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.

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.
