistance
1 Attach the power cord to the monitor under test, then measure the resistance from the AC power cord third
wire ground to a chassis location, such as the equipotential post on the rear of the monitor.
2 Verify that the resistance is less than 500 milliohms (0.5 ohms).

Functional Tests

Monitor Self-Test
A power-ON self-test is performed each time the monitor is turned ON.
• The power ON/OFF switch (refer to Figure 2-1 on page 2-2) illuminates indicating +5 V is present.
• If the monitor is operating on external AC power, the power LED on the front bezel also illuminates.
• If the monitor is operating on AC power and batteries are being charged, the battery A and battery B status
LEDs on the front bezel flash ON and OFF at a constant rate. Once the batteries are fully charged, these
LEDs remain ON. If no battery is present, one or both of the battery status LEDs will remain OFF.

Monitor Functional Tests

This procedure verifies operation of the recorder assembly, network connectivity, alarm relay output, and
external SDLC connections. It assumes that a 91496 multiparameter module (ECG, RESP, two PRESS
channels, and two TEMP channels) is available for testing purposes. In the event that these parameters are
not available, similar modules may be substituted.

Verifying Monitor Functions

Note:
To begin the test, make sure no modules are inserted and no Flexports or other SDLC devices are
connected.
1 Plug in the monitor and verify that the front bezel power LED is lit. If one or two batteries are installed, verify
that the appropriate battery LED(s) are ON solid or flashing.
2 Press the power ON/OFF switch to power ON the monitor and verify the following sequence of events:
a The power ON/OFF switch illuminates.
b The embedded alarm light LEDs illuminate briefly. Verify that all LEDs are functional.
c The Diagnostic menu displays. (If errors are noted during power ON, contact your Spacelabs
Healthcare Field Service Engineer.)
d If batteries are installed, the fan begins operating within 60 seconds after turning ON the monitor. The
fan will then turn OFF unless the internal temperature requires additional cooling by the fan.
e Monitor keys display along the right side of the screen.
3 Insert the ECG module without a patient cable connected. Verify that the ECG parameter key appears on
the screen with ??? and the message LEADS OFF.
4 Connect a patient simulator to the ECG input with a patient cable. Set the simulator to a known rate and
verify that the ECG count and the lead being monitored are displayed to the right of the ECG parameter key.
Also verify that the ECG waveform appears on the screen.
5 Connect a patient simulator to the invasive pressure inputs.
6 Zero the pressures and verify that the numerics and waveforms are accurate.

Optional Recorder Assembly

If the monitor is configured with the optional recorder assembly, verify that the monitor initiates a recording by
touching the RECORD key and then touching one of the flashing parameter keys.

Note:
The printed waveform should be free from defects such as gaps, extra lines, etc. If not, notify a Spacelabs
Healthcare Field Service Engineer for servicing, or replace the recorder (refer to Recorder on page 5-19).

Alarm Relay Output

If the monitor is configured to use the alarm relay output to interface to an external alarm device:
1 Plug the cable into the external alarm connector and initiate a high-priority alarm. Verify that the external
alarm responds appropriately.
2 If an external alarm light capable of displaying multiple colors is attached, turn the high-priority alarm OFF
and generate a medium-priority alarm. Verify that the external alarm responds appropriately.
3 Repeat step 2 for a low-priority alarm.
An alternate method is to connect the cable and turn the monitor ON and then OFF. Each color of the
embedded alarm light will momentarily illuminate. An external alarm light will also briefly illuminate.

Ethernet (Wired)
1 Attach a 10/100BaseT cable from an active network onto the side panel connector.
2 Touch the SPECIAL FUNCTIONS key and verify that other monitors appear in the Remote View menu.
