Automatic Self Test
By default, the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit performs an automatic self test once every 7 days (this
interval can be configured to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days) when the unit is stored with batteries installed.
This self test verifies the following Fully Automatic AED Plus functions:
1. Battery Capacity: Verifies that the battery usage indicator shows adequate battery capacity
remaining.
2. Defibrillation Electrodes Connection: Verifies that the defibrillation electrodes are properly pre-
connected to the device.
3. ECG Circuitry: Verifies that the ECG signal acquisition and processing electronics are functional.
4. Defibrillator Charge and Discharge Circuitry: Verifies that the device’s defibrillator electronics are
functional and can charge and discharge at 2 joules.
5. Microprocessor Hardware/Software: Verifies proper function of the Fully Automatic AED Plus
microprocessor electronics and the integrity of its software.
6. CPR Circuitry and Sensor: Verifies that CPR monitoring and compression depth detection are
functional.
Automatic Monthly Test
By default, the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit performs an automatic self test once per month when
the unit is stored with batteries installed. This self test verifies the following Fully Automatic AED Plus
functions:
1. Battery Capacity: Verifies that the battery usage indicator shows adequate battery capacity
remaining.
2. Defibrillation Electrodes Connection: Verifies that the defibrillation electrodes are properly pre-
connected to the device.
3. ECG Circuitry: Verifies that the ECG signal acquisition and processing electronics are functional.
4. Defibrillator Charge and Discharge Circuitry: Verifies that the device’s defibrillator electronics are
functional and can charge and discharge at 200 joules.
5. Microprocessor Hardware/Software: Verifies proper function of the Fully Automatic AED Plus
microprocessor electronics and the integrity of its software.
6. CPR Circuitry and Sensor: Verifies that CPR monitoring and compression depth detection are
functional.
Installing or Replacing Batteries
To power the Fully Automatic AED Plus, use 10 consumer type 123A Photo Flash lithium manganese
dioxide batteries. You can purchase these batteries at many department, camera or electronics stores.
These batteries:
• Should be used well before their labeled expiration date.
• Should be checked periodically for the expiration date.
CAUTION! Use Duracell, Sanyo or Varta batteries only. Do not use Panasonic or Rayovac
batteries. Use of Panasonic or Rayovac batteries may result in significantly longer
defibrillator charging times than those required during emergency situations.
