medTester 5000C Operators Manual

Introduction

This manual is written for the biomedical technician or clinical engineer responsible for testing hospital equipment, or the plant maintenance technician responsible for maintenance records.

The medTester 5000C is an automated biomedical equipment test system and a portable data acquisition unit that can be controlled with a computer. You can expand the capabilities of the base model by adding modules that let you store test records to memory and print them out.

The medTester 5000C is designed to measure electrical current and resistance as they relate to electrical safety. It measures conditions that might cause injury for compliance with the specifications set forth by ANSI, NFPA, and AAMI.

The medTester 5000C base model automates repetitive tasks with safety autosequences for medical equipment, including lead tests on patient monitors, as well as general electrical devices. You can customize autosequences to meet your specific testing needs.

With the addition of optional modules (for example, the RS-232/Printer module, 100 Record Memory module, Expanded Memory module, and the Waveform/Extended Testing module) your medTester 5000C becomes even more powerful. The Waveform/Extended Testing module gives you additional safety autosequences and performance wave and arrhythmia generation capabilities. Individual defibrillation and IV pump modules offer safety and performance testing autosequences for those devices.

With the Data Transfer module, you can transfer stored equipment test record files to a compatible database program, Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) or Equipment Management System (EMS). The medCheck module enables the downloading of test checklists and the uploading of data to your database, CMMS, or EMS.

Finally, in addition to operating your medTester 5000C in the local mode from the keyboard, bar code port, or the optional external keyboard, you can also operate it from a remote location. Remote operation can take place from a remote personal computer or from a compatible terminal device.

With the Wedge adapter, you can expand the number of serial ports to control several external instruments without changing setups. In addition, you can connect a PC-style keyboard to the Wedge adapter for entering data more easily.

Biomedical Test System

General Information

Features

The medTester 5000C is an automated biomedical equipment test system designed for you to do electrical safety and performance testing. With the medTester, you can run customizable automatic sequences of tests, called autosequences. You can print stored test records or upload them to a computer. A computer can operate a medTester 5000C from a remote location. This section defines some basic concepts behind the testing that this manual describes.

Electrical Safety Testing

The medTester 5000C measures electrical current and resistance related to electrical safety. Electrical safety testing is the measurement of electric conditions that could result in injury to operators of that equipment or to patients. All measurements you make with the medTester 5000C comply with specifications set forth by ANSI, NFPA, and AAMI.

Performance Testing

Performance testing verifies that equipment performs to manufacturer specifications. Different types of medical equipment require tests that are unique to its operation—patient monitors, defibrillators, and IV pumps, to name just a few. The medTester 5000C provides ECG waveforms for performance testing of patient monitors. With optional autosequence modules, you can use analyzers to test the performance of defibrillators, IV pumps, electrosurgical units, pulse oximeter analyzers and more.

Manual Measurements

You can always perform safety measurements on any electrical equipment directly from the medTester keyboard. Measurements appear on the display continuously until you escape from the test. Instructions for conducting manual tests are in Chapter 4, Manual Tests.

Automatic Measurements

One of the strengths of the medTester 5000C is the ability to automate testing using autosequences. Autosequences are collections of tests that execute as a group. Ten safety autosequences ship with the medTester 5000C base model, each of which you can customize to meet your needs. With the Waveform/Extended Testing Module, you receive an additional five customizable safety autosequences, five ECG performance waveform and arrhythmia groups, and line monitor and environmental autosequences.

1-5

medTester 5000C Operators Manual

Prompts in the autosequence ask you for information that aids in test reporting. The pretest prompts, for example, can ask you for the model and serial number of the equipment you’re testing, the test location, operator code, and physical condition of the EUT (equipment under test). Posttest prompts can ask you to schedule the next test date, input comments about the tests, or prepare a test tag.

With the Memory Module and RS-232/Printer Module installed on your medTester 5000C, you can store test records to memory and print them from the medTester’s printer port. Additional autosequence modules are available for performance testing defibrillators, IV pumps, and more. See Chapter 5, Autosequences.

