5. Unless your protocol requires that the battery remain installed, remove the
battery for five seconds, then reinstall it to run the battery insertion self-
test to check the operation of the OnSite.
*
When the test is complete,
check that the green Ready light is blinking.
6. The OnSite will automatically run a self-test when the battery is inserted.
Press the Shock button when instructed. Be sure to let the self-test run all
the way to completion. When the self-test is over, the OnSite will report
the result, and tell you to push the green On/Off button in case of an
emergency. (Do not push the green button unless this is an actual emergency.)
Then the OnSite will turn off and go to standby mode. The green Ready
light will be blinking to show the OnSite is ready for use.
†
NOTE: Always store the OnSite with a pads cartridge and a battery installed,
so it will be ready to use and can perform daily self-tests.
7. Return the OnSite to its storage location so it will be ready for use when
needed. Place the updated inspection log/maintenance booklet on the
defibrillator wall mount or cabinet.
* If you leave the battery in the HeartStart after using the defibrillator, then transfer
the last-use data to a computer running HeartStart Event Review software, the
software will calculate the local date and time of the device use. However, if you
remove the battery prior to transferring the data, the software will only show
elapsed time.
† As long as a battery is installed, turning the OnSite “off” puts it into standby mode,
which means that it is ready for use.
