Abstract
A medical treatment system is configured to output a predefined test pattern and to receive the signal by way of a microphone in order to test the volume and quality of the audio output in order to ensure the output audio signals effective to wake a sleeping patient. The failure of a processor to confirm the volume and fidelity of the audio output as well as the timeliness of the test pattern causes the processor to deny the resumption of a treatment and to generate an error signal.
