Service Life
Life expectancies for the Efficia DFM100 therapy cable and external paddles are related to the
environment they are used in, their frequency of use and how they are cared for. Their service life is
up to three years. To maintain reliable performance and reduce the possibility of failure during
patient use, replace them every three years from the time they were initially placed into service or if
they fail inspection. Extra care must be taken when using the Efficia DFM100 in transport and
Emergency Medical Service (EMS) environments that place additional stress on the cable
connection and increase the chance for wear, impacting its useful life.
