1.2 Service Manual TEC-7600/7700
1. GENERAL
Caution - continued
Transport
• Use the specified shipment container and packing material to
transport the instrument. If necessary, double pack the instrument.
Also, put the instrument into the shipment container after packing so
that the buffer material does not get into the inside of the instrument.
• When transporting a board or unit of the instrument, be sure to use a
conductive bag on. Never use an aluminum bag when transporting a
board or unit on which a lithium battery is mounted. Also, never use
a styrene foam or plastic bag which generates static electricity to wrap
the board or unit of the instrument.
Handling the instrument
• Because the outside surface of the instrument is made of resin, the
outside surface of the instrument is easily damaged. So when
handling the instrument, remove clutter from around the instrument
and be careful to not damage the instrument or get it dirty.
• Because most of the boards in the instrument are multilayer boards
with surface mounted electrical devices (SMD), when removing and
soldering the electrical devices, a special tool is required. To avoid
damaging other electrical components, do not remove and solder
SMD components yourself.
Measuring and Test Equipment
Maintain the accuracy of the measuring and test equipment by
checking and calibrating it according to the check and calibration
procedures.

Service Policy, Service Parts and Patient Safety Checks
Service Policy Our technical service policy for this instrument is to replace the faulty unit, board
or part or damaged mechanical part with a new one. Do not perform electrical
device or component level repair of the multilayer board or unit. We do not support
component level repair outside the factory for the following reasons:
• Most of the boards are multilayer boards with surface mounted electrical
devices, so the mounting density of the board is too high.
• A special tool or high degree of repair skill is required to repair the multilayer
boards with surface mounted electrical devices.
Only disassemble the instrument or replace a board or unit in an environment
where the instrument is protected against static electricity.
As background knowledge for repair, pay special attention to the following:
• You can reduce the repair time by considering the problem before starting repair.
• You can clarify the source of most of the troubles using the information from the
troubleshooting tables. Refer to “Troubleshooting“ of this manual.

non-patient care device is accidentally placed near the defibrillator,
quickly remove it.
• MRI examination
- Do not install this defibrillator in an MRI examination room. The
defibrillator may not operate properly due to high-frequency
magnetic noise from the MRI.
- When performing MRI tests, remove all electrodes and transducers
from the patient which are connected to this defibrillator. Failure to
follow this warning may cause serious electrical burn on the patient
due to local heating caused by dielectric electromotive force. For
details, refer to the instruction manual for the MRI.
• Using with ESU
- When using this defibrillator with an ESU, the ESU return plate and
the electrodes for monitoring must be firmly attached to the patient.
If the return plate is not attached correctly, it may burn the patient’s
skin where the electrodes are attached. Refer to the instruction
manual for the ESU.
- When using an ESU, use this defibrillator only in the MONITOR
mode and use the ECG electrodes for monitoring. Do not monitor
ECG with disposable pads, external paddles or internal paddles.
Otherwise, high frequency energy from the ESU causes abnormal
current to flow in the patient and unexpected discharge. This causes
serious electrical burn, shock, or other injury and damages the
defibrillator.

