Objectives

Testing the Monitor  

In order to meet this chapter’s objectives, you should be able to test the monitor through the 
following types of tests:

•

Performance Assurance Check List

•

Accuracy, Calibration and Performance Procedures

•

Patient Safety Checks

For inspection procedures; preventative maintenance procedures; cleaning procedures; and 
battery maintenance, refer to this chapter and Chapter 2, “Site Preparations”. 

This refers to the combined Performance Assurance Test and Functionality Testing 
Procedures found in this chapter. These tests verify correct monitor functionality in general 
terms.

Preventative Maintenance refers specifically to the service calibration tests required to ensure 
the monitor measurement results are accurate. When authorized Philips personnel service the 
monitor, they report these results back to Philips. The collected data forms a database to be 
used in product development. These specific tests are required for the NBP parameter. It is not 
necessary for hospital personnel to report results.

This concept refers to all the remaining accuracy and performance tests available on the 
monitor, including safety tests and checks for the monitor.
