Autosequences
This chapter explains how to use the medTester 5000C’s electrical safety
autosequences, two standard monitoring sequences for temperature and
humidity, and two optional monitoring autosequences for line voltage and
ground potential.
What Is an Autosequence
An autosequence is a preprogrammed test sequence. The medTester 5000C
base model includes ten standard electrical safety autosequences and two
monitoring autosequences for temperature and humidity. If your
medTester 5000C has the Waveform/Extended Testing Module installed, you
can also output performance waves for patient monitor testing purposes
during safety autosequences. If you do not have the Waveform/Extended
Testing Module, you can still perform safety tests on patient monitor leads.
Note
The Waveform/Extended Testing Module includes the
simulated ECG waveforms and arrhythmias for testing heart
monitors, five additional safety autosequences, environmental
testing (for measuring ground potential and resistance among
ground points), and line monitor (for periodic measurements of
line voltage). For more information about simulated ECG
waveforms and arrhythmias, see Chapter 7, Performance Waves.
You will find instructions for customizing the ten standard
electrical safety autosequences and the five blank safety
autosequences (available in the Waveform/Extended Testing
Module) in Chapter 6, Customize Your medTester 5000C.
Optional autosequences are available now for testing the following types of
medical equipment with Fluke Biomedical analyzers connected to the COM2
serial port on the medTester 5000C:
