Semi-Automatic Defibrillator Testing
1. Power-Up Sequence Check
Connect the patient end of the multifunction cable to the
defibrillator test connector.
Starting with the selector switch OFF, turn the selector
switch to the ON position and observe the following:
• A 4-beep tone indicates the power-up self test has been
successfully completed.
• The CHECK PADS message is displayed and announced.
2. Defibrillator Test
• Press the ANALYZE button. Verify the unit charges to 30
Joules (30J Ready message).
• Once unit has charged, verify the SHOCK button
illuminates.
• Press and hold the SHOCK button.
• TEST OK should be briefly displayed on the screen and
printed on the stripchart recorder (if present). These
messages indicate that the unit delivered energy within
specifications.
• If “TEST FAILED” appears, contact appropriate technical
personnel or ZOLL Technical Service Department
immediately.
• Attach the Multi-Function cable to the ZOLL ECG
Simulator. Set the Simulator to VF.
• Verify that within 30 seconds the “CHECK PATIENT”
message is displayed and announced.
• Press the ANALYZE button. Verify the unit charges to
200J (non-Biphasic), or 120J (Biphasic) or other
preconfigured level.
• Once unit has charged, verify the SHOCK button
illuminates and the “PRESS SHOCK” message is
displayed and announced.
• Press and hold the SHOCK button. Verify unit discharges.
3. Recorder Check (if applicable)
• Check for adequate supply of paper.
• Press the RECORDER button. The strip recorder will run
until the RECORDER button is pressed again.
• Inspect the recorder waveform for uniformity and
darkness.
• Inspect for uniformity of annotation characters and
completeness of words.
If a “LOW BATTERY” message appears during testing at
the beginning of a shift, the battery currently in use is close
to depletion and should be replaced and charged. The device
does not test the battery for adequate charge to support
extended use of the unit, capacity can only be determined by
testing the battery in an appropriate ZOLL Battery Charger.
Manual Defibrillator Testing
1. Power-Up Sequence Check
Starting with the selector switch OFF, turn the selector
switch to the MONITOR position and observe the
following:
• A 4-beep tone indicates the power-up self test has been
successfully completed.
• The ECG size should be x1 and the word “MONITOR”
should appear in the center of the display screen.
• “PADDLES” or “PADS” should be displayed in the top
right center of the monitor.
• The message “ECG LEAD OFF” will be displayed and the
ECG display will be a dashed line instead of a solid line if
no ECG cable is connected to the simulator.
2. Delivered Energy and Shock Buttons
Perform this check at the start of each shift using either
the paddle or Multi-Function cable setup (described
below) as applicable to your situation.
Paddle Setup
• Verify adult paddles are installed and are pushed all the
way into their holders on the side of the M Series unit.
• Turn the selector switch to DEFIB.
• Set the defibrillator energy level to 30 joules.
• Press the CHARGE button on the apex handle.
• When charge ready tone sounds, use the defibrillator
energy select buttons on either the sternum paddle or
defibrillator front panel to change the selected energy to 20
joules.
• The defibrillator will disarm itself.
• Use the defibrillator energy select buttons on either the
sternum paddle or defibrillator front panel to change the
selected energy back to 30 joules.
WARNING
• When performing this check using paddles, use your
thumbs to operate the SHOCK buttons in order to avoid
an inadvertent shock. No portion of the hand should be
near the paddle plates.
