Section 2-Functional Verification
Introduction
Section 2 Functional Verification Introduction The functional verification procedures ensure proper operation of the Encore monitor and its options. These procedures should be performed following module-level repairs, calibration, or whenever there is a question about the accuracy or safety of the patient functions. The calibration procedures in Section 3 should be used to return the monitor to operation within its performance specifications. If the monitor does not pass the functional verification, or when it is time to do a routine calibration, see Section 3.
WARNING
Whenever the monitor is opened for calibration or repair, a risk (leakage) current safety check as well as a dielectric strength integrity (hi-pot) test must be performed as described in this section. The Encore’s service menu facilitates the functional verification. It has several features for testing and verifying the NIBP (cuff) channel, display, invasive pressure channel, and printer. Refer to Section 1 for information about the Service Menu.
Self Tests Many functions, such as alarms, waveform and scale sizing, and printer control, are software operations. During the monitor’s power-up self-test, the integrity of all programming is checked first. If software testing is successful, hardware tests are initiated. If all testing is successful, the monitor is ready for use. (See Section 4 for information on error messages.)

Section 2-Functional Verification
Safety Tests
Safety Tests The following two safety tests, a risk (leakage) current safety check and a dielectric strength integrity (hi-pot) test, must be performed whenever the Encore has been opened for calibration or repair.
note... A hi-pot test is only required if the monitor has been opened.
Risk (Leakage) Current Test A risk (leakage) current test must be performed to verify that the patient remains electrically isolated from the power circuits of the Encore. Check leakage currents using a Dynatech/Nevada 431F-1D safety analyzer or its equivalent. The source current should not exceed 10µA rms. The sink current, measured between the isolated patient connections (ECG) and the dc power input connector of the monitor, should not exceed 20µA rms. See the analyzer's operator's manual for the proper safety check procedure.
note... Because of the all-insulated construction of the monitor, an Enclosure Leakage Current Test to ground is not necessary.

Section 2-Functional Verification
Dielectric Strength (Hi-Pot) Test Because of the close spacings of the monitor's internal components and the critical positioning of the insulation sheet within the monitor, Protocol Systems, Inc. recommends that a dielectric strength test be performed following any procedure in which the monitor is opened.
WARNING
The Hi-Pot test is extremely hazardous. Only qualified service personnel should perform this test. Conduct the test only on an insulated table top, away from other people and equipment. Use a Rod-L Model M100AVS5 high-voltage potential tester, or equivalent. Refer to the Rod-L instruction manual for operating information and safety recommendations. 1. Set the high voltage potential of the tester as specified in the table below.
Summary of Connection Points and High-Voltage Test Potentials Tester's high-voltage terminal connection All ECG leads on patient cable connected together
Tester's grounded return connection DC input connector; all pins connected together
High-voltage test parameters Output: 4000 V ac rms Current Limit: 2.5mA Ramp-up: 8 seconds Dwell: 1 second
2. Connect the high-voltage output lead of the tester to all ECG leads, using a dedicated patient cable reserved for use only in such tests. 3. Connect the tester's chassis-connected return lead to the monitor's dc input connector, using a suitable plug. 4. Apply the test voltage for one second. The tester must not indicate dielectric breakdown.
WARNING
If any dielectric breakdown occurs, do not use the monitor. All internal sheet insulation barriers must be properly installed. Check the monitor to determine the cause of dielectric breakdown; then repair the monitor or return the monitor to Protocol Systems for repair.

Section 2-Functional Verification
Functional Verification
Functional Verification The functional verification must be done only when the monitor is fully assembled. If the monitor has been stored for longer than one month without the monitor connected to the ac adapter (for recharging), the battery voltage must be checked. The battery must be replaced if it cannot hold a charge. Refer to Section 4 for a battery capacity test.
note... Some configurations of the Encore monitor do not include impedance pneumography (RESP) and other neonatal monitoring parameters. In these versions, RESP does not appear in menus or on the screen displays. You can ignore RESP and other terms relating to neonatal monitoring when indicated in the following instructions. If you plan to use a Dynatech/Nevada model 213A, 215A, or 217A Patient Simulator to simultaneously simulate ECG and invasive blood pressure, see Appendix B for important information. Before starting the verification procedures, charge the battery for at least 8 hours with the monitor turned off. (Charge for 12 hours if a Printer or SpO2 module is attached.)
Power System The following steps check the integrity of the Encore’s power system. 1. Turn the ac power adapter’s power switch off. 2. Plug the ac power adapter into an ac mains receptacle and connect it to the Encore’s right side panel dc power connector. 3. Check that the green LED charging indicator on the monitor’s right side panel is off. 4. Turn on the power adapter’s power switch. 5. Check that the green LED on the power adapter turns on and that the green LED charging indicator on the monitor’s right side panel turns on. 6. Disconnect the power adapter from the monitor. Check that the monitor’s green LED charging indicator on the right side panel turns off.
