Warranty

For warranty information, refer to the AED Pro Operator’s Guide.

To maintain the warranty, strictly follow the instructions and procedures in this service manual. Unit failure that is attributable to the use of accessories that are not manufactured by ZOLL might void the ZOLL warranty.

Safety Considerations

Only qualified personnel should service or disassemble an AED Pro unit. Before using, servicing, or disassembling this device, read the AED Pro Operator’s Guide. Before servicing or disassembling any equipment, review these safety considerations and read this manual carefully.

WARNING! The AED Pro unit can generate as much as 2500 volts with sufficient current to cause

lethal shocks.

vi www.zoll.com 9650-0309-01 Rev. A

Before discharging the defibrillator, warn everyone to stand clear of the patient and equipment.

Never discharge the unit with the defibrillation pads shorted together or in open air.

Do not disassemble a battery pack or dispose of it in fire. Do not try to recharge a nonrechargeable battery pack. If mistreated, a battery pack might explode.

This device is protected against interference from radio frequency emissions typical of the two-way radios and cellular telephones used in emergency service or public safety activities. You should assess the device’s performance in your typical operating environment to determine the likelihood of radio frequency interference (RFI) from high-power sources.

Chapter 1

Maintenance Tests

This chapter describes the procedures for routine testing of the AED Pro® unit.

A test typically consists of multiple steps, each of which requires a pass/fail rating. For each step, perform the specified action and then verify that the expected results occur. If all expected results occur, assign a “Pass” rating to the step; otherwise, assign it a “Fail” rating.

This chapter includes the following inspection and test procedures:

• “1.0 Physical Inspection” on page 1-3

• “2.0 Preventive Maintenance Test” on page 1-4

• “5.0 Manual Self-Test” on page 1-10

9650-0309-01 Rev. A ZOLL AED Pro Service Manual 1–1

CHAPTER 1MAINTENANCE TESTS

Preparations for Testing

• Gather the required equipment listed in the next section.

• Perform all the steps within each test procedure in the order specified.

If testing results indicate that the battery pack must be replaced, you will need a fully charged spare battery pack.

Test Equipment

For some tests, you need one or more of these items:

• ZOLL defibrillation analyzer (universal) adapter cable (8000-0804-01)

• Fluke Impulse 4000 Defibrillator/Pacer Performance Analyzer (Fluke Biomedical/

DNI Nevada) with 1.06 software or higher

The following items are optional:

• ZOLL AED Pro Simulator —

When connected to an AED Pro unit, the simulator can send it various simulated cardiac rhythms (ventricular fibrillation, normal sinus rhythm, or asystole) and optional simulated chest compression readings (rate and depth), so that you can test the unit’s response.

• ZOLL Administration Software (ZAS) for Windows 2000, or XP Pro —

When installed on a personal computer that has an IrDA (wireless infrared) interface, the ZAS application can communicate with an AED Pro unit in nonrescue mode to retrieve its usage history, hardware and software configuration, and error log. You can also use ZAS to view or modify the unit’s configurable settings and to retrieve event data.

• ZOLL 3-lead ECG cable (8000-0838)

For ZOLL part numbers, refer to the accessories list in the AED Pro Operator’s Guide.

1–2 www.zoll.com 9650-0309-01 Rev. A

1.0 Physical Inspection

Use this procedure to ensure that the unit shows no signs of damage or excessive wear.

Tools Needed

None.

Test Setup

None.

Test Procedure

Observe the following: Pass Fail

Physical Inspection

1.1 Is the unit clean?

1.2 Are all signs of wear reasonable and not excessive?

1.3 Are the front panel and housing undamaged and free of cracks?

1.4 Are input connectors clean and undamaged?

1.5 Are electrodes preconnected, is the cable free from damage, are the pads

sealed within the packaging, and are the electrodes within the expiration date shown on the package?

1.6 Is the battery older than 18 months? When was the last time the battery was tested?

1.7 If you are using an AED Pro 3-lead ECG cable, is it free from cuts or other visible damage?

CHAPTER 1MAINTENANCE TESTS

2.0 Preventive Maintenance Test

Use this test to verify that the AED Pro unit is working properly and ready for use.

For an alternative test using the AED Pro simulator, refer to the AED Pro Operator’s Guide.

Note: To verify that the delivered energy for the first, second, and third shocks corresponds

to the unit’s preconfigured adult energy levels, use the ZOLL Administration Software (ZAS) to obtain the current configuration of the unit.

Tools Needed

• Fluke Impulse 4000 Defibrillator/Pacer Performance Analyzer or equivalent

• Defibrillation analyzer (universal) adapter cable

Test Setup

• Turn off the AED Pro unit and unplug the preconnected electrodes. Keep the electrodes so

they can be reconnected later.

• Connect the universal adapter cable to the AED Pro unit and to the analyzer.

• Turn on the analyzer and set its function to VF (ventricular fibrillation).

Variations in Messages

When verifying messages in the test results, please be aware of the following issues:

• The wording of some messages is configurable. The following table shows equivalent

messages.

Default Message Alternative Message

CHECK PATIENT CHECK RESPONSIVENESS

CHECK PULSE CHECK CIRCULATION

IF NO PULSE START CPR IF NO CIRCULATION START CPR

IF NO PULSE CONTINUE CPR IF NO CIRCULATION CONTINUE CPR

SHOCK ADVISED TREATMENT ADVISED

NO SHOCK ADVISED NO TREATMENT ADVISED

PRESS FLASHING SHOCK BUTTON PRESS FLASHING TREATMENT BUTTON

RELEASE SHOCK BUTTON RELEASE TREATMENT BUTTON

SHOCK DELIVERED TREATMENT DELIVERED

NO SHOCK DELIVERED NO TREATMENT DELIVERED

• The message that reports the detected electrode type can be either ADULT PADS,

PEDIATRIC PADS, or ECG CABLE.

• Some messages are issued only if the unit is configured to do so. If an optional message is

not issued during a test, do not consider this a failure.

• In some cases a text message on the display screen is abbreviated or otherwise differs

slightly from the associated voice message.

AED Pro Error Log Messages

The AED Pro unit records internal errors in an error log, which you can retrieve by using a Windows-based personal computer with ZOLL Administration Software (ZAS).

To retrieve the error log, follow these steps:

Step Action

1 Turn off the AED Pro unit.

2 Start the ZOLL Administration Software (ZAS) on the computer.

3 Position the AED Pro unit so that its IrDA port has a clear line-of-sight with the computer’s

IrDA port and the ports are about 10 to 18 inches (25 to 45 cm) apart.

4 Press and hold the unit’s On/Off button for at least 5 seconds to start the unit in nonrescue

mode.

5 After the unit issues the message COMMUNICATIONS ESTABLISHED, refer to the ZAS

help for instructions on saving the unit’s history file and viewing the included error log.

After saving the error log file on the computer, you can use ZAS to clear the error log on the AED Pro unit.
