Regarding the Patient Monitor Test Plug-In, how can I upload customized autosequences from my computer to ProsSim 8 using Ansur ProSim 8 Mini Plug-in?

Ansur ProSim 8 Mini Plug-In requires administrator privileges to run properly. If you have not logged on to your PC as administrator, press SHIFT key on the keyboard, right click on the Ansur shortcut or ProSim Mini Plug-In shortcut on the desktop or Start Menu and select Run as Administrator. You will now be able to run Ansur ProSim Mini Plug-In without any errors.

Regarding the Defibrillator Test Plug-In, why does my Ansur IMPULSE 4000 Plug-In fail to communicate/setup my IMPULSE 4000 when I try to run a test template to test my defibrillator/pacer?

The IMPULSE 4000 firmware requires the display screen to be at the home-screen in order for communications to be established. On the IMPULSE 4000, press the ESC button (middle right on control panel) until the display shows IMPULSE 4000 MAIN MENU PAGE 1: Then run the test template. If you have other problems it is likely a loose or misconnected RS232 serial communications cable or an incorrect COM port selection on your computer. This generally applies to all Ansur-compatible test devices. Be sure that the display menu is at the home position on the compatible test device.

Regarding the Electrical Safety Plug-In, what is the benefit of Power On Delay and Power Off Delay selections in Electrical Safety Test Containers in Ansur?

All electrical safety Plug-Ins are powering off and then applying the delay. This is to ensure a minimum time with power turned off before turning it on again, in addition to let the DUT stabilize after powering off.

This is also consistent with the way the Power On Delay is implemented. The DUT power is switched on and then the delay is applied, allowing the DUT to stabilize after powering it on.

If you want to perform any actions before powering on or off a DUT, you should use the "Stop Before New Power Configuration" and/or "Stop After New Power Configuration" options.

How can I reduce sources of human error for entering the medical device-under-test information in the Ansur test template when running the test?

If the medical device-under-test has a bar-coded serial number, model number, etc, a Microsoft Windows supported USB barcode scanner can be used. These devices should plug-and-play with Windows. Put the cursor on the data field (e.g., serial number), and scan the bar-coded serial number tag on the medical device-under- test. The data field should populate with the alphanumeric information you have just scanned. Using the barcode scanner as described above reduces sources of human error like typographical errors including transposition, reversals, etc.
