Abstract
Improved testing of medical devices, in particular medical devices providing wireless communication capabilities. A communication link between a medical device under test and the communication tester is established and a signal quality indicator of the established communication link is monitored while interfering the communication link by one or more interfering signals.
Claims21
A test system for testing a medical device, the test system comprising:
- a communication tester configured to establish a wireless communication link with the medical device and determine a signal quality indicator of the wireless communication link;
- a first interference signal generator configured to emit a first wireless interfering signal for interfering with the wireless communication link established between the communication tester and the medical devices;
- and
- a mechanical positioning device configured to change an orientation of the medical device with respect to a direction of the communication link.

A test system for testing a medical device, the test system comprising:
- a communication tester configured to establish a wireless communication link with the medical device and determine a signal quality indicator of the wireless communication link;
- a first interference signal generator configured to emit a first wireless interfering signal for interfering with the wireless communication link established between the communication tester and the medical device;
- a second interference signal generator configured to emit a second wireless interfering signal for interfering with the wireless communication link established between the communication tester and the medical device;
- a third interference signal generator configured to emit a third wireless interfering signal for interfering with the wireless communication link established between the communication tester and the medical device;
- at least one further interference signal generator, wherein each of the at least one further interference signal generator is configured to emit a further wireless interfering signal for interfering with the wireless communication link established between the communication tester and the medical device;
- and
- wherein the second wireless interfering signal, the third wireless interfering signal and each of the further wireless interfering signals have a same interference power.
