3.Unless your protocol requires that the battery remain installed, remove the

battery for five seconds, then reinstall it to run the battery insertion self-test to check the operation of the defibrillator.* When the test is complete, check

that the green Ready light is blinking.

4.Return the HeartStart to its storage location so it will be ready for use when needed.

HeartStart data storage

The HeartStart automatically stores data about its last clinical use in its internal memory. The stored data can be conveniently transferred to a personal computer or a handheld computer running the appropriate application in the Philips HeartStart Event Review data management software suite. Event Review software is for use by trained personnel only. Information about HeartStart Event Review is available online at www.medical.philips.com/goto/eventreview.

*If you leave the battery in the HeartStart after using the defibrillator, then transfer the last-use data to a computer running HeartStart Event Review software, the software will calculate the local date and time of the device use. However, if you remove the battery prior to transferring the data, the software will only show elapsed time.
