Preparing the AED Plus for Use
To ensure that the AED Plus is functioning properly and is ready for use in an emergency situation,
the following set-up and checkout procedures should be performed before placing the device into
service and after each clinical use.
1. Inspect all external surfaces of the unit to ensure that they are clean and free of structural damage
such as cracks, broken or missing parts.
2. Inspect the electrode connector to ensure that there are no broken or missing connector pins.
3. Verify that new CPR-D-padz, stat-padz® II or pedi-padz II to be used with the AED Plus are well
within their expiration date.
4. Follow instructions provided with the new electrodes to pre-connect them to the electrode
connector on the device and pack them within the AED Plus cover.
NOTE If the electrodes are not connected to the AED Plus unit, the device will fail the self test and display
a red “X” in the status indicator window.
5. If the status indicator displays a red X, install new batteries. (See “Installing or Replacing
Batteries” on page 18.)
6. Close the top cover of the AED Plus unit and initiate a self test by pressing the Power Button.
Verify that the unit issues the UNIT OK voice prompt. This prompt indicates that the new batteries
and electrodes are properly installed and that the unit is ready for service.
7. Verify that the AED Plus unit issues the appropriate “Adult Pads” or “Pediatric Pads” voice
prompt.
8. Turn the AED Plus unit off.
9. Wait 2 minutes. Verify that the green check symbol (
)
appears in the status indicator window
and that the unit does not emit a beeping tone.
10. Place the AED Plus unit in service.
11. Check the AED Plus unit periodically to ensure that the green check symbol (
)
appears in the
status indicator window.
NOTE If the status indicator displays a red X following completion of the above test, the AED Plus is not
ready for use and may be defective. Remove the AED Plus from service and consult the
Troubleshooting section on page 23 of this guide to help determine the problem.
