Verification Prior to Use
Before each use with the X Series, verify the proper operation of the ZOLL internal paddles
using the following procedure. This procedure requires a second person if you are using
internal handles without a Discharge button.
Warning!
When performing internal paddle verification, keep hands away from the electrode
plates while pressing the SHOCK button.
1. Inspect the connector contact sockets for damage or corrosion. If you observe damage or
corrosion in the connector contact sockets, remove the handle set from use.
2.
Connect the Autoclavable Internal Handles to the X Series unit. Use the Lead quick access
key
to verify that the X Series unit correctly identifies the Internal Handle and Electrode
set by displaying
Int. Pdls
.
3.
Before charging the defibrillator, press the Discharge button on the handle set (if present) and
verify that there is an audible click and that the button springs back upon release. Verify that
the defibrillator window displays the message APPLY PADDLES TO PATIENT. This message
verifies that the Discharge button located on the right handle is operating correctly.
4.
Press the Energy Select arrows (located on the front panel of the X Series unit) up or down
to select 30 Joules.
5.
Press the CHARGE button on the defibrillator front panel to charge the unit to the selected
energy level. Wait for the READY tone.
6.
Press the electrode plate surfaces firmly together and away from any person or object.
7.
Discharge the energy in the following manner.
•
For internal handles with a Discharge button:
Press and hold the Discharge button on the apex handle to deliver the test energy to the
electrodes.
•
For internal handles without a Discharge button:
Have a second person press and hold
on the defibrillator front panel to deliver the test
energy to the electrodes.
The X Series device unit discharges and displays the message DEFIB SHORT TEST PASSED.
