Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for automatic self-test of a medical device. The method includes detecting whether the medical device has reached an automatic self-test time set in the last time, when the medical device is in a power-off state. If the result of the detecting is affirmative, the method includes initiating the medical device to perform automatic self-test according to determined automatic self-test items, and determining the automatic self-test time of the next time for the medical device based on the result of the automatic self-test. The automatic self-test time and the automatic self-test items are relatively flexible so as to avoid the unnecessary consumption of electricity and the unnecessary wear-and-tear of the instrument caused by unnecessary automatic self-test.
