RUNNING A DEFIBRILLATOR TEST
WARNING
All connections to patients must be removed
before connecting the Device Under Test (DUT)
to the Analyzer. A serious hazard may occur if
the patient is connected when testing
with the Analyzer.
Do not connect any leads from the patient
directly to the Analyzer or DUT.
INTRODUCTION
primary measure of the output is the Energy that it contains. Other information deals with
the maximum voltage and current as well as the pulses timing with respect to the R-wave.
The human body has characteristic impedance that may vary, but 50 ohms is used for
comparative defibrillator testing. The DA-2006 has a large internal 50 ohm non-inductive
resistor to simulate a body. It is sized to accept repeated pulses at the maximum
energy levels.
39
Defibrillator Analyzer
The energy contained in a pulse is determined mathematically based on the fact that
the energy is defined as the integral of the power curve. The following formulas
describe the basic computation:
E = P dt
P = V
2
/ R => E = V2 / R dt = V2 dt / R
This computation is implemented digitally by taking timed samples of the voltage every
100 µsec for 100 msec (1000 readings). Each value is then squared and divided by the
resistance (50 ohms). The sum of these 1000 values times 10 is then the Energy in
Joules (Watt Seconds) contained in the pulse.
40
Running a Defibrillator Test
The setup for a Defibrillation Test is dependent on the physical hardware involved. For
the sake of this example we will assume a standard defibrillator with 5 lead ECG.

Paddle plates. The signal level is 1 mv per 1000 volts on Lead 1.
c. At the same time, the test results are sent to the printer.
(9) The Status line will change to indicate the various steps as they are being done.
(10) At the end of the process the results are continuously displayed in the Test
Results section of the MAIN SCREEN. They will remain there until another test
is performed, the range is changed or the power is turned off.
NOTE: Special note should be made of the “Delay: xxx msec” line in the
results. This will show the delay between the peak of the R-wave and the
start of the Pulse.
(11) The user may repeat the playback of the waveform at any time by changing to
the PLAYBACK LAST PULSE SCREEN using the key. In this
screen the pulse may be viewed in 20 msec segments and paused for review.
NOTE: The pulse is sent to the ECG and Paddle outputs at the same time
it is being displayed on the screen.

Running a Defibrillator Test
The charging time of a Defibrillator is nothing more than a measurement of the time
required for the Defibrillator to charge. It is used to test the battery, charging circuitry
and capacitor. The DA-2006 provides a simple way to start and stop the timer. It also
records the results.
This section is provided as a guide to familiarize
CHARGE TIME TEST
WARNING
the user with the DA-2006 Series. It is not
intended to provide the necessary test sequence
for every Defibrillator. The user must consult the
manufacturer’s manual for each DUT to
determine the correct test procedure to follow.
(1) Turn on the DA-2006.
(2) The unit will come up in the “High Range Defibrillator “ mode. This range is used
for normal adult testing.
(3) Set the Defibrillator to its maximum power setting.
(4) Depress the key.

(5) While the Pre-Warning Countdown is running, place the Defibrillator Paddles on
the DA-2006 contact plates. The APEX is on the right and the STERNUM is on
the left.
NOTE: Reversing the paddles will not cause any mage to the unit or error
in the energy reading. However, it will cause the polarity of the
oscilloscope output and the playback waveform to be reversed.
(6) Holding the paddles firmly in place, wait until the Pre-Warning Countdown
equals zero and then immediately start charging the Defibrillator.
(7) As soon as the DUT is fully charged, discharge it into the DA-2006.
(8) At the end of the process the results are continuously displayed in the Test
Results section of the MAIN SCREEN. They will remain there until another test
is performed, the range is changed or the power is turned off.
NOTE: The last line in the Test Results section of the screen will show
“Chg Time: xxx.x sec”
Observe all precautions noted by the Defibrillator
Manufacturer when using the Defibrillator.

SHOCK ADVISORY
ALGORITHM TEST
The Shock Advisory Algorithm Test works with the analysis and prompting functions on
automatic and semiautomatic Defibrillators. These circuits look at ECG waveforms and
prompt the user to “Shock” or “No Shock” based on national and international
guidelines. The following table outlines these guidelines:

The Sensitivity Test is used to determine the smallest waveform that the pacemaker can
detect. For this test, the selected waveform is generated outside of the refractory period of
the pacemaker. The DA-2006P uses a successive approximation approach to determine
the smallest output waveform that can be detected by the pacemaker. The Sensitivity Test

At the end of the test, the display will show the pacemaker amplitude sensitivity at the
Pacer Terminals and the ECG Terminals.

For on-demand pacemakers, the pacemaker should ignore any ECG activity after a pacer
pulse for a specific period of time. This time period is known as the Refractory Period. The
Paced Refractory Period is the time after the pacemaker pulse that ECG activity is ignored.
If an ECG pulse is present inside the refractory period, it is ignored. If an ECG pulse is
detected outside of the refractory period, the pacemaker will re-synchronize to the sensed
ECG pulse. For each sensed ECG pulse, there is a second refractory period. This is
known as the Sensed Refractory Period. It is the period of time after the sensed ECG
pulse that ECG activity is ignored. The Refractory Period Test may be initiated by pressing
the key from the PACE MAIN SCREEN.