Computer Control

You can remotely control your medTester 5000C from a personal computer or compatible terminal device through a serial communication port and appropriate communication software. Once connected and in remote control of the medTester 5000C, you send remote commands to the medTester 5000C to do safety and performance tests, with the results returned to the computer.

Some medTester 5000C users prefer to accumulate the test data for equipment before reporting stored records. Then at their convenience they upload the data to an equipment database program, Computerized Maintenance Management System, or Equipment Management System (EMS) on a computer. This is accomplished through a serial port on the medTester 5000C and the medTester 5000C’s Data Transfer Module. Chapter 12, Remote Operation, discusses the methods you can use to control the medTester 5000C and to manage test data.

If you use other Fluke Biomedical analyzers, such as the Impulse 4000 or IPT1, you can control them with the medTester 5000C. By connecting an analyzer to the medTester 5000C’s COM2 port, you gain a two-way communication link. This link lets the medTester 5000C control the operation of the analyzer. Test data that the analyzer collects is then returned to storage in the medTester 5000C.

medCheck

The medTester 5000C medCheck Module unleashes the power of the medTester 5000C to become the centerpiece of a total equipment management solution. medCheck lets you download checklists from, and upload checklist test data to, your equipment management software system.

1-6

Biomedical Test System

General Information

Checklists are complete sets of preventive maintenance procedures for equipment testing. They can contain prompts to the medTester 5000C user to make physical inspections of the EUT and to take individual safety measurements. A checklist can include one or more safety and performance autosequences that automatically execute. Checklist test record data is then uploaded to the user’s equipment management database program, Computerized Maintenance Management System. See Chapter 11, medCheck Module, for more information.

medTester 5000C Optional Modules

medTester 5000C Instrument Specifications

Line Voltage and Measurements

• Hot to Neutral.

• Neutral to Ground.

• Hot to Ground.

• Range: 200.0 V RMS.

• Accuracy: ±5% of range.

Leakage Current

Leakage current is measured through a 1 kΩ AAMI load RMS or DC measured and displayed in microamperes. These tests can be thought of as measuring the voltage, in millivolts across the same load.

Leakage Current Measurements

• Case external.

• Case internal.

• External.

• ECG—Leads are RL, RA, LA, LL, and V1-V6 tied together:

1. To ground, all leads or individual leads.

2. Lead to lead, individual leads to all other leads together.

3. Lead isolation (RMS only), all leads or individual leads.

This test is with line voltage applied from the lead(s) to ground, current limited by 120 kΩ.

1-12

Note

If you receive abnormally high leakage current measurements with V1-V6 leads tied together, you can inspect individual V leads by removing the other leads. This procedure allows you to isolate the lead with a high leakage current reading.

Biomedical Test System

General Information

AAMI Load

• Simulated patient load recommended by the Association for the

Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), Safe Current Limits Standard (ANSI/AAMI ES1-1993) (revision of the earlier ANSI/AAMI ES1-1985 and SCL-12/78).

• AAMI Load drawing:

LEAKAGE CURRENT INPUT

OUTPUT TO METER CIRCUIT

• Frequency Response: ANSI/AAMI ES1-1993

• Test Load Impedance: 1000 ohms +/- 1% @ DC

(ANSI/AAMI ES1-1993)

• Ranges—2000 µA and 200 µA.

• Range—20.00 A RMS.

• Accuracy—± 1.0% of reading DC and from 48 Hz to 1kHz

± 2.5% of reading 1 kHz to 100 kHz ± 5.0% of reading 100 kHz to 1 MHz

Equipment Current

Equipment current measures the current used by the EUT plugged into the test receptacle:

• Range—20.00 A RMS.

• Accuracy—±5% of range.

Resistance

Resistance tests measure resistance with the four-terminal test method:

• Measurements—Power cord and external.

• Range—2 Ω.

• Accuracy—±1% of range.

