Automated Test Summary Results
Result Definition Required Action
Pass All tests passed. None
CF A critical failure was detected.
Critical failures impact lifesaving
functionality (defibrillation, pacing,
ECG acquisition). RFU displays a
solid red “X” and chirps.
NCF A non-critical failure was
detected. Non-critical failures do
not impact life-saving functions.
Respond to the RFU
indicator.
Turn the MRx to
Monitor and observe
the inop statement(s).

Ready For Use Indicator
Blinking Black Hourglass – shock, pacing, and
ECG are ready for use and sufficient battery power is
available.
Blinking Red X with a periodic chirp – low battery that is
X
X
not being charged.
Blinking Red X without a periodic chirp – low battery
that is being charged.
Solid Red X with a chirp – a failure has been detected
that prevents delivery of a shock, pacing, or ECG
acquisition.
Solid Red X without a chirp – No power or device failure.

Operational Check (cont.)
•
Tests are displayed as they
run.
•
Be sure to test all therapy
cables used.
•
Rerun the check if additional
ECG cables need to be tested.
•
Refer to the Instructions for Use
on actions to take for failed
tests.

Battery Maintenance
Activity When to Perform
Perform a visual inspection. As part of the Operational Check.
Charge the battery. Upon receipt, after use, or if the
message Batteries Low is displayed.
Perform a calibration. When the Operational Check test results
state Calibration recommended, or every
6 months.
Store batteries in a state of
charge in the range of 20% 30%.
Discard the battery. When there are visual signs of damage
When not in use for an extended period
of time
or calibration reports less than 70%
capacity.
Page 14
Charging Batteries
•
Charge in either the MRx or a Philips approved
battery support system.
•
When charging in the MRx, use either AC or DC
power.
•
The External Power indicator is lit when the MRx
is charging.
•
It takes approximately 2 hours to charge a fully
discharged battery to 80% of its capacity in the
MRx; 3 hours to 100%.
Page 15
Charge Status
Check the batteries charge by:
•
Pushing the battery fuel gauge button. Each LED
represents a charge of approximately 20%
capacity.
•
Turning the Therapy Knob to any mode of
operation and observing the battery power
indicators displayed in the General Status area.
Page 16
Battery Calibration
•
Checks to see if the battery is nearing its useful end of life
and should be discarded.
•
Ensures the fuel gauge is accurate, based on the total
capacity.
•
Performed by selecting Other from the Main menu, then
Battery Calibration.
•
Takes approximately 11 hours in the MRx, significantly
less in a battery a battery support system.
•
Discard the battery if the capacity is < 70%.
