Testing Equipment
The Eclipse performs a computer self-test every time it is powered up. No
calibration is necessary. Complete safety and component checks should be
perform at least annually by a qualiÞed service technician.
Testing the Patient cable
If the patient cable appears damaged in any way, contact your local
representative for replacement.

Visually inspect for the cable for cracks, stress marks and broken or
bent pins.
Connect the patient cable to the ECG and attach each sensor lead to
an electronic heart signal simulator. (If a simulator is not available,
a test subject may be used.)
Check the signal transmission through the cable by ßexing the cable
and electrode lead wires and observing the ECG rhythm for
irregular tracings.
NOTE: If using a test subject, be sure not to disturb the sensor
site since common baseline artifact will occur. This should not
be confused as a broken wire.
Testing the battery
The Eclipse monitors battery status. It is not necessary for you to perform any
tests on the battery. However, if the battery does not retain a charge for more
than 30 minutes of operation, you may need to condition or replace the battery
pack. To condition the battery pack, perform the steps outlined in ÒCalibration
and Charging the BatteryÓ on pg. 2-5. Even though the Eclipse 850 does not
have a battery status gauge, it is still recommended that you perform the
calibration procedure to condition the battery. Battery replacement is described
earlier in this chapter. The battery pack in the Eclipse Plus is not user
replaceable. It must be replaced by an authorized service representative.
WARNING: Never remove the battery pack and attempt to
recharge it using an external battery charger. Fire or explosion
may result.
