Optional Maintenance Tests
This section includes a physical inspection of the ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator that
you should perform periodically. There is also an optional maintenance test for
ZOLL AED 3 models to verify that the AED is working properly and is ready for
use. Note that there are two separate optional maintenance tests in this chapter:
One for ZOLL AED 3 and ZOLL AED 3
BLS
models, and one for the ZOLL AED 3
Automatic
model.
Physical Inspection
Cleaning the ZOLL AED 3 Defibrillator
After each use, clean and disinfect the defibrillator with a soft, damp cloth using
either 90% isopropyl alcohol, or soap and water. You can also use a chlorine
bleach and water mixture (30 ml/liter water) to clean the defibrillator (except on
the contacts and connectors).
NOTE
Wipe down the defibrillator with water after using any cleaning solution.
Chlorine residue that remains on the LCD screen may damage it.
DO NOT:
•
Immerse any part of the defibrillator in water.
•
Use chlorine mixture on contacts or connectors; this will degrade the
contacts over time.
•
Use ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.) to clean the defibrillator.
•
Use abrasives (e.g., paper towel) on the display window or graphic screen.
•
Sterilize the defibrillator.
Check the following:
1.
Is the AED clean, undamaged, free of excessive wear?
2.
Verify that the defibrillation pads are connected to the AED and sealed in their
package. Replace defibrillation pads if expired.
3.
Are there any cracks or loose parts in the housing?
4.
Turn on the AED and verify the green check (
)
indicates ready for use; then
turn it off.
