5 MAINTAINING THE HEARTSTART ONSITE

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The OnSite is very simple to maintain. The OnSite performs a self-test every day. In addition, a battery insertion self-test is run whenever a battery is installed in the device. The OnSite’s extensive automatic self-test features eliminate the need for any manual calibration. The OnSite has no user-serviceable parts.

WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Do not open the OnSite, remove its covers, or attempt repair. There are no user-serviceable components in the OnSite. If repair is required, return the OnSite to Philips for service.

REMINDERS:

Do not leave the OnSite without a pads cartridge installed; the OnSite will start chirping and the i-button will start flashing. For directions on changing the pads cartridge, see Chapter 2, “Setting up the HeartStart OnSite.”

The OnSite runs daily self-tests. As long as the green Ready light is blinking, it

is not necessary to test the OnSite by initiating a battery insertion self-test.

This uses battery power and risks draining the battery prematurely.

PERIODIC CHECKS

Other than the checks recommended after each use of the OnSite, maintenance is limited to periodically checking the following:

Check the green Ready light. If the green Ready light is not blinking, see Troubleshooting Tips, below.

Replace any used, damaged or expired supplies and accessories

Check the outside of the OnSite. If you see cracks or other signs of damage, contact Philips for technical support.
