Test the Charge/Shock Functions
1 Charge and deliver a 200 J shock:
a Turn the Efficia DFM100’s Therapy Knob to 200 J.
b Press the Charge button to charge the Efficia DFM100.
c Press the Shock button to deliver the shock to the defibrillator analyzer.
d If the device is not configured to print on the Charge command, press the Print button.
2 Check the analyzer readings.
The delivered energy should be 200 J +
30 J.
3 Check the printed strip from the Efficia DFM100.
The selected energy should be 200 J. The delivered energy should be 200 J +
30 J and will be
printed on the strip if the device is configured to print on shock.
4 Repeat the test using paddles, pressing the Shock button on the paddles in Step 1c.
Defibrillator Test (Battery Power at 200 J)
These instructions describe how to test the defibrillation function when powered only by a battery with
no AC power connected.
Setup
1 Configure the defibrillator analyzer for a 50-ohm load.
2 Insert a sufficiently charged battery (at least two LEDs light up) and disconnect the AC power cord.
3 Connect the Pads cable to the Efficia DFM100.
4 Connect the defibrillator analyzer to the Pads cable.
5 Set the analyzer to measure delivered energy.
Test the Charge/Shock Functions
1 Charge and deliver a 200 J shock.
a Turn the defibrillator/monitor’s Therapy Knob to 200 J.
b Press the Charge button to charge the Efficia DFM100.
c Press the Shock button to deliver the shock to the defibrillator analyzer.
d If the device is not configured to print on the Charge command, press the Print button.
2 Check the analyzer readings.
The delivered energy should be 200 J ± 10%.
3 Check the printed strip from the Efficia DFM100.
The energy setting should be 200 J. The delivered energy should be 200 J +
10% and will be printed
on the strip if the device is configured to print on shock.
4 Repeat the test using paddles, pressing the Shock button on the paddles in Step 1c.
