Preparing the Unit for Clinical Use
The following setup and checkout procedures should be performed before placing the unit into
service and after each clinical use.
Before you begin
You need the following items:
• A fully charged battery
• Defibrillation electrode pads
Procedure
To prepare an AED Pro unit for clinical use:
While the unit is in service, periodically check the Ready indicator to ensure that it displays a
green check and inspect the unit for physical damage.
Step Action
1 Inspect all external surfaces of the unit to ensure that they are clean (with no fluid spills)
and free from structural damage, such as cracks and broken or missing parts.
2 Inspect the patient cable connector to ensure that the pins are not broken, bent, or missing.
3 Inspect all cables. Replace any item that is cut or frayed, or that has bent pins.
4 Install a fully charged battery pack that is appropriate for your application.
5 Ensure that you have an adequate supply of defibrillation and ECG electrodes.
6 Verify that the defibrillation electrodes have not expired and are not close to expiration.
7 Follow the instructions provided with the defibrillation electrodes to preconnect them to the
patient cable connector.
Note: If electrodes are not preconnected, the unit will fail its next self-test in standby state.
8 Press and release the On/Off button to turn on the unit and initiate a power-on self-test.
The message UNIT OK indicates that the battery pack and electrodes are properly
installed and that the unit is ready for service.
The message UNIT FAILED indicates that the unit is not ready for service.
9 Verify that the unit correctly detects the type of electrodes that are attached (with the
message ADULT PADS or PEDIATRIC PADS).
10 Press and hold the On/Off button for 1 second to turn off the unit.
11 Wait 2 minutes. Verify that the Ready indicator displays a green check, and that the unit
does not beep.
12 Place the unit into service.
