ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The DDU-100 Series AED is designed to be very low maintenance. Simple maintenance tasks are
recommended to be performed regularly to ensure its readiness (see sample maintenance table
below). Different maintenance intervals may be appropriate depending on the environment where
the AED is deployed, and ultimately the maintenance program is at the discretion of the emergency
response program's medical director.

Note: If the unit has been dropped, mishandled, or abused, a manually-initiated self-test should
be performed.
If the unit still requires attention after a manually-initiated self-test has been performed, refer to
"Troubleshooting" on page 20 or call Defi btech for service (refer to "Contacts" section on page 30).
CHECKING THE CONDITION OF THE UNIT AND ACCESSORIES
Inspect the unit for cracks or other signs of damage on the case, as well as dirt or contamination,
especially in the areas around the connector socket and battery pack opening. If any cracks or other
signs of damage are observed, remove the unit from service and contact an authorized service
center. If any dirt or contamination is observed, refer to the "Cleaning" section of the full User
Manual (available at www.defi btech.com).
It is important that the patient pads and the battery packs not be used past their expiration dates.
The expiration date of the pad package is printed on the outside of the sealed package. The
expiration date of the battery pack is printed on the label on the pack. The battery pack should be
removed and replaced by this date; when the battery pack is used up, the unit will indicate "battery
low" or "replace battery now" and the Active Status Indicator will fl ash red.
Once an accessory is past its expiration date, it should be replaced immediately. Follow the
instructions in the "Installing and Removing the Battery Pack" and "How to Connect the Pads"
sections of this guide to replace the part with an unexpired part. Patient pads should be discarded.
Battery packs should be appropriately recycled.

CLEANING
Periodically clean the AED of any dirt or contaminants on the case and connector socket. The following
are important guidelines to be adhered to when cleaning the device:
• The battery pack should be installed when cleaning the AED.
• Do not immerse the AED in fl uids or allow fl uids 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. The following cleaning agents are recommended for cleaning the AED case and the
connector socket:
– Soapy water
– Ammonia based cleaners

– Chlorine bleach (30 ml/liter water)
• Ensure that the connector socket is completely dry before reinstalling the pads cable. After
cleaning the device and before returning it to service, always turn the unit on for a few seconds,
which will cause the unit to run a standard power-on self-test.
