3 Setting Up the DDU-100 Series AED This chapter describes the steps required to make your Defibtech DDU-100 Series AED operational. The DDU-100 Series 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 Defibtech Data Card (“DDC”) The Defibtech Data Card (“DDC”) is used to store event and audio information collected by the AED. All DDU-100 Series AEDs will operate without DDCs and will still store select event information internally.
3.4 Installing and Removing the Battery Pack NOTE: DDU-100 series AEDs will continue to perform standby and ASI functions without the 9V ASI battery installed, but battery pack standby life will be reduced. The lithium battery pack provides power to the DDU-100 Series AED. Before inserting the battery pack into the AED, the 9V lithium battery should be installed in the battery pack itself as described in the previous section.
First, check to ensure that the pad package has not expired. Pads past their expiration date should not be used and should be discarded. Insert the connector end of the defibrillation pad cable into the pads connector port on the top-left corner of the AED as shown at left. Insert the pads connector firmly until it is fully seated in the unit.
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 AED needs servicing (refer to Section 4.2 for more information). Defibtech recommends storing your AED in an easily-accessible location where the unit can be seen and heard. DAC-A580-EN-DF...
Indicator do not touch patient shock when the button LEDs analyzing is flashing. DDU-120: SHOCK Required auto Indicator Flashes when a shock is Speaker advised and the unit has charged and is about to deliver a shock.
4.2 Checking the AED Status Once a fully-functional battery pack is installed in the AED, an LED indicator located in the corner of the unit actively indicates unit status. If the unit is fully operational, the Active Status Indicator (“ASI”) will blink green and if the unit needs attention, the ASI will blink red. When the ASI blinks red, the unit will also “beep”...
4.4 Preparation 4.4.1 Call for Help As soon as the AED is turned on the unit will prompt the user to “Call for Help” . This indicates that the first step in a rescue should always be to contact professional emergency services. If another person is available, the user should direct that person to call for help and then continue the rescue without delay.
If not needed for immediate use, the pad package can then be stored in the pad storage slot in the back of the 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 AED Prompts At this point, the 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. If there is a problem with the pad connection, connector connection, patient motion or other inter- ference, the AED will guide the operator with audible and visual prompts.
4.7 No Shock Required If the AED’s ECG analysis algorithm has determined that a shock is not advised, it will not charge the unit, and the DDU-100 AED’s SHOCK button will not be enabled. If needed, the operator will be prompted to begin CPR.
4.10 AED Voice Prompts 4.10.1 General Prompts “Call for help” Purpose: As soon as the AED is turned on, the user will be prompted to call for help. This indicates that the first step in a rescue should always be to contact professional emergency services.
Page 30
Pad Connection/Pad Application Related Prompts (continued) “Apply pads to patient’s bare chest as shown” Purpose: The AED has determined that the pads are not placed on the patient or not properly applied. Place pads on the patient following instructions on the pads package. If the prompts continue, try replacing the pads with a new set.
4.10.3 Motion/Interference Prompts “Stop motion” Purpose: The AED has detected possible motion in the patient. Stop all patient motion, including CPR, in response to this prompt. “Stop interference” Purpose: The AED has detected interference on the ECG signal. Eliminate any radio or electrical sources of interference.
Purpose: The AED has aborted the shock. If the unit detects a rhythm change to a non- shockable rhythm, the unit will cancel the shock. Also, on the DDU-120 AED, if the SHOCK button is not pressed within 30 seconds of the initial “Press flashing SHOCK button” prompt, the unit will automatically cancel the shock.
Purpose: The AED has determined that a shock is not required. The unit will not charge and the unit will not enable the SHOCK button (DDU-100) or automatically deliver the shock (DDU-120). If the AED is charged, the shock will be canceled. The user will be prompted to begin CPR.
Flashes when DDU-100 AED is fully charged and ready to (DDU-100 ONLY) deliver a shock (user must press button to deliver a shock). Flashes when DDU-120 AED is about to automatically “SHOCK Required” (auto) deliver a shock. Do not touch the patient while this LED (DDU-120 ONLY) indicator is flashing.
5 Maintaining and Troubleshooting the DDU-100 Series AED This chapter describes the maintenance and troubleshooting procedures for the DDU-100 Series AED. The Self-Tests that are automatically performed by the device are described along with recommended routine maintenance. A troubleshooting guide is provided to help diagnose user serviceable problems.
