Defibtech Lifeline ARM, Trainer'S Manual

Page: 31 / 45

Troubleshooting During Operation of the Lifeline ARM
Refer to the User Manual for complete instructions on how to handle potential problems
encountered before, during, or after use of the Lifeline ARM. Some examples of warnings include:
Battery Pack Indicator
• If the Battery Pack indicator on the User Control Panel shows red (low
battery), replace the Battery Pack as soon as possible with a sufficiently
charged Battery Pack or apply external power.
• At any time, the Lifeline ARM can be connected to an external power
source to power the device during its operation, or to charge the battery.
Warning Indicators
The Warning Indicators on the User Control Panel will flash and be accompanied by an audible
alert to notify the user of a detected problem, such as possible misuse or malfunction.
Pressing the Warning Mute button causes the LED to illuminate red and silences the alert.
A muted audible alert will automatically disable.
If the Warning Indicator (located below the Battery Pack
Indicator on the User Control Panel) flashes red and is
accompanied by an audible alert:
• Check for installed and charged Battery Pack
• Check for proper Piston position and height
To clear the condition and try again, press the Pause button. If the device fails to perform
compressions, push the On/Off button for at least 1 second to power off. Then push the
On/Off button again for at least 1 second to turn it back on.
WARNING
If the condition persists, remove the Lifeline ARM from the patient and start manual CPR.
Service Indicator
Defibtech recommends periodic maintenance every 18 months of use. The
Service Indicator is the wrench symbol located on the User Control Panel.
After approximately 200 hours of operation, the Service Indicator LED will
flash red to indicate that the unit requires maintenance. The device may still be
used but should be serviced as soon as practical.
Trainer Tip:
Remind students that if they encounter device issues,
they should always minimize compression interruptions and perform
manual compressions whenever possible.
