Optional Maintenance for Technical Professionals
The Fully Automatic AED Plus automatically performs maintenance testing during periodic self tests.
However, if a qualified technical professional wishes to test the Fully Automatic AED Plus further,
the following checkout procedure can be followed:
1. Connect an Fully Automatic AED Plus Simulator/Tester (or equivalent) to the Fully Automatic
AED Plus electrode connector.
2. Power on the simulator and Fully Automatic AED Plus. Verify that all of the following occur:
• The status indicator (located on the left side of the handle) initially displays a red “X” which
changes to a green check (
)
within 4 to 5 seconds after the Fully Automatic AED Plus is
turned on.
• All top panel user interface lights (LEDs) illuminate sequentially.
• The Fully Automatic AED Plus issues the UNIT OK voice prompt within 5 seconds after
power-up (and displays the message if equipped with an LCD).
• If the Fully Automatic AED Plus has an LCD, the message “SHOCKS: 0” appears in the upper
left corner and the elapsed time (since power-up) appears in the upper right corner of the screen.
3. Using the simulator, input a VF rhythm to the Fully Automatic AED Plus. Verify that after the
Fully Automatic AED Plus proceeds through its sequence of victim assessment prompts, it:
• analyzes the ECG rhythm
• issues the SHOCK ADVISED voice prompt
• charges the defibrillator
• issues the DON’T TOUCH PATIENT, ANALYZING and SHOCK WILL BE DELIVERED IN
THREE (TWO), (ONE) voice prompts
4. Verify that the shock tone is heard and that the Shock Indicator illuminates when the shock is
automatically delivered.
5. Verify that the message “Shocks: 1” displays on LCD screen.
NOTE This test checks the device’s ability to defibrillate. It does not, however, verify that the correct
defibrillation energy was delivered. A defibrillator analyzer should be used in place of the Fully
Automatic AED Plus simulator/tester to verify the accuracy of the delivered energy.
6. Following shock delivery, verify that the Fully Automatic AED Plus issues the START CPR
messages.
7. Activate the simulator’s CPR function. Verify that the adaptive metronome begins to beep and that
the following voice prompts/messages are issued within 60 seconds: PUSH HARDER followed
by GOOD COMPRESSIONS.
8. After approximately two minutes of CPR, verify that the STOP CPR prompt is issued. Set the
simulator to Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR) and verify that a new ECG analysis begins.
9. Verify that a NO SHOCK ADVISED prompt is issued.
10. Turn the Fully Automatic AED Plus and Simulator off.

Fully Automatic AED Plus back into service.
