Tracking

U.S.A. federal regulations require Defibtech to maintain records for each AED it
distributes (reference 21 CFR 821, Medical Device Tracking). These requirements also
apply anytime there is a change in the AED’s location, including if you move, sell,
donate, give away, export or even throw it away. We depend on AED owners/users/
holders to contact us when these things happen to ensure the tracking information
remains accurate in the event we need to share important product notices. If your
location is outside the U.S.A., we ask you share your information for exactly the same
reasons. To keep your information up to date, please inform Defibtech using the
information in the “Contacts” section contained in this document.

WHEN TO USE THE AED (INDICATIONS)

The DDU-2000 Series Semi-Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) is indicated for
use on victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) who are:

• Unconscious and unresponsive

• Not breathing

For patients under 8 years old or less than 55 pounds (25kg), use child/infant
electrode pads. Do not delay therapy to determine exact age or weight.

WHEN NOT TO USE THE AED

The AED should not be used if the patient shows any of the following signs:

• Conscious and/or responsive

• Breathing

• Has a detectable pulse

OPERATOR TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

In order to safely and effectively operate the AED, a person shall have met the
following requirements:

• AED and/or defibrillation training as required by local, state, provincial, or
national regulations.

• Any additional training as required by the authorizing physician.

• Thorough knowledge and understanding of the material presented in this
User Manual.

Manual Mode (DDU-2400) is intended for use only by qualified medical personnel
trained in advanced life support skills and ECG recognition who want to deliver a
shock independent of AED Mode.

ECG Monitor Mode (DDU-2400 and DDU-2450 only) is intended to be used by
personnel trained in basic life and/or advanced life support, or other physician­authorized emergency medical training. Users should be trained in ECG
recognition to allow for rhythm and heart rate monitoring using standard ECG
