PLUS 7), the CardioSat 100 or Index 2XL. All autosequences
stored by initialization, customization, or remote download will
only work with the instrument for which they were designed.

When you connect the SPO2 simulator to your medTester and run SPO2
autosequences, the medTester controls the simulator, which simulates SPO2
conditions for the pulse oximeter to measure. The medTester provides a
programmable settling time before oxygen saturation readings are
documented. This settling time facilitates the SPO2 monitor using a beat-
averaged measurement of oxygen saturation. You can enter a PASS or FAIL
response or enter the data from the pulse oximeter into the test record. If you
have the medTester 5000C RS-232/Printer module and the memory module,
you can store and print test records.

Having the SPO2 module also offers you the ability to incorporate these
autosequences into checklists if your medTester 5000C has the medCheck
module installed.
