5 MAINTAINING THE HEARTSTART ONSITE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The OnSite is very simple to maintain. The OnSite performs a self-test every
day. In addition, a battery insertion self-test is run whenever a battery is installed
in the device. The OnSite’s extensive automatic self-test features eliminate the
need for any manual calibration. The OnSite has no user-serviceable parts.
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Do not open the OnSite, remove its
covers, or attempt repair. There are no user-serviceable components in the
OnSite. If repair is required, return the OnSite to Philips for service.
REMINDERS:
• Do not leave the OnSite without a pads cartridge installed; the OnSite will
start chirping and the i-button will start flashing. For directions on changing
the pads cartridge, see Chapter 2, “Setting up the HeartStart OnSite.”
• The OnSite runs daily self-tests. As long as the green Ready light is blinking,
it is not necessary to test the OnSite by initiating a battery insertion self-
test. This uses battery power and risks draining the battery prematurely.
PERIODIC CHECK S
Other than the checks recommended after each use of the OnSite, maintenance
is limited to periodically checking the following:
• Check the green Ready light. If the green Ready light is not blinking, see
Troubleshooting Tips, below.
• Replace any used, damaged or expired supplies and accessories
• Check the outside of the OnSite. If you see cracks or other signs of
damage, contact Philips for technical support.
Record each periodic check in your inspection log/maintenance booklet.
