Verifying the High Input Pressure Alarm Functionality
This module demonstrates the procedure for testing the high input pressure alarm on a medical device. The process begins by gradually increasing the device’s input pressure to 80 psi. Once this threshold is reached, the device is expected to trigger a visual alarm indicator on the display and an audible alarm sound, signaling that the input pressure has exceeded the safe operating range.
This test is critical for ensuring that the device’s safety monitoring systems function correctly, helping prevent potential overpressure conditions that could damage internal components or compromise patient safety.
Key Learning Points:
-
How to simulate a high input pressure condition.
-
How to recognize and confirm proper alarm activation.
-
Importance of regular alarm system checks as part of preventive maintenance.
