Abstract :
An external-pacemaker-testing protocol has been established that has improved the quality of patient safety. Fabrication of an external demand pacemaker test device permits a quick check for compliance with specifications recommended by the manufacturer and Emergency Care Research Institute (ECRI). This test device, including the fabrication and necessary documentation, is explained. The electronic design is modular, and therefore implementation of different design strategies is straightforward.<>
