Automatic Self Test

By default, the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit performs an automatic self test once every 7 days (this

interval can be configured to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days) when the unit is stored with batteries installed.

This self test verifies the following Fully Automatic AED Plus functions:

1. Battery Capacity: Verifies that the battery usage indicator shows adequate battery capacity

remaining.

2. Defibrillation Electrodes Connection: Verifies that the defibrillation electrodes are properly pre-

connected to the device.

3. ECG Circuitry: Verifies that the ECG signal acquisition and processing electronics are functional.

4. Defibrillator Charge and Discharge Circuitry: Verifies that the device’s defibrillator electronics are

functional and can charge and discharge at 2 joules.

5. Microprocessor Hardware/Software: Verifies proper function of the Fully Automatic AED Plus

microprocessor electronics and the integrity of its software.

6. CPR Circuitry and Sensor: Verifies that CPR monitoring and compression depth detection are

functional.

Automatic Monthly Test

By default, the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit performs an automatic self test once per month when

the unit is stored with batteries installed. This self test verifies the following Fully Automatic AED Plus

functions:

1. Battery Capacity: Verifies that the battery usage indicator shows adequate battery capacity

remaining.

2. Defibrillation Electrodes Connection: Verifies that the defibrillation electrodes are properly pre-

connected to the device.

3. ECG Circuitry: Verifies that the ECG signal acquisition and processing electronics are functional.

4. Defibrillator Charge and Discharge Circuitry: Verifies that the device’s defibrillator electronics are

functional and can charge and discharge at 200 joules.

5. Microprocessor Hardware/Software: Verifies proper function of the Fully Automatic AED Plus

microprocessor electronics and the integrity of its software.

6. CPR Circuitry and Sensor: Verifies that CPR monitoring and compression depth detection are

functional.

Installing or Replacing Batteries

To power the Fully Automatic AED Plus, use 10 consumer type 123A Photo Flash lithium manganese

dioxide batteries. You can purchase these batteries at many department, camera or electronics stores.

These batteries:

• Should be used well before their labeled expiration date.

• Should be checked periodically for the expiration date.

CAUTION! Use Duracell, Sanyo or Varta batteries only. Do not use Panasonic or Rayovac

batteries. Use of Panasonic or Rayovac batteries may result in significantly longer

defibrillator charging times than those required during emergency situations.
