Testing the Instrument 4-29

Tutorial for Testing the Instrument

Question 1: According to this chapter, which of these statements correctly identifies the

distinction between Preventive Maintenance and Performance Testing?

a. Performance testing includes safety testing and checks. It refers to all accuracy and

performance tests to be made on the Instrument other than NBP calibration and side-

stream CO

calibration.

b. When authorized Agilent Technologies personnel service the Instrument, they report

the results of Preventive Maintenance testing back to Agilent. The collected data

forms a database to be used in product development. It is not necessary for hospital

personnel to report results.

c. Preventive Maintenance can be defined as service calibration testing required to

make sure the Instrument measurement results are accurate. These specific tests are

required for the NBP parameter and for the sidestream CO

parameter.

d. All of the above answers are correct.

Question 2: In the case of all testing procedures done either by hospital staff or by authorized

Agilent Technologies personnel, what should be done with the results?

a. File them for reference to help identify problems early if test results deteriorate over

time.

b. Discard them.

c. File them but do not consult them in case of problems.

Question 3: Which is the one parameter that requires daily calibration testing?

a. SpO

performance.

b. Temperature performance.

c. Mainstream CO

performance.
