EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance Testing APC Medical E4170 Bedside Pacemaker

Hi fellow Biomeds

Can anyone help with regards to methods for checking APC Medical related external pacemakers?

I have been looking into testing everything that they ask you to do, using a more dedicated Pacemaker Analyzer. I have here the Fluke SigmaPace 1000 Analyser.

I have managed to do most tests, but find it difficult to get the Manufacturer's spec for SRP (Sensed Refractory Period) of 150ms. I get a value of around 237ms using the Fluke analyser.

I found it quite difficult to translate what APC want you to do, using the pacemaker analyser. Any others have this issue?

Any external pacemaker geeks out there with in hints or resources to get my teeth into the operation and testing of these?

All help and advice is appreciated.
