11 Maintenance and Technical Inspection
Schedule
To make sure the defibrillator remains in proper operational and functional order, a good maintenance
schedule must be adhered to. The manufacturer’s recommendations in this regard is as follows:
Inspection—Operators should perform this prior to admitting each patient to the defibrillator. Service
personnel should perform this prior to servicing the defibrillator. As a general rule, the battery
conditioning program should be run as part of the inspection (internal conditioning program or
separate charging unit ASU 3000).
General cleaning—Operators should perform this prior to admitting each patient to the defibrillator.
Service personnel should perform this after servicing the defibrillator.
Checkout Procedures—These should be performed by qualified service personnel upon receipt of the
equipment, every year thereafter, and each time the defibrillator is serviced.
Leakage Current Tests—These should be performed by qualified service personnel upon receipt of
the equipment, every year thereafter, and each time the defibrillator is serviced.
Calibration—Calibration of the shock energy measurement should be performed by qualified service
personnel as soon as the yearly performed accuracy check showed deviation of the shock energy
levels compared to those provided in the table on page 57. The calibration should also be
performed whenever a circuit board is removed, repaired or replaced in the defibrillator. The
calibration should also be performed if the software was updated.
Manufacturer Responsibility
Failure on the part of all responsible individuals, hospitals or the institutions, employing the use of this
defibrillator, to implement the recommended maintenance schedule may cause equipment failure and
potential operator and patient health hazards. The manufacturer does not in any manner, unless an
Equipment Maintenance Agreement exists, assume the responsibility for performing the recommended
maintenance schedule. The sole responsibility rests with all individuals, hospitals, or institutions
utilizing the defibrillator.
Visual Inspection
Carefully inspect the defibrillator prior to each patient being admitted to the monitoring system.
Follow theses guidelines when inspecting the equipment:
•
Carefully inspect the defibrillator for obvious physical damage to the outer case, display screen
and controls. Do not use the defibrillator if physical damage is evident. Refer damaged
equipment to qualified service personnel for repair before using it again on a patient.
•
Inspect all external connectors, top and rear, for degraded pins, prongs and connector housings.
Refer damaged equipment to qualified service personnel for repair before using it again on a
patient.
•
Inspect all cable insulation, cable strain-reliefs and cable connectors for damage, cracks or
degradation. Refer damaged equipment to qualified service personnel for repair before using it
again on a patient.
•
The defibrillator electrodes as well as handles must be free of any cream residues.
•
Safety labels and inscriptions on the device are clearly legible.
General Cleaning
Clean external surfaces
The exterior surfaces may be cleaned with a lint-free cloth dampened with one of these approved
solutions:
