NBP Check
1 Perform a non-invasive blood pressure check on yourself or another person.
2 Make sure the measurement completes.
3 Perform the NBP module tests only if you suspect a problem with the module. See “NBP Module

Defibrillator Measurement Test
These instructions describe how to test the defibrillation functions. The test sequence causes the
HeartStart XL+ to:
• Charge and deliver a shock when powered by AC power alone.
• Charge and deliver a shock when powered by battery alone.
•Disarm when the Disarm soft key is pressed.
If all results are as described, the device passes that portion of the test. If there is any failure, troubleshoot
and repair the device as needed. See “Troubleshooting” on page 29.
