Code-Ready System
The R Series defibrillator’s Code-Ready system tests the defibrillator whenever the unit is
turned on, periodically during operation, whenever manual testing is initiated by the operator,
and automatically, at pre-configured intervals.
The code readiness indicator on the front panel shows the result of the most recent readiness
check. Also, OneStep Pacing, CPR or Complete electrodes provide an interface that
communicates the electrode’s expiration date and condition to the defibrillator.
The Defib Test Log stores the results for as many as 1000 defibrillator tests in internal memory.
Each log entry shows the time and date of the defibrillator test. The Defib Test Log can be
printed on the stripchart or transferred to a personal computer for printing and archiving.

seconds (user configurable) if the