Defibrillation,
Cardioversion and AED
General
WARNING
• Before defibrillation and cardioversion, make sure that no one is in
contact with either the patient or any metal part of any equipment or
cables which supports or is connected to the patient. Failure to follow
this warning causes serious electrical shock or injury.
• Before defibrillation and cardioversion, remove all electrodes, probes
and transducers connected to a connector without a “ ” or “ ”
mark from the patient. Otherwise the operator may get electrical
shock and the connected instrument may be damaged.
• Before defibrillation and cardioversion, move all electrodes and
medicine on the patient’s chest to positions where the defibrillator
paddle or disposable pad will not touch. If the defibrillator paddle or
disposable pad directly touches electrodes or medicine, it causes skin
burn on the electrode or medicine attachment site.
• Do not carry or move the defibrillator when the charged energy
remains in the defibrillator. If the defibrillator falls, it discharges
energy and can cause electrical shock.
• For this defibrillator, the CONTACT lamp on the STERNUM paddle
indicates skin-paddle contact impedance. If the yellow or orange lamp
lights, the defibrillator may cause serious electric burn on the
patient’s skin and poor energy discharge to the patient. In case of an
emergency, medical personnel should decide whether to execute
discharge immediately, regardless of the CONTACT lamp display, or
take action to make good contact before discharge.
• Pay careful attention to the energy selection when using the pediatric
electrode plates. Applying high energy with the pediatric electrode
plates can cause serious electrical burn because the electrode plates
are small.
• Use the ECG monitoring electrodes (disposable electrodes) to monitor
the ECG waveforms. Stable ECG cannot be acquired with the PADDLE
lead because it is difficult to hold the paddles stable. ECG acquired
from external paddles, internal paddles or disposable pads is unstable
after discharge because of high polarization voltage.
• Do not perform defibrillation or cardioversion in a wet place. Before
defibrillation or cardioversion, move the patient and defibrillator to a
dry place. Otherwise the operator may get electrical shock.
• Do not discharge near a person or object other than the patient or test
electrode plate or energy checker. It may cause electrical shock to the
person or object.
• Confirm that there is no artifact on the ECG. If there is artifact on the
ECG, signals other than ECG are misrecognized to be QRS and
accidental discharge may occur which is not synchronized with the
patient’s QRS wave.
Service Manual TEC-7600/7700 1.11
1. GENERAL
WARNING continued
• Do not perform synchronized cardioversion with the PADDLE lead
unless it is absolutely necessary. In synchronized cardioversion with
the PADDLE lead, artifact may be misrecognized as QRS and
accidental discharge may occur which is not synchronized with the
patient’s QRS wave.
• Never select “TEST” for the ECG lead. “TEST” is for maintenance and
the waveform displayed on the screen is not the patient’s ECG. If
synchronized cardioversion is performed with the TEST lead,
accidental discharge occurs which is not synchronized with the
patient’s QRS wave and it may cause ventricular fibrillation.
• For safe synchronized cardioversion, a defibrillator discharge must
occur within 60 ms of the peak of the ECG’s R wave. The TEC-7600
detects the peak of the R wave and effects the discharge within 25 ms
of the detected peak of R wave. When an external instrument is used to
provide the ECG signal, it must amplify the ECG signal from the
patient 500-1000 times and output the amplified ECG signal to the
TEC-7600 within 35 ms of the peak of the R wave so that the overall
delay from the peak of the R wave to discharge does not exceed 60
ms. If these conditions are not met, the cardioversion may be
ineffective or may cause ventricular fibrillation.
• The apex-posterior placement is not suitable for ECG monitoring or
AED analysis.
• The anterior-posterior placement is not suitable for defibrillation,
cardioversion, ECG monitoring or AED analysis. Use this placement
only for pacing.
CAUTION
When performing synchronized cardioversion, confirm that the SYNC
lamp is lit before every discharge. If “Sync mode after CV” is set to
Defib on the System Setup-Configuration screen, the defibrillator
automatically turns to the asynchronous defibrillation mode.
With External Paddles
WARNING
• Apply contact gel only to the electrode plates of the external paddles.
If contact gel gets on any other part of the defibrillator, it may cause
electrical shock to the operator.
• Do not apply contact gel by hand. Failure to follow this warning may
cause serious electrical burn, shock, or other injury.

paddles. Applying high energy to the heart may cause cardiac muscle
necrosis. Low energy is recommended.
• During charging and discharging, grip the internal paddles between
the guard at the top of the handle and the cable. If you grip the handle
between the electrode and the guard, you may get an electrical shock.
• Before discharging, confirm that the paddles are firmly positioned
against the heart. Failure to follow this warning causes serious skin
burn or poor energy discharge to the heart.
• Do not perform open discharge into the air. This may cause electrical
shock to the operator or damage the defibrillator.
CAUTION
• Do not twist the internal paddle holding the electrode part or give
strong impact to the paddle. It damages the electrode part.

