Automated Tests
The Efficia DFM100 performs many maintenance activities independently, including three tests that run
automatically at regularly scheduled intervals while the device is off to assess operational performance and
alert you if a problem exists. Results of tests associated with critical functionality of the device are
reported through the RFU indicator and the Automated Test Summary report. Results are also reported
through Technical Alarm messages on the display when the Efficia DFM100 is turned on. Tab le 5
provides a brief explanation of the tests and lists the frequency with which each test is performed.
NOTE: Automated tests do not test the therapy cables, paddles, buttons, audio, or the display.
