1 Introduction to ACTIMED
ACTIMED is a Test integration- and equipment management software, which can

be brought into action in medicine and industry. ACTIMED has been developed for
technicians, who are responsible for the realization of testing. Hospitals as well as
self-employed inspectors and companies doing tests can use ACTIMED.
ACTIMED serves for preparation, carrying out and administration of test-runs with
test instruments of S.P.L. Elekronik, GERB Elektronik GmbH and other producers.
ACTIMED has been developed by S.P.L. Elektronik and is based on GMEP and
ACTIMED 1.0.
Customer- and instrument administration as well as a programme for self-made
forms are integrated components of ACTIMED.
The stored data is presented in clearly arranged tables.
This data can be sorted and filtered in alphabetical or numbered order
(descending/ascending).
For treatment of tables an input mask in file card size is accessible.
A file card called MEMO is integrated in some dialogs. This memo can be seen as
a notebook, in which the most important information can be imported.
An ODBC-database intersection allows ACTIMED on the client-side access to
professional database servers, for example the database InterBase.
4
2 Installation / System
An IBM-compatible personal computer and MS WINDOWS version up to W95 are

the basis for the software installation. The necessary memory is 50 MB hard disc-
memory and 16 MB main memory.
To install ACTIMED you have to call the set-up routine. By choosing the standard
installation all available device drivers become installed. Choosing the custom
installation you can select which device drivers should be installed before the
installation takes place. ConActX as a required software interface is installed in both
cases.
ConActX
ConActX Test Module
ACTIMED 3
After installing the software a restart of your Windows system is required to finish
the installation successfully.
During installation of ACTIMED under up to W-NT it can be necessary to start
ConActX and ConActX Test Module once from the current user to set user specific
entries in Windows registry.
5
The Database used by ACTIMED is a MS-Access Database. To access the data

ODBC settings were done by the installation routine. You can change the database
by changing the corresponding ODBC settings.
Doing that you can point to equal or different physical databases with the ODBC
entries ACTIMED_3DB and CxTmDB. That gives you the opportunity to put the
database to the network and let multiple ACTIMED installations access one
database.
If you cant access the ODBC entries using the ODBC-Data source-Administrator
because they are invisible, you can configure them editing the registry directly.
On request it is possible to connect ACTIMED to different databases like Oracle or
Interbase.
6
2.1 Entering License Information

To use ACTIMED after the initial trial period of 30 days you have to have a valid
license. The license has to be entered in the license dialog and is effective after a
restart of ACTIMED. Entering a valid license in ACTIMED you automatically get a
valid license for ConActX-Test Module and for ConActX.
2.2 Backup Data

To backup the data entered and measured with ACTIMED you have to save the file
C:\Program Files\ConActX\Data\ACTIMED3DB.mdb regularly. This file contains all
the data displayed in the data tables and ACTIMEDs dialogs.
You can use typical backup tools like the backup tool of Windows to save the
database file.

4.2 Record Filter in Table View
A powerful tool when viewing data in table view is the record filter. You can use it to
display only records of interest. You can rapidly reduce the number of visible
records by defining conditions used to filter records. To select a record you will have
to place the record selector to any field in the record line.
The comparison operator is used to specify the conditions for filtering records. The
filter options are applied to the fields you specify. Depending on whether a condition
is true or not a record will be displayed or not.
The following list shows all valid comparison operators:
= equal
<> not equal
> greater than
>= greater than or equal
< lower than
<= lower than or equal