• Test Current—100 mA

This feature allows the use of the Fluke Biomedical Model 202A Isolation Test Module to make current measurements on an isolated power system. For more information, see Chapter 4, Manual Tests.

1-13

medTester 5000C Operators Manual

Toolbox

Toolbox allows for the use of external measurement adapters for:

• Tachometer—with a range of 100 to 20,000 RPM.

• Temperature—with a range of 0 to 200°F or

0 to 100°C.

• Humidity—ranging from 15% to 90% relative.

For more information about Toolbox, see Chapter 4, Manual Tests.

Test Receptacle

The medTester 5000C has a test receptacle on the top panel into which the equipment under test (EUT) is plugged. The test receptacle supplies power to the EUT. The EUT must be powered through the test receptacle whenever you measure the following:

• Leakage current—All case and ECG lead measurements.

• Equipment current.

• Power cord resistance.

Test receptacle power is normal except during case and ECG leakage tests (not including isolation tests). For these tests you can set the power to the following conditions, each of which is indicated by annunciator LEDs on the top panel:

• Ground—closed or open.

• Polarity—normal or reversed.

• Neutral—closed or open.

Note

During case internal leakage, ground is always open.

Current is supplied at a maximum instantaneous level of 20 amps.

CSA Label

On the back of the medTester 5000C, you can see a label which specifies the conditions under which the test receptacle can operate:

• 1840 VA, 16 A continuous operation.

• Up to 19 A for no longer than two (2) minutes. Then powered off

for eight (8) minutes (20 percent of duty cycle).

1-14

Biomedical Test System

General Information

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

The test receptacle is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. In the event of a fault in the EUT (when the test receptacle is powered on) which causes a current imbalance in the hot and neutral lines of greater than 5 mA, the interrupter triggers. Under this condition, the interrupter turns off the test receptacle and all test connections, and the medTester prompts you to correct the fault and continue.

Performance Waveforms

The medTester 5000C generates ECG waves and arrhythmias to test the performance of patient monitors in those medTesters that have the Waveform/Extended Testing Module installed. You can find information about conducting waveform tests in Chapter 7, Performance Waves. Specifications for waveforms and arrhythmias are:

ECG Performance Test Waves (Lead I, Vp-p)

• Square Wave—2 Hz, 1 mV

• DC Pulse—4 Seconds, 1 mV

• Sine Wave—0.5, 10, 40, 60, and 100 Hz, 1 mV

Enabling Modules

If it should become necessary to reinstall modules 2 through 14, perform the steps described below. You need to install each module from its separate diskette. Installation requires running a program on an IBM-compatible personal computer.

Note

You MUST install the modules that you have received in numerical order, starting with Module 2, or the lowest numbered module you have. Installing modules in numerical order will lead to a successful installation.

1. Use the medTester 5000C COM1 port.

2. Decide on a computer COM port—(COM1 through COM4).

3. Decide on a baud rate—(300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or

19200).

4. To change the medTester baud rate from MAIN MENU 1:

A. Press F5 UTIL, then F1 BAUD;

B. Select the COM1 port;

C. Press F4 BAUD until the desired baud rate is displayed;

D. Press F5 STORE; Press Esc twice to return to MAIN MENU 1.

Note

If Module 2 (RS-232/Printer) has not yet been installed, the medTester baud rate is not selectable and can not be adjusted. It is permanently set to 9600. After you install Module 2, you can change the baud rate.

5. Connect the computer COM port to the medTester COM1 port

(medTester to PC null modem serial cable).

6. Run the computer in DOS mode (command prompt).

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:

medTester 5000C Operators Manual

5-5

medTester 5000C Operators Manual

Note

All these pre-test prompts can be turned off. However, if using the medTester with an Equipment Management System, at a minimum you will want to leave the Control Number on for the proper work order closure.

Important Special Character Rules

Remember these rules when typing characters:

• The double quote (“) and tilde (~) characters are illegal and are

never accepted from any source including an external keyboard, serial port, or bar code. The medTester 5000C ignores these characters.

