Malfunction Possible cause Measure
No shock is triggered
in spite of pressing the
shock buttons on the
shock paddles.
The shock buttons were
pressed too briefly.
 Release shock again.
 Hold the shock buttons down for at least
1 second in manual defibrillation mode.
The shock paddles are
faulty.
 Replace the shock paddles, use
corPatch electrodes in the meantime
 Contact sales and service partners.
Charging the
defibrillator takes too
long.
The battery state of charge
is low.
 Connect the defibrillator to an external
power supply if possible.
 Connect the defibrillator with the other
modules to be able to access their energy
reserve.
Charging the
defibrillator is not
possible.
The surrounding tempera-
ture is to low (< -10 °C) and
the conditions “battery
charge > 70%” and
“operation as compact
device” are not met.
 Keep the device sufficiently charged.
 At low temperatures, use the therapeutic
functions only when operated as compact
device.
It is not possible to
trigger the shock via
corPatch clip
electrodes.
The corPatch clip
electrodes are not properly
connected.
Check the cable and plug interfaces.

Malfunction Possible cause Measure
Pacing via corPatch
clip electrodes is not
possible.
The corPatch clip elec-
trodes are not correctly
connected.
Check the cable and plug interfaces.

Malfunction Possible cause Measure
The ECG recorded via
the ECG electrodes is
of poor quality.
The ECG electrodes used
have passed the expiry
date.
Only use ECG electrodes whose expiry
date printed on the packaging has not
passed.
ECG electrodes from
different manufacturers are
used.
Only use ECG electrodes from the same
manufacturer.
The ECG electrodes are
dried out.
 Do not use ECG electrodes stored
outside the packaging for a prolonged
period or with the packaging open.
 Do not use ECG electrodes exposed to
the sun or excessive ambient
temperatures for a prolonged period.
 Please read and follow the instructions for
storage on the electrode packaging.
