Operational Checks

Operational Checks

The following operational checks are intended to quickly verify the proper operation of the HeartStart XLT. Perform these checks regularly, at the inter- vals specified, along with visual inspection of the device and all cables, con- trols, accessories and supplies. Also regularly check expiration dates of all supplies, such as multifunction defib electrode pads and monitoring electrodes.

Before You Begin

Before you run the Shift/System Check, be aware of the following conditions:

Do not touch any of the controls on the HeartStart XLT while the

￿Shift/System Check is running.

If a )DLOXUH or 6HUYLFH￿8QLW message is displayed, or if an unexpected 1RW￿ 7HVWHG￿result is displayed, check that the test is set up correctly. Make sure that:

￿the paper is in the printer

￿the test load is attached

￿a Data Card with enough space is inserted into the HeartStart

XLT

￿a charged battery is inserted into the HeartStart XLT

Run the Shift/System Check again, ensuring that no one touches any

￿of the controls on the defibrillator unless prompted to do so.

If the Data Card is full, the message 6HUYLFH￿8QLW appears at the bottom of the screen and the message 'DWD￿&DUG￿)XOO appears at the top of the

screen. Replace the Data Card and perform the Shift/System Check again. If the message￿6HUYLFH￿8QLW￿continues to appear, do not use the device and call for service.
