As you can see, some checkitems appear in the medTester as prompts to the
operator to do something, for example, a physical inspection of the EUT or a
check of some function. Other checkitems are autosequences. Autosequence
46 is a customized (user defined) autosequence that can execute a variety of
performance tests on this defibrillator. For more information about
defibrillator autosequences, see Chapter 9, Defibrillator Module. To learn more
about customizing autosequences, see Chapter 6, Customize Your
medTester 5000C
.

This checklist could be downloaded to the medTester with a list of control
numbers. Control numbers identify unique pieces of equipment. Each control
number has a checklist assigned to it. When you perform the checklist on a
control number-referenced piece of equipment, the test record that is
generated includes the control number. If you test a defibrillator of this model
type and it has no control number, the medTester can prompt you to assign
one. This lets you bring new equipment into inventory as you test. Of course,
you still have the option of making an equipment record and assigning a
control number prior to testing it with the checklist.

In this example the last checkitem in the checklist prompts the operator to
write out a preventive maintenance tag that is placed on the EUT after the
checklist runs. The medTester 5000C also has an automated tag generation
capability. This requires the connection of an optional test label printer. See
the Test Tag Printer section in Chapter 5.
