Chapter 15
SPO2 Module
In this chapter you learn about using the medTester 5000C to control
SPO2 autosequence tests with Fluke Biomedical SPO2 simulators,
what these tests are, and how to use them.
SPO2 Autosequences
SPO2 is an abbreviation for the percentage of saturated pressure of oxygen
(O2) gas in the blood—the percentage of oxygenated blood—as measured by
a noninvasive pulse oximeter.
To install the SPO2 Module, you must first have installed the required
prerequisite modules: RS-232/Printer, 100 Record Storage and Expanded
Record Storage modules.
With the SPO2 module installed in your medTester 5000C, you have the
capability of using a set of 10 autosequences to test and store test
measurements on today’s pulse oximeters with a Fluke Biomedical SPO2
simulator. The medTester is compatible with the Oxitest PLUS Pulse
Oximeter Tester (Oxitest PLUS or Oxitest PLUS 7), the CardioSat 100 and
the Index 2XL SPO2 Simulator. These SPO2 simulators connect to the
medTester’s COM1 or COM2 port or properly defined Wedge port.
Note:
An Index 2XL produced before 5/21/04 must be modified with
ECO 4163 before it will operate through a wedge port.
Note:
The medTester can only be configured for one type of SPO2
Simulator at a time, either the Oxitest PLUS (including Oxitest
