Operational Check
Operational Checks supplement automated tests by verifying therapy cables, the ECG cable,
paddles, audio, charge and shock buttons, and the ability to deliver defibrillation and pacing therapy.
Operational Check also checks the SpO
2
, NBP and EtCO
2
modules and printer.
Operational Checks should be performed weekly to supplement the hourly, daily and weekly tests
the Efficia DFM100 performs automatically.
From Operational Check you can also print Automated Test and Operational Check results.
WARNING: When performing an Operational Check or Weekly Shock Test, confirm the Efficia DFM100 is not
connected to a patient.
NOTES: Do not run Operational Check with internal paddles attached. Perform a Weekly Shock Test to test
internal paddles.
To confirm the ECG cable used during an event is functioning properly, use that same cable during
Operational Check.
