Maintenance Tests
Overview
The M Series has two checkout procedures: the operator’s shift checklist and the extensive six-month maintenance
tests checkout procedures.
Because the M Series units must be maintained ready for immediate use, it is important for users to conduct the
Operator’s Shift Checklist procedure at the beginning of every shift. This procedure can be completed in a few minutes
and requires no additional test equipment. (See the ZOLL M Series Operator’s Guide for the Operator’s Shift
Checklist.)
A qualified biomedical technician must perform a more thorough maintenance test checkout every six months to
ensure that the functions of the M Series unit work properly. This chapter describes the step by step procedures for
performing the six month maintenance test checkout. Use the checklist at the back of this document (ZOLL M Series
Maintenance Tests Checklist) to record your results of the maintenance tests.

1. Physical Inspection of the Unit