• Commas (,) and pound signs (#) are illegal in the CONTROL #

and will be rejected with an error message if entered.

• The pound sign (#) is used by the medTester 5000C to flag a failed

test and therefore, fail the entire test record. You can also deliberately fail a test record by typing a pound sign (#) in one of these fields:

• Physical Inspection

• Comments

• Peformance Comments

Other fields can accept a pound sign (#) without failing the test record.

Turning Prompts Off

You can turn individual prompts on or off and rename prompts six through eight (6-8) from the list above. See the section Customizing Your Autosequence Prompts in Chapter 6. While you may have some or all prompts turned off, the autosequence still gives you the opportunity to enter device information with the message:

Press F5 for all device info prompts

This message appears on the display for two (2) seconds. If you press F5 within the two-second period, prompts two (2) through seven (7) show. This procedure only affects the current execution of the autosequence.

The prompt override feature allows you to conveniently enter device information for a new piece of equipment into your equipment management database system.

When prompts are turned off, the medTester 5000C automatically begins the autosequence.

System Line Voltage

Measurements included are:

• Hot to neutral,

• Neutral to ground, and

• Hot to ground.

Power Cord Resistance

After taking measurements of line voltage, the autosequence moves to the power cord resistance measurement. The medTester offers you the option of skipping the test. You could skip a resistance measurement, for example, with double-insulated equipment having no exposed metal surfaces. If you choose to skip this test, it is recorded as being skipped. To skip the measurement, from the menu select:

SKIP

You can proceed with the resistance test, but first notice the displayed reading and CURRENT SOURCE annunciator. If any of the following appear on the medTester display, it means a condition exists that prohibits an accurate measurement:

• # (pound) sign—Indicates an out-of-limit condition based upon the

resistance limit set for the autosequence you are running. Limits are programmable.

• x.xxx—Indicates that a current source is not connected.

• Flashing reading—Indicates that the displayed reading is out of

range, that is >2 ohms.

• CURRENT SOURCE annunciator not lit—Indicates lack of a good

connection.

Correct the cause of the condition before continuing. For example, reconnect the Kelvin cable to an exposed grounded surface on the EUT. If none of these conditions exist and a measurement appears in the display, press:

READY

ECG Performance Waveforms

If you have the Waveform/Extended Testing module installed on your medTester 5000C, and you have performed a lead test, this message appears:

OUTPUT PERFORMANCE WAVES?

This is a prompt to output an autosequence of performance waves to a patient monitor from the patient leads attached to the medTester 5000C. Waveforms are output in the order described in the table below for various periods of time.

Waveform Name Test Duration

Note

See Chapter 7, Performance Waves, for detailed instructions about performance waveform output.

End-of-Test Prompts

At the end of the autosequence, the medTester prompts you for the following data. After each entry press the ENT key.

1. PERFORMANCE WAVE COMMENTS—This prompt appears only if

performance waveforms are output to the EUT.

2. COMMENTS—General comments about the autosequence or

condition of the EUT. This entry can be a maximum of 40 characters.

3. NEXT TEST DUE DATE—For the EUT, ten (10) characters

maximum.

4. USER TIME— Enter the time used by the user to perform the tests.

The format can be six (6) digits, including a decimal point.

Note

All these post-test prompts can be turned off. However, if using the medTester with an Equipment Management System, at a minimum you will want to leave User Time on for the proper work order closure.

After entering this data, the medTester computes the elapsed autosequence test time in seconds. Next, if the RS-232/Printer module is installed, the autosequence continues with the test tag print function. If this module is not installed, the autosequence ends.

Tag Print Function

With the RS-232/Printer module, the medTester 5000C prompts:

PRINT TEST TAG?

