Optional Maintenance for Technical Professionals
The AED Pro is calibrated at the factory and requires no testing other than the self-tests it
performs. Qualified professionals who want to perform additional tests can use the following
procedure.
Required equipment
• AED Pro simulator (or equivalent)
Before you begin
Be sure the unit and the simulator/tester are turned off.
Procedure
To test the unit:
Step Action
1 Connect the AED Pro simulator to the unit’s patient cable connector.
2 Power on the simulator and the AED Pro unit.
3 Verify that all of the following occur:
• The Ready indicator initially displays a red “X”, which changes to a green check within
10 seconds after the unit is turned on.
• The unit issues the voice and text message UNIT OK within 10 seconds (if configured).
• The screen displays the shock count and the elapsed time.
4 Set the simulator to send a VF rhythm to the AED Pro unit.
5 After the sequence of patient assessment prompts, verify that the unit does the following:
• Issues the voice and text prompt DON’T TOUCH PATIENT, ANALYZING.
• Analyzes the ECG rhythm.
• Issues the voice and text message SHOCK ADVISED.
• Charges the defibrillator.
• Issues the voice and text prompts DON’T TOUCH PATIENT and PRESS FLASHING
SHOCK BUTTON.
6 Verify that the AED Pro unit sounds the charge-ready tone and that the Shock button
flashes repeatedly.
7 Press the Shock button. Verify that the simulator indicates that a shock was delivered and
that the unit updates the displayed shock count.
Note: The simulator can verify the unit’s ability to deliver energy but cannot verify that the
correct energy was delivered. To verify the level of delivered energy, use a
defibrillator analyzer and universal adapter cable in place of the simulator.
8 Immediately after shock delivery, change the simulator to send a normal sinus rhythm
(NSR) to the AED Pro unit.
9 Verify that the AED Pro unit performs a new rhythm analysis, resulting in the message NO
SHOCK ADVISED, followed by the voice and text prompt:
START CPR
