Restarting the Device
Certain events require the M Series products to be restarted after they shut off or become inoperative.
One example is when the battery runs down and the unit shuts off. The selector switch should always be turned to the
OFF position before removing the battery. The selector switch may then be turned to the desired operating mode to
resume operation after insertion of a new battery. This sequence is needed to restart the device, and can also be used
to clear some “X FAULT XX” messages, if immediate use of the device is required.
Note that some settings (for example, alarm settings, lead selection, ECG size) may need to be restored from their
default values when operation is resumed.
• To avoid electrosurgery burns at monitoring sites, ensure
proper connection of the electrosurgery return circuit so
that the return paths cannot be made through monitoring
electrodes or probes.
• Prolonged pacing (in excess of 30 minutes), particularly
in neonates or adults with severely restricted blood flow,
may cause burns. Periodic inspection of the underlying
skin is recommended.
• Check leakage levels prior to use. Leakage current may
be excessive if more than one monitor or other piece of
equipment is connected to the patient.
CAUTIONS
• Do not install the battery into the device when storage may exceed 90 days. Battery damage may occur.
• The “LOW BATTERY” message display-to-shutdown interval may be less than one minute when older
batteries become depleted.
• The M Series ships standard with a PD 4410 battery, but can optionally use the XL battery if properly
configured. Incorrectly configuring the unit for XL battery operation when the PD 4410 is installed will
substantially reduce the number of defibrillation shocks that can be delivered between the onset of the
“LOW BATTERY” warning message and M Series shutdown. (See the M Series Configuration Guide,
P/N 9650-0201-01, for complete details on properly configuring the selected battery type.)
• Do not sterilize the device.
• Do not sterilize the CPRD-to-MFC connector.
• Do not immerse any part of the device in water.
• Do not use alcohol or ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.) on the device.
• Avoid using abrasives (e.g. paper towels) on the display window.
• Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the equipment is connected to an equivalent receptacle
marked “HOSPITAL ONLY” or “HOSPITAL GRADE”. If the grounding integrity of the line cord or AC
receptacle is in doubt, operate on battery only.
• Use only ECG cables (namely, ones with internal current-limiting resistors) specified or supplied by
ZOLL Medical Corporation to protect the M Series from damage during defibrillation, for accurate ECG
information, and for protection against noise and other interference.
