READY FOR USE
INDICATOR
The Ready For Use (RFU) indicator is located on the upper, right corner of the
device. It indicates the status of the therapy delivery functions of the monitor/
defibrillator using the following definitions:
A blinking black hourglass symbol indicates the shock, pacing, and ECG
functions of the device are ready for use. Sufficient battery power is available
for device operation.
A blinking red “X” and a periodic audio chirp indicate no battery is present
or a low battery condition. If a battery is inserted and charging, the audio chirp is
not present.
A solid red “X” and a periodic audio chirp indicate a failure has been
detected that may prevent the delivery of a shock, pacing, or ECG
acquisition. An error message will display at power-on.
A solid red “X” without periodic audio chirps indicates either there is no
power available, or a device failure has occurred. If, after power is
supplied, the indicator reverts to the blinking black hourglass symbol, the device
is once again ready for use.

Applying the Sensor
Follow the manufacturer's directions for applying and using the sensor, making
sure to observe any warnings and cautions. For best results:
Make sure the sensor is dry.
If the patient is moving, secure
the sensor cable loosely to the patient.
Make sure the transducer is not too tight.
Keep power cables away from the sensor
cable and connections.
Avoid placing the sensor in an environment
with bright lights. If necessary,
cover the sensor with opaque material.
Avoid placing the sensor on an extremity
with poor perfusion.

WEEKLY SHOCK TEST
How to perform the Weekly Shock Test
Test each type of patient therapy cable used (multifunction electrode pads
or paddles).
If you are using paddles, make sure the paddles are secure in their pockets
and that the Patient Contact Indicator (PCI) LEDs located on the sternum
paddles are not lit. If the LEDs light, adjust the paddles in their pockets.
If the LEDs continue to light, clean both adult and pediatric paddle electrode
surfaces.
If you are using multifunction electrode pads, attach a test load to the end
of the patient Therapy Cable.
1. Turn the Therapy Knob to 150J
2. Press the Charge Button.
NOTE: If it becomes necessary to disarm the defibrillator,
press [DISARM]
3. If using:
- Pads, press the Shock button on the HeartStart MRx to deliver a
shock into the test load.
- External paddles, simultaneously press the shock buttons located
on the paddles to deliver a shock into the test load.
4. The strip prints immediately if configured to do so. If the strip does not
print immediately, press the Print button.
5. Confirm on the printed strip that the energy delivered to the test load is
150J +/- 23J (127J to 173J). If not, take the device out of use and call for
service.
