Performance Verification and Safety Tests
Shock Advisory Functional Check
This section describes how to check the Shock Advisory function.
1. Connect the ECG simulator to the pads cable. Set the simulator for nor-
mal sinus rhythm (NSR), 1mV amplitude, at some nominal rate (e.g., 60
bpm).
2. Set the M3500B/M5500B to AED Mode and press
.
3. Verify that the defibrillator responds with
No Shock Advised
.
4. Set the simulator to Asystole (or turn the simulator off) and press
. Verify that the defibrillator still responds with
No Shock
Advised
.
5. Set the simulator to VF (Ventricular Fibrillation) and press
.
Verify that the defibrillator responds with
Shock Advised
and charges up to
150J. If the unit is configured to do so, verify that it automatically prints a
strip of the event.
WARNING
Do not discharge the stored energy unless you are certain the simulator contains a
50 ohm test load.
6. If the simulator contains a 50 ohm test load, discharge the stored energy
into the test load. If it does not, or you are not sure, wait until the defibril-
lator reports
Shock cancelled
before proceeding with other tests.
Synchronized Cardioversion Functional Check
This section describes how to check the operation of the synchronized cardio-
version function.
1. Connect the ECG simulator to the ECG cable. Connect the defibrillator
analyzer to the pads cable.
2. Set the simulator for normal sinus rhythm (NSR), 1mV amplitude, at
some nominal rate (e.g., 60 bpm).
3. Set the defibrillator to Manual Mode, and press SYNC.
4. Verify that sync markers appear on the display, at the peak or on the fall-
ing side of the QRS complex. Adjust the size of the displayed ECG as
needed to view it more clearly.
5. Select an energy of 5 J. Press
then press and hold
until
the shock is delivered (at next QRS).
6. Verify on the defibrillator analyzer that the shock was delivered, and was
5J +2J.
7. If the unit is configured to do so, verify that it prints a strip with the cor-
rect information on it (waveform, text).
8. Verify on the defibrillator analyzer that the delay between the peak of the
QRS and the delivered shock was <60 msec.
