Unpacking and Inspection

Follow standard receiving practices upon receipt of the instrument. Check the shipping carton for damage. If damage
is found, stop unpacking the instrument. Notify the freight carrier and ask for an agent to be present while the
instrument is unpacked. There are no special unpacking instructions, but be careful not to damage the instrument
when unpacking it. Inspect the instrument for physical damage such as bent or broken parts, dents, or scratches.

Claims

Our routine method of shipment is via common carrier. Upon delivery, if physical damage is found, retain all packing
materials in their original condition and contact the carrier immediately to file a claim.
If the instrument is delivered in good physical condition but does not operate within specifications, or if there are any
other problems not caused by shipping damage, please contact your local sales representative or DSI immediately.

Warranty Disclaimer

Should you elect to have your instrument serviced and/or calibrated by someone other than Datrend Systems,
please be advised that the original warranty covering your product becomes void when the tamper-resistant Quality
Seal is removed or broken without proper factory authorization. We strongly recommend, therefore, that you send
your instrument to Datrend Systems for service and calibration, especially during the original warranty period.
In all cases, breaking the tamper-resistant Quality Seal should be avoided at all cost, as this seal is the key to your
original instrument warranty. In the event that the seal must be broken to gain internal access to the instrument (e.g.,
in the case of a customer-installed firmware upgrade), you must first contact Datrend Systems at 1-800-667-6557.
You will be required to provide us with the serial number for your instrument as well as a valid reason for breaking
the Quality Seal. You should break this seal only after you have received factory authorization. Do not break the
Quality Seal before you have contacted us! Following these steps will help ensure that you will retain the original
warranty on your instrument without interruption.

WARNING

Unauthorized user modifications or application beyond the published specifications may result in electrical shock
hazards or improper operation. Datrend Systems will not be responsible for any injuries sustained due to
unauthorized equipment modifications.

DSI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR APPLICATION.

THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS NO USER-SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS.
UNAUTHORIZED REMOVAL OF THE INSTRUMENT COVER SHALL VOID
THIS AND ALL OTHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES.

1 Overview

vPad-XSC™ for Impulse 4000 (referred to as "the Interface" in this manual) is an intelligent hardware
interface which supports vPad electrical safety analyzers having the vPad-Check™ software application
(App) installed. The Interface allows vPad-Check to conduct automated maintenance and inspection
sequences on defibrillators using the Impulse 4000 analyzer.

In addition to automated control of Impulse 4000 operation, the vPad-XSC provides automatic
assessment of measurement results based on user-defined limits

This manual provides guidance for users integrating vPad-Check™ and vPad-XSC™ for Impulse 4000

1.3 Checklists and vPL

In vPad-Check, equipment maintenance and inspection procedures are called

Checklists

. A Checklist can
contain a sequence of prompts for the operator as well as machine instructions to configure the vPad
safety analyzer and to conduct other tests through a remote instrument. In this case, the remote instrument
is an Impulse 4000 defibrillator and transcutaneous pacemaker analyzer.

In a Checklist, prompts and machine instructions are written as statements in

Language

(vPL). A statement generally consists of a specific keyword followed by one or more

vPad Programming

parameters. For example, the statement

xopen "Impulse 4000 XSC" | D | 5

initializes a data connection between the Interface and Impulse 4000 using the keyword “xopen”. Other
statements are responsible for configuring and initiating tests through Impulse 4000 .

Checklists can be written on the Android tablet, or on a personal computer (PC), using a text editor, or
using the Datrend vPad-IDE. Once a new Checklist has been written, it can be imported to vPad-Check
through a USB flash drive, via Bluetooth or a cloud service (Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive).
Further information on Checklists and vPL, including a full list of vPL keywords, is provided in the vPad-

Check Operating Manual which can be opened with the Datrend Docs app: .
