Performing an Operational Check
Prior to performing an Operational Check:
If you use external paddles: Make sure the paddles are connected to the device, paddles and the
paddle tray are thoroughly clean and there is no debris or residue (including all conductive material)
on the electrode surfaces of the paddles and tray. Secure the paddles in the tray and confirm the
Patient Contact Indicator (PCI) LEDs are not lit. If the LEDs are lit, adjust the paddles in the tray.
If the LEDs remain lit, clean both the adult and infant/child paddle electrode surfaces.
If you use multifunction electrode pads: Make sure the pads therapy cable is plugged into the
defibrillator test plug or test load.
 To begin an Operational Check:
1 Confirm your device has a charged battery and an ECG cable connected (but not connected to
a patient or lead sets).
2 Turn the Therapy knob to Monitor.
3 Press the Smart Select knob.
4 Turn the Smart Select knob to highlight
 and press the Smart Select knob.
5 Select

appears.
7 Select
 if you wish to continue with an Operational Check. Select  to return to Monitor
Mode. Press the Smart Select knob to confirm your choice.
8 If you selected
, the Efficia DFM100 displays the Operational Check Screen and starts the
Operational Check automatically.
NOTE: If the Efficia DFM100 is not set up correctly, the display prompts you to make the required changes
for a successful Operational Check (see Figure 74). The Therapy knob must be set to 170J to begin
Operational Check. Once the check begins, set the knob back to 150J when prompted to do so.
Operational Check runs automatically. If you choose to proceed without setting up properly, the
Operational Check may fail.