7 Extras Menu
7.1 Read In Functions
After installing a new previously unknown test device and its corresponding device
driver the new functions are learned from ACTIMED 3 by reading them in.
7.2 Detect Devices
To detect the devices connected with your computer. You have to call the device
detection. Only detected devices can be used to perform Test Instructions.
29
7.3 Options
This dialog is used to enter license information.
Additionally you can specify the behaviour of ACTIMED 3. This setting is important
for communication between several ACTIMED 3 installations and specifies whether
the installation should behave like a client or a server installation. For further
information please refer to the import / export section of this documentation.
You can specify if Device Detection should be performed automatically starting
ACTIMED 3.
7.4 Remove Record Locks
It is possible to use ACTIMED 3 in a local area network. This means that used
records must me locked to protect them against multiple use. If a record is not
closed correctly the record is still locked. This means it cannot be used before it is
unlocked. The Remove Record Locks functionality is a possible way to unlock
accidentally locked records that were not unlocked automatically.
30
7.5 Export
The Export is used for output of all data base information of ACTIMED 3. Selecting
an output specification file with the dee file extension you can specify the export
format.
Export data using the Extras / Export is a full data export. That means that all
devices available are exported in the format described by the dee file. It is not
possible to select sub data sets using selection criterions.
To export only those devices that fulfil a special criterion you can start the export
from the Device List by choosing Data Exchange Export. There the export format is
automatically detected using the Client/Server setting from the Extras / Options
menu.
31
The server creates a file that can only be read from the client. The client creates a
file that can only be read by the server performing data import.
This Client / Server functionality enables testing organizations or workgroups to use
a central server installation and administer and evaluate device data.
Device data for devices to be tested can be exported from such a central
installation. The export file can then be imported into a client installation, e.g. on a
notebook. The clients now are used to test the devices following the Test
Instructions. After testing the Test Protocols can be transferred to the server
installation using import and export functionalities. Changes regarding the device
data should be done using the server installation.
The export and import dont contain functionalities for importing or exporting Test
Instructions. This has to be performed separately using the menu in the Test
Instruction list.
7.6 Import
The import is used to read in data base information into ACTIMED 3 stored in files.
The import format is stored in an import specification file with the dei file
extension.
32
Device data that was exported using the client server functionality can be imported
from the Device List Data Exchange Import menu option.
The import format is selected automatically depending on the Client / Server setting
done in the Extras Option menu.
After importing device data you have to re-open the device table to see the imported
devices.
Optionally it is possible to remove all device data stored in the database before the
import takes place. That is useful if a client should only contain data of devices that
actually have to be tested and therefore have to be imported before. You delete the
devices by checking the Delete all device data before import option.
7.7 Backup Data / Restore Data
This option is useful to easily backup and restore all ACTIMED 3 data.
Test Instructions and dialog settings are not saved using this functionality. Please
do a complete security copy of the ACTIMED program and database to save all
data regularly.
33
8 Test Procedure
The following example describes the test procedure to perform a test correctly.
8.1 General Procedure
To prepare a test please be sure that the device you want to test exists in your
ACTIMED 3 database.
Otherwise you have to add a new device using the:
File Device
menu. There you can see the device table that displays all devices independent
from the customer they belong to. Using the device dialog you can add the device
data.
34
35
Activities
Using the Activities tab in the Add/Edit Device dialog you have to add at least one
activity. This Activity specifies a Test Instruction and an Interval. You can add as
many activities as you like for each device. You could add an activity to test the
electrical safety selecting a corresponding test instruction and an interval of 12
months. Additionally you could add a functionality test that tests the internal
accumulators all 24 months. A visual test that is repeated after 2 months could be
also added.
36
By pressing the:
Test
button you start the Test Instruction.
You can start the automatic test pressing the Start F9 button. Double clicking a
test step opens the circuit analyzer dialog to test the test step separately.
To get assessment information select the Assessment button. To detect devices
you can click the Detect Devices button.
It is not possible to change the order or the assessment in this dialog. To do that
you have to open the Test Instruction in the Test Instruction dialog out of the file
menu.
37
After the test was performed you can change the values in the Report tab of the
Test Protocol.
The Test Protocol Number is generated in ACTIMED 3 and should not be altered.
The Test Date is set to the actual system date.
The Tester Name is set by ACTIMED 3 and should not be altered.
The Test Result has to be set manually.
The General Judgement is a piece of additional information that is not evaluated by
ACTIMED 3.
Pressing the Print button prints a basic report on Windows standard printer.
Pressing the Export button an export different to the standard export of the Test
Protocol is performed. Please note that this export is not repeatable.
Pressing OK F10 the Test Protocol is saved in ACTIMED. You can now view and
print the test protocol as often as you like. The reports can be found at the Test
Protocols tab in the Device dialog and in the Test Protocols List.
38
The following example describes the test procedure to perform a test correctly.
8.2 Example Procedure
These hints shall give an example for an course of a test under application and
processing of a Test Instruction with ACTIMED 3 / ConActX Test Module.
This example does not lay a claim on completeness and correctness
Used inspection devices:
GS-X SAFE, GS-X DEFI, circuit analyser with battery test function
Visual inspection
At first a visual check is accomplished at the test object. This visual check has e.g.
following points:
- are there existing damages on the housing?

