LIFEPAK 20/20e Defibrillator/Monitor Troubleshooting
Device User Test
When you turn on the device, a series of self-tests occur. If errors are detected,
the service indicator LED illuminates. Self-testing does not occur only at
power-on; it is continuous while the device is turned on.
Pressing the
OPTIONS button and selecting USER TEST does not initiate a
self-test cycle; rather, it monitors self-test status and produces reports. The
device waits until the next self-test cycle is complete and then reports
USER TEST
PASSES.
One operation is specific to the
OPTIONS/USER TEST feature. This operation
consists of one cycle of charging the defibrillator capacitor to 10 joules and then
dumping the charge. If this operation does not pass, the service indicator LED
illuminates and an error is written to the Service Log (refer to Processing
Service Codes).
