4.4 Preparation
4.4.1 Call for Help
As soon as the AED is turned on the unit will prompt the user to “call for help”. This indicates that
the first step in a rescue should always be to contact professional emergency services.
If another person is available, the user should direct that person to call for help and then continue
the rescue without delay.
4.4.2 Preparing the Patient
Prepare the patient by removing any clothing from the patient’s chest. Wipe away moisture
from the chest if necessary (the defibrillation pads will stick better on dry skin). If necessary,
shave excessive chest hair, which can prevent effective patient-electrode contact. To ensure that
electrode pads fully contact the patient’s skin, check that no jewelry or other objects are directly
underneath where the pads will be placed.
4.4.3 Opening the Pad Package
Remove the pad package from the pad storage slot at the back of the AED. Open the pad package
by tearing along the dotted line, starting at the black arrow (follow directions on the package). Pull
the protective backing from the pads and check that the pads are:
• Free from obvious signs of damage.
• Clean of excessive debris (for example, dirt if the pad was dropped).
• Not dried out, and that the gel is sticky and will adhere to the patient.
• Not expired. Do not use pads after the expiration date printed on the package.
If any of these conditions is found, use a new set of pads.
4.4.4 Connecting Defibrillation Pads to the DDU-100 AED
The DDU-100 AED is designed to be stored with the defibrillation pad connector
attached to the unit, while the pads themselves remain sealed in their package.
This reduces the time needed to setup and start treatment in an emergency.
The Defibtech AED should be stored with the pad connector plugged into the
unit. However, if pads were damaged or not properly connected, you may need
to substitute a new set of pads during an emergency. The pad connector is on
the corner of the AED.
To remove an old set of pads, pull firmly on the pad connector. Do not reuse used pads. Insert
the connector for the new pads as shown. The connector will only fit in one way – if the connector
does not fit, rotate the connector before trying again. Insert connector firmly until it is completely
seated in the unit.
