Checking Pad And Battery Pack Expiration Dates
It is important to check the expiration dates of the pads and battery pack. The expiration date of the pads package is
printed on the outside of the sealed package. The expiration date of the battery pack is printed on the label on the
battery pack. Once an accessory is past its expiration date, it should be taken out of service and replaced as soon
as possible. Follow the instructions in the “
Installing And Removing The Battery Pack
”
sections of Chapter 3 in this manual to replace an expired part with an unexpired part. Pads should be discarded.
Battery packs should be appropriately recycled.
You may also check the status of pads and battery pack when the unit is off by pressing the center softkey button
to display the AED Status Screen and enter Maintenance Mode. (Refer to the “
”
section in
Chapter 8 of this manual.)
Checking The Defibtech Data Card (DDC card), If One Is Installed
Each time the DDU-2000 Series AED is used, an event file is created on the DDC card (if installed). If the unit was
used to treat a patient, the Defibtech Data Card (DDC card) in the unit should be removed and provided to the
patient’s care provider. A new DDC card should be installed before the next use.
To remove the DDC card, ensure the AED is OFF. Locate the data card/USB port access door on the right-hand side of
the unit. Open the data card/USB port access door by slightly pushing and then sliding the door down to release the
latch. The door will spring open. To remove the DDC card, press the card in as far as it will go, and then release. Upon
release, the DDC card will be partially ejected and can be removed by pulling the DDC card the rest of the way out.
To install a new DDC card, insert the DDC card into the thin slot in the side of the AED centered above the USB port
opening, notched end first, label side up, until it clicks into place. The card should be flush with the surface of the
slot. If the card does not push in all the way, it may have been inserted upside down. In that case, remove the card,
flip it over, and try inserting it again.
Close the data card/USB port access door by closing and then pushing up the door until the door latch engages.
Note
: A DDC card is not required for the DDU-2000 Series AED to operate. Even if a DDC card is not installed, the
unit will still record basic essential information internally. The AED will still operate properly even after a “replace
data card” message.
