DefiSign Life AED

6 Maintenance

6.1 Maintenance Intervals

• Because

 

DefiSign Life AED

®

 

is

 

an emergency device, some verification

 

has to

 

be done

 

as written in the following table 

in 

order to maintain the device operational, 

includin g

 

the accessories.The test results must be recorded and

 

compared to the 

values ac-companying the documents (see 

7.7 Inspection report)

• If used in optimal conditions (see Chapter 

6.1.1 Exemption from the technical safe-

ty inspection)

, the 

DefiSign Life AED

®

 

does not need any particular

 

maintenance tests since the device is able to test itself automatically on a regular

 

basis, and it issue s

 

a warning if any action either from the user or from a

 

technician is required.

• Local regulations in your country may stipulate additional or different inspection in-

tervals and tests.

• The following table indicates the intervals and competence of the maintenance

 

work required. 

Interval

Maintenance - replacement

Responsible

After each use

• Replace the electrodes.
• After battery insertion, check that the status LED is blinking and that 

the other LEDs are off (see 

6.1.4 Mains status LED)

• Visual inspection of the device see 

6.1.3 Visual inspection of the de-

vice and accessories

.

User

Once a Week/Month

• Check that the green main status LED is blinking and all other LEDs 

are off (see 

6.1.4 Mains status LED

)

• Visual inspection of the device and accessories, see 

6.1.3 Visual in-

spection of the device and accessories

.

User

Every 3 years 

• Technical safety inspection is advised according to SCHILLER doc-

umentation (available for technical departments authorised by 
SCHILLER), see 

6.1.5 Functional check

.

Note:

For an exemption from the 3-year technical service inspection, see 

section 

6.1.1 Exemption from the technical safety inspection

Service staff authorised
by SCHILLER

Every 6 years

• Replacement of internal backup battery. A technical safety inspec-

tion and a software update (if needed) are advised after opening the 
device, see 

6.1.5 Functional check

Note:

The replacement of the internal backup battery is advised. Should this 
internal backup battery not be replaced every 6 years, SCHILLER can-
not ensure the proper time stamping of the intervention.