1. GENERAL
Pacing
WARNING
• Do not perform pacing while using an ESU. Before using an ESU, turn
the defibrillator power off and remove disposable pads from the
patient. Otherwise, high frequency energy from the ESU causes
abnormal current to flow in the patient and causes serious electrical
burn, shock, or other injury. It also damages the defibrillator.
• Always monitor the ECG waveform with the ECG connection cable and
ECG electrodes.
• Confirm that there is no artifact on the ECG. If there is artifact on the
ECG, signals other than ECG are misrecognized to be QRS and
correct pacing cannot be performed.
• Do not touch the patient during pacing. Failure to follow this warning
may cause electrical shock.
• During pacing, do not touch the pads or connectors. Failure to follow
this warning causes electrical shock to the operator.
• The pacing rate must be determined by qualified medical personnel
based on the heart rate of the patient in a normal state.
• The pacing current must only be increased by qualified medical
personnel decision.
• Keep the current intensity as low as possible to minimize pain and
discomfort to the patient.
• Failure to follow the following warnings causes serious skin burn.
- Do not attach the pads over ECG electrode.
- Do not attach pads on the papilla or medicine on the patient’s
body.
- Fit the pad closely to the body surface so that current flows
uniformly through the pad. This reduces the required pacing
current and pain and discomfort to the patient.
• The apex-posterior placement is not suitable for ECG monitoring or
AED analysis.
• The anterior-posterior placement is not suitable for defibrillation,
cardioversion, ECG monitoring or AED analysis. Use this placement
only for pacing.
• Never select “TEST”. “TEST” is for maintenance and the waveform
displayed on the screen is not the patient’s ECG. Failure to follow this
warning causes accidental pacing which is not synchronized with the
patient’s QRS wave.
• Do not change the sensitivity or ECG lead setting after pacing is
started. If one of these settings is changed, the pacing stops for 3
seconds. Failure to follow this warning may cause serious heart
attack.
• For 300 ms after the pacing pulse is output, no signal can be detected
as a QRS wave.
1.16 Service Manual TEC-7600/7700
ECG Monitoring
1. GENERAL
CAUTION
• Check that the pacing pulse is effectively working by observing ECG
on the screen.
• When connecting the pad adaptor to the paddle connector, do not
bend or damage the connector pin. Otherwise energy cannot be
discharged to the pads.
• If the patient’s body is wet, thoroughly wipe the moisture off the skin
so that the pads do not short to each other.
WARNING
• When using a defibrillator together with the monitor, use Ag/AgCl
electrodes. Other types of electrodes, stainless steel in particular, will
adversely affect the ECG waveform by slowing the baseline recovery
on the monitor and result in no monitoring immediately following
defibrillation.
• False low heart rate indicators may occur with certain pacemakers
because of electrical overshoots.
• Keep pacemaker patients under close observation. The pacemaker
rate may be counted during cardiac arrest and certain arrhythmias. Do
not rely only on heart rate alarms and the displayed heart rate.
• The apex-posterior placement is not suitable for ECG monitoring or
AED analysis.
• The anterior-posterior placement is not suitable for defibrillation,
cardioversion, ECG monitoring or AED analysis. Use this placement
only for pacing.
• With the pacing pulse rejection ON, narrow width QRS of a premature
baby or infant cannot be detected correctly and the defibrillator may
miscount QRS. In this case, set the pacing pulse rejection to OFF.
• Turn the pacing pulse rejection to OFF when monitoring a child.
Otherwise child’s QRS may not be recognized.
CAUTION
• When the “Check ECG Electrodes” message is displayed, ECG cannot
be monitored and the ECG alarm does not function. Check the
electrode, ECG connection cable, electrode leads and connection
cable and if necessary, replace it with a new one.
• Turn the pacing pulse rejection to ON when monitoring a pacemaker
patient. Otherwise QRS and pacemaker spike may not be
distinguished and pacemaker failure may not be recognized.