- is the equipment in a good general state?
- are there existing damages to the lines?
- are serial number, inventory number, etc. correct?
For all steps specified here only one function is produced, which expects as positive
result "Yes". Then the appropriate work steps are generated from this function.
These work steps then are assigned to the appropriate test instruction plus the
evaluation.
e.g.
function: View 1 - visual inspection
work step: visual inspection of housing
evaluation: yes, absolute tolerance, target value 1, deviation 0
Electrical safety
The examination of electrical safety takes place in accordance to the demanded

points of IEC 60601, IEC 62353, VDE 0701 or VDE 0702. Additionally, depending
on used testing unit, the following further measurements can be accomplished.
- insulation resistance test

- line voltage measurement
- measurement of the current output
- measurement of the power output
39
e.g.
function: SPL20
work step: measurement of protective ground resistance
parameter: cyclically
evaluation: 0 - 0,5 ohms
For all steps specified here the functions SPL01 - SPL44 are deposited, which
expects a measured value in the appropriate unit as result. Then from these
functions corresponding work steps under allocation of the appropriate parameters
(set up time, measuring time) were generated. These work steps then become in
the appropriate test instruction with the allocation of an evaluation a test step.
Function test
The function test takes place according to the manufacturer data.
- defibrillation asynchronously
- defibrillation paddle synchronously
- defibrillation monitor synchronously
For all steps specified here the function xxx DEFI2 is deposited, which expects as
result one or more single measured values in the appropriate unit. Then from these
functions corresponding work steps under allocation of the appropriate parameters
(measuring range, pulse form, pulse amplitude, pulse time) are generated. These
work steps then become in the appropriate test instruction with the allocation of an
evaluation a test step.
e.g.
function: SPL215 DEFI 2
work step: defibrillation asynchronously
parameters: measuring range 2
evaluation: energy; 350 - 370 Joule
maximum voltage: 2900 - 3100 V
pulse time: 2 - 4 ms
User-defined examinations
The user-defined examination can be e.g. the test of an accumulator with an

appropriate battery test equipment.
- battery test
For this step at first a function with appropriate unit is put on. From this function a
work step is generated. This work step is then assigned to the appropriate test
instruction plus the evaluation.
40
Test procedure
The test instruction is selected. Then this test instruction is started in automatic
operation.
At first the visually inspecting steps are done. If the result is positive the next test
step is called automatically.
Then the test steps of electrical safety are processed. These obtain a measured
value as result. If the result is positive the next test step is called automatically.
Following the function test steps are called. These have usually one or more
measured values as result e.g..
- energy in Joule (e.g. 360)

- voltage in Volt (e.g. 3000)
- pulse length in ms (e.g. 3)
- pulse duration in ms (e.g. 10)
41
These results are indicated in a result dialogue. Furthermore this dialogue offers the
possibility (depending on possibly function) to show a taken up measured value row
(e.g. 1024 measured values) in form of a curve. This curve is then shown with the
help of a special diagram. There this curve can be measured or printed out.
The taken up measured value row and / or the curve resulting from it, cannot be
stored at the moment. This applies in principle also to all other functions with curve
displaying. With none use of the curve displaying the results of the measurements
are transferred automatically after an adjustable time to the test instruction. The
single results of measurement are evaluated in the test provision singly.
At the end of the measurement the user-defined test is called and the value
determined with the circuit analyser is registered. The result of the measurement is
evaluated in the test instruction.
Now the test report in the window test report 2 can be classified depending on
examination.
Now the test report with "Print" can be printed out, be exported with "Export" into
any file or be spent with OK to ACTIMED 3.

9 Glossary
Work Step
A Work Step is a Function from the Function Table with additional Assessment
information. Work Steps are stored in the Work Step table in the database.
Work steps are no direct ancestors of test steps
Example
Work step earth connector resistance
measuring time
Device
A device in ACTIMED describes a device to be tested. It has an unique Inventory
Number. Each device belongs to a Device Type. Additional information e.g. the date
of the next STK can be provided. A device is tested using an assigned Test
Instruction. Results then are stored in Test Protocols that are assigned to the
device.
Device Type
Devices are assigned to a Device Type. A Device Type describes all properties that
are relevant for a Test. Those are e.g. Manufacturer, Protective Class, Med. GV
Group, Rated Voltage, etc. The Device Types are stored in the Device Type table in
the database.
Function
The Function Table shows all Functions that can be used for testing in ACTIMED.
Functions are grouped into the following sections: Visual Test functions, Electrical
Safety functions, Functionality Test functions and User Defined functions.
Manufacturer
The Manufacturer Table stores all relevant data of manufacturers. Those are the
manufacturers name, address, contact person, etc. The Device Type points to a
manufacturer.
43
Memo
You can make notes using the memo that is directly assigned to a data record. You
can edit memos. Memos that are assigned to Functionality Test functions or to
Safety Test functions are not editable. Memos are very useful data items because
they are provided for nearly each record type.
Test Instruction
A Test Instruction describes an ordered test procedure to test a device. A Test
Instruction consists of several Work Steps that specify the action to take and the
necessary assessment. Test Instructions in ACTIMED can be executed
automatically or manually.