5-11

medTester 5000C Operators Manual

This prompt appears only if you enable the prompt in the CUSTOM menu. See Chapter 6, Customize Your medTester 5000C, for information about turning autosequence prompts on and off. If you choose to print a test tag, the following fields print if you have them turned on:

• Header—The current active header (e.g. Hospital or service

business name)

• Control #

• Date

• Next test due date

• Op (operator) code

Test Tag Printer

After performing an autosequence or checklist (test procedure created in your CMMS) with the “Print Test Tag” prompt enabled, the medTester will prompt you to choose whether or not to print a test label. Attaching a Test Tag label to a piece of equipment makes it easy to identify when that piece of equipment was tested, who conducted the test and if desired, when the equipment is due for its next test.

This section describes the setup and operation for printing Test Tags through the medTester 5000C, using an optional Test Label Printer. Either the Brady TLS PC Link (PN 2245515), the Fluke Biomedical Model TLP-1 or TLP-2 label printers are compatible with the medTester 5000C.

The Test Tag printer function will print up to five lines of information. Each line describes a different parameter called a field and can hold up to 23 characters comprised of the field description, the output data itself and any spaces created by the medTester.

Note

With the TLP-1 & 2, lines longer than the maximum number of allowed characters will wrap to the next line on the label. For example, if line number one is longer than 23 characters, remaining characters will print on the second line. Since every other line will print on the line below and if all five lines are used, this will cause the fifth line to print on the next label of the roll. With the TLS printer, each line longer than 23 characters will simply be truncated

You can customize the printout by choosing any or all of the five fields listed in the table below. For example, you could exclude the fourth line (Due). You can not include other device or test information on the label.

To set up and connect a label printer:

Attach the provided power supply to the printer and plug it

into a three-wire 120V wall outlet or similar receptacle. Optional with the Brady TLS printer with rechargeable batteries.

2. Connect the provided serial cable to the printer.

3. Connect the printer to the desired medTester serial port

(COM1 or COM2 unless the Wedge is installed) using the DB-25 connector on the supplied serial cable.

See the note below.

4. Turn the printer power on.

5. Load a roll of labels inside the printer.

See the supplied instructions with the label printer.

Note

After powering up the Brady printer, the first label contains extra space at the front. To avoid a longer first label, press feed, and then cut off the excess label material. All following labels will be the correct length. The Brady TLS printer uses 50’ x 1” rolls of continuous vinyl label material. The label material is available in different colors. See the Optional parts list in the Accessories section of Chapter 1, General Information. The Brady label printer can be used for a variety of other labeling jobs; other types of label materials are available from the Brady distributor. Use the proper ribbon for the type of label material installed. Replace the ribbon when it has been used up.

Selecting a label printer

Chapter 6

Customize Your medTester

In this chapter you learn how to customize safety autosequences and how to customize the prompt information that appears before, during, and after the tests execute.

You can customize the ten standard preprogrammed autosequences and the five blank safety autosequences. (The five blanks are available for use only with the medTester 5000C, Waveform/Extended Testing Module.) Refer to Chapter 5, Autosequences, and the table of safety autosequences. From the table you see the list of autosequence names and corresponding remote numbers. For example, the autosequence 10LD X is called 10 Lead External Test with a remote number of A1. We begin this chapter by customizing A1.

How to Customize a Preprogrammed Safety Autosequence

To begin learning how to customize safety autosequence A1, 10LD X, view the steps in the sequence as they exist in the default medTester setup:

1. From the main menu, MENU1, press the right arrow to access

MENU2.

2. Enter the menu commands:

2 CASE EXT, NORM POL, OPEN GND, CLSD NEU

13 ALL -GND, NORM POL, CLSD GND, CLSD NEU

14 RL -GND, NORM POL, CLSD GND, CLSD NEU

The steps we are viewing are the leakage current tests. This list is not complete; view the entire autosequence for the remaining ones. There are 62 different leakage current tests in the medTester 5000C. Note that autosequence A1 (10LD X) does not contain all 62 tests. You can see all tests listed in the table Leakage Current Tests found later in this chapter.

In addition to viewing the leakage current tests in this autosequence, you see a statement about line voltage tests and the four test limits programmed into this autosequence. Since autosequence configurations may differ from one autosequence to another, you could view statements for power-off measurements and single-step.
