ECG Performance Tests
As well as physiological waveforms, the Product can supply signals to measure the
performance of an ECG monitor. A set of performance waveforms are used to measure
the frequency response (high and low), sensitivity, gain drift, internal calibration, stylus
damping, paper speed, linearity, and sweep speed of an ECG monitor. Three more
Product functions are used to measure R wave detection, QRS detection, and tall T wave
rejection of an ECG monitor.
How to Set a Performance Wave
The waveforms in the performance wave group are sine, square, triangle, and pulse.
Note
When a performance wave is set on the Product, outputs for respiration,
blood pressure, and temperature are disabled.
The four waveforms used for ECG performance tests are, sine, square, pulse, and
triangle. The rate and amplitude of these waveforms are adjustable to preconfigured
values. To output a performance wave:
1. Push  to show the ECG screen in the display.
2. Push  or  to highlight the Wave Group value.
3. Push .
4. Push  or  to highlight the Performance value in the wave group list.
5. Push  to show the ECG: Performance screen in Figure 10 in the display.

To change the waveform:
1. Push  or  to highlight the Waveform value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to highlight Square, Sine, Triangle, or Pulse in the list.
4. Push  to set the performance waveform and go back to the ECG:
Performance screen.
All waveforms have the same two variables: Rate and Amplitude.
To change the rate:
1. Push  or  to highlight the Rate value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to highlight a value in the rate list. Table 12 lists the rates for each type
of wave.
