ZOLL M Series Defibrillator Rev YH - Manual (Page 93)

C-1
APPENDIX C
MEDICAL REPORT CAPABILITY
The unit's medical report capability automatically records
incident information for subsequent review and archiving.
Data is stored on a removable PCMCIA type II data card
(memory card) for uploading to a properly equipped
personal computer.
The medical report capability begins recording when the
unit is turned on and continues until the unit is turned off.
Patient ECG, unit status, date, time and control settings
are recorded. Audio recording using a microphone
located on the front of the unit is optional.
Data recorded during an incident is retained on the
memory card until erased. Shutting the unit off with the
memory card installed or removing the memory card
from the unit will not erase the data.
PCMCIA Data Card
The memory card is a self-contained electronic storage
unit similar to a floppy disk.
• Do not subject the card to extreme temperatures.
• Do not immerse the card in liquids.
• Do not place the card near magnetic objects.
• Do not place heavy objects on the card.
• Protect the connector located on the card from physical
damage.
Contact ZOLL Technical Service Department for the
current list of supported PCMCIA cards.
Up to two hours of incident data (ECG and unit status) or
up to 38 minutes of incident data and simultaneous audio
recording can be stored on one 4-megabyte memory
card. ZOLL recommends that a spare memory card be
kept with the unit at all times and that the memory card
be changed after each incident.
Installing the PCMCIA Data Card
Check that there is no physical damage to the connector
edge and that the connector edge is clean and free of dirt
and debris. Insert the memory card into the slot located
on the bottom of the unit. The label side should be up.
Slide the card into the unit until it is firmly seated in the
card slot.
To remove the card, press the release button and pull the
card out of the unit. If the memory card is removed while
the unit is on, the unit will still operate properly but no
event information will be recorded.
Erasing A Memory Card
If the unit is configured to allow card erasure, memory
cards can be erased. See the M Series Configuration
Guide for further details on the Allow Card Erase
configuration option.
To erase card memory:
1. Turn off the unit. The unit must remain turned off for at
least 10 seconds.
2. Hold down the left-most softkey for 4 seconds while
turning selector switch to MONITOR (ON for AED).
The M Series should now be in the System Utilities
mode.
3. Press the Erase Cards softkey.
4. Press the Next Item softkey to select YES.
5. Press the Enter softkey.
The M Series unit erases the card and displays the Erasing
Card message. A progress bar displays while erasing the
card. When the card is completely erased, the Card Erased
message displays.
If the No Card Inserted message displays, insert a PCMCIA
into the card slot. If the Card Operation Failed message
displays, the card is either write-protected or damaged.
6. Do either:
• Press the Enter softkey to erase another card.
• Press the Next Item softkey and then the Enter softkey to
exit.
When finished erasing memory cards, the M Series can
be returned to normal use by powering the unit off and
then back on.
