OVERVIEW
The QA-40 MKII is a defibrillator analyzer
developed for testing all external defibrillators. The
unit may operate as a powerful stand-alone device
or may be incorporated into an automated PCbased and remotely controlled.
The test result can either be written directly to a
printer from the QA-40, or they may be transferred
to ansur QA-40/45 test automation software.
With ansur, you can make your own test protocols,
store protocols and test results to disk, and provide
test data to update your equipment management
database.
In the interest of product improvement, Metron claims the right to alter specifications without notice.
