Device Self Test
When you turn on the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator, a series of self-tests occur. If errors are detected, the Service LED (p. 143)
illuminates. Self-testing does not occur only when the device is turned ON; rather, it is continuous, repeating over and over again
while the device is on.
Device Auto Test
The device performs an automatic self-test daily at 03:00 (3:00 A.M.), if not in use. During the automatic self-test, the defibrillator
turns itself on (ON LED illuminates) briefly and completes the following tasks:
• Performs a self-test
• Stores the self-test results in the test log and prints report
• Turns itself off
The V2 device can also automatically transmit self-test results. LIFENET asset management is required to view transmitted auto
test data. For information about enabling transmission of test results, see the LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillator Setup Options
guide provided with the V2 device.
If the defibrillator detects a problem during an auto test, it annotates the fault condition on the printed test report.
The automatic self-test is not performed if the defibrillator is already turned on at 03:00 or if batteries are not installed. If the
defibrillator is manually turned on while a self-test is in progress, the self-test is halted and the defibrillator turns on normally.
