Operational Checks
11-2 Maintaining the Heartstream XL
Operational Checks
The following operational checks are intended to quickly verify the viability
of the Heartstream XL. Perform these checks regularly, at the intervals speci-
fied, along with visual inspection of the device and all cables, controls, acces-
sories and supplies. Also regularly check expiration dates of all supplies, such
as multifunction defib electrode pads and monitoring electrodes.
Every Shift
Perform a "Shift/System Check" every shift (see “Using External Paddles” on
page 11-3) to verify that the Heartstream XL is functioning properly and to
ensure that necessary supplies and accessories are present and ready for use.
Every Month
Check expiration dates on multifunction defib electrode pads and monitoring
electrodes every month. Replace them if the expiration date has passed.
Every Three Months
Perform a "Battery Capacity Test" on each battery, every three months, to
ensure that your batteries meet the specifications for safe and effective use.
