24.3.2 User Test
If the auto test fails, the user test must be performed to clear the faults.
When turned on, the equipment automatically checks the time to Routine Test, Energy Delivery Test and
Controls Test performed last time. The equipment can be configured to give a “User Test Due” message to
remind performing the user test. You can enable it by selecting [Test Setup] through the Configuration Main
menu.
• Do not perform the user test when a patient is connected to the equipment.
• Before the user test or after each use, thoroughly clean the external paddles and properly place
them in the paddle tray. The user test passes only when external paddles properly contact the metal
parts of the paddle tray.
• If the impedance value indicated by impedance indicator changes greatly, check that external
paddles and metal parts of the paddle tray are clean.
• Install at least one battery and properly place the external paddles in the paddle tray or connect the
pads cable and 50 Ω test load. Otherwise the user test will fail.
