G TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING

TESTING

As long as a battery is installed, the HeartStart OnSite Defibrillator automatically tests itself every day and alerts you if it finds a problem. The self-test includes pads readiness testing. In addition, it runs a pads self-test each time a pads cartridge is inserted. It alerts you if it finds a problem. See the Technical Reference Manual, available online at www.philips.com/productdocumentation, for a detailed discussion of the self-tests.

You can also test the OnSite at any time by removing the battery for five seconds then reinstalling it. This test takes about one minute. Because the battery insertion self-test is very detailed and uses battery power, running it more often than necessary will drain the battery prematurely. It is recommended that you run the battery insertion self-test only:

when the OnSite is first put into service.

after each time the OnSite is used to treat a patient.

when the battery is replaced.

E

when the OnSite may have been damaged.

 

If you need to use the OnSite in an emergency while you are running a battery self- test, pull the SMART Pads cartridge handle to stop the test and to turn on the HeartStart for use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The OnSite’s green Ready light is the signal that tells you if the OnSite is ready for use. The OnSite also uses chirps and the i-button flashes to alert you to a problem.

RECOMMENDED ACTION DURING AN EMERGENCY

If for any reason the OnSite does not turn on when you pull the SMART Pads cartridge handle, press the On/Off button.

If that does not turn on the OnSite, remove the battery and replace it with a new battery if available and press the On/Off button to turn on the OnSite. If no spare
