This chapter describes the steps required to make your Defibtech DDU-100 AED operational. The DDU-100 AED is designed to be stored in a “ready” state. This chapter tells you how to make the device ready, so that if and when you need it, few steps are required to begin using the device.
3.2 Installing the Data Card The Defibtech Data Card (“DDC”) is used to store event and audio information collected by the AED. All DDU-100 AEDs will operate without DDCs and will still store critical event information internally. Different DDC versions store different amounts of information. DDCs are available in versions that store and don’t store audio information.
If the indicator does not flash, either the battery pack is defective or the 9V battery is discharged. Once the battery pack is installed into the unit, the DDU-100 AED’s Active Status Indicator should flash green every five seconds.
Insert the connector end of the defibrillation pad cable into the pads connector port on the top-left corner of the DDU-100 AED as shown. Insert pads connector firmly until it is fully seated in the unit. The connected pad package can then be stored in the pad storage slot in the back of the DDU-100 AED.
The Active Status Indicator should periodically blink with a green light. If it blinks with a red light or does not blink at all, the DDU-100 AED needs servicing – refer to the “Checking Active Status Indicator” section for more information.
(LED) indicators. Concise and easily understandable voice messages and prompts guide the operator through the use of the unit. The following sections describe in detail how to use the DDU-100 AED. The basic steps for use are: • Turn the DDU-100 AED ON by pressing the ON/OFF button.
In this case, the 9V battery should be immediately replaced to restore active status indication. If only the 9V battery is depleted, the DDU-100 AED will still be fully functional when turned on and can be used in the on-state normally. • Off: Battery pack not installed, AED is defective, or the 9V battery is discharged.
If any of these conditions is found, use a new set of pads. 4.4.4 Connecting Defibrillation Pads to the DDU-100 AED The DDU-100 AED is designed to be stored with the defibrillation pad connector attached to the unit, while the pads themselves remain sealed in their package.
If not needed for immediate use, the pad package can then be stored in the pad storage slot in the back of the DDU-100 AED. After connecting the pads connector to the unit, push the pad package, with the pictures on the package facing up and out, rounded end first, into the pad holder compartment on the back of the AED.
4.4.6 Follow DDU-100 AED Prompts At this point, the DDU-100 AED will check to make sure that the pads are well connected to the patient and that an adequate ECG signal is being received. Do not touch the patient, eliminate any patient movement, and cease CPR at this time.
Motion/Interference related voice prompts: “Stop motion” – This indicates that the DDU-100 AED has detected motion in the patient. Stop all patient motion, including CPR, in response to this message. If the patient is being transported, stop the vehicle to stop the motion. The “do not touch patient” LED will flash red during this message.
“Analyzing interrupted” – This indicates that the DDU-100 AED has determined that accurate ECG analysis is not possible and has ceased analyzing. The operator is prompted to resolve the problem – see “Follow DDU-100 AED Prompts” section. Once the problem is resolved, the unit will enter analysis mode again. The “analyzing” LED will not be illuminated during this message. “No shock advised” – This indicates that the DDU-100 AED has determined that a shock is not required. The unit will not charge and the SHOCK button will not be enabled. The user will be prompted to begin CPR, if needed, for a period of two minutes.
Page 32
If the unit detects a rhythm change to a non-shockable one, charging will abort and the user will be prompted to begin CPR, if needed, for a period of two minutes. “Stand clear” – This indicates that the DDU-100 AED is charging and that the operator and others should stand clear of the patient. Analysis will continue during this phase and the “analyzing” LED will continue to flash green. A tone will sound to indicate charging progress.
4.7 No Shock Required If the DDU-100 AED ECG analysis algorithm has determined that a shock is not required, it will not charge the unit and the SHOCK button will not be enabled. The operator will be prompted to begin CPR, if needed, for a period of two minutes. The unit will not be monitoring the patient’s ECG...
“Stop now”, “Do not touch the patient” – This indicates that the two-minute CPR period has ended and the user should stop CPR. The unit will enter Analyzing mode and the “analyzing” LED will flash. 4.8 Post-Shock CPR If the DDU-100 AED has delivered a shock, the unit will require a mandatory two-minute CPR period. No patient ECG rhythm monitoring will be done during this period. Once the two-minute period is complete, the AED will continue in Analyzing mode. Post-Shock CPR Voice Prompts: “It is safe to touch the patient” – This indicates that it is safe for the user to touch the patient.
4.9 Post Use Procedures After the DDU-100 AED has been used on a patient, the unit should be cleaned following procedures in the “Cleaning” section and prepared for the next use. The following steps should be performed: • Remove battery pack. • Remove DDC if installed. Replace with a new DDC.
The Self-Tests that are performed by the device are described along with the frequency and nature of periodic maintenance for which the owner/operator is responsible. A troubleshooting guide is provided to help diagnose user serviceable problems. The DDU-100 AED contains no user serviceable parts except for the ASI 9V battery. 5.1 Self-Tests Power-On Self-Tests are performed every time the unit is turned on to test the basic operation of the unit.
If the ASI is flashing red, turn the DDU-100 AED on. If the unit does not turn on or does not speak, the AED is non-operational and requires servicing. If the unit does turn on, the voice prompts will indicate the nature of the problem.
Maintenance Related Voice Prompts: “Power-on self-test failed, service code ‘xxx’ ” – This indicates that the DDU-100 AED has failed the power-on self-test and is non-operational and needs servicing. The code number will indicate to the service personnel the type of problem that the unit is experiencing.
The pads must be replaced after each use or if the package has been damaged. The DDU-100 AED defibrillation/monitoring pads are supplied in a sealed pouch with the connector and part of the cable exposed. The DDU-100 AED is designed to be stored with the electrode cable already installed. This allows the pads to be stored in a pre-connected state for rapid deployment during an emergency.
5.2.6 Checking the DDC If One Was Installed Each time the DDU-100 AED is used, an event file is created on the DDC (if installed). If the unit was used to treat a patient, the DDC in the unit should be removed and provided to the patient’s care...
Note: A DDC is not required for the DDU-100 AED to operate. Even if a DDC card is not installed, basic essential information will still be recorded internally. The AED will still operate properly even after a “replace memory card” message.
The following are important guidelines to be adhered to when cleaning the device: • The battery pack should be installed when cleaning the DDU-100. • Do not immerse the DDU-100 in fluids or allow fluids to enter the unit. Use a soft cloth to wipe the case clean. • Do not use abrasive materials or strong solvents such as acetone or acetone based cleaning agents.
