Abstract
The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods for conducting tests on a medical device. A request to conduct a test on a medical device module remotely located from a party initiating the request can be received. The module can have an inductive receiver and be part of a medical device system having an inductive backplane and multiple mounting seats. Each mounting seat can have an inductive transmitter, and the module can be inductively powered when affixed to a first mounting seat. The test can relate to an attribute of the first mounting seat's inductive transmitter or the module's inductive receiver. The request can identify the module and test to conducted. A message representative of the request can be transmitted to the system. Test data relating to an attribute of the inductive transmitter or inductive receiver can be received and provided. Related methods, apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
