LIFEPAK 9 defibrillator/monitor
TCP-Charge Time 1. Make sure the paddles are securely stored in the paddle storage area of
the defibrillator.
2. Press Y ENERGY SELECTA to set the selected energy to 360].
3. Simultaneously start the timer and press CHARGE.
4. Stop the timer when the defibrillator reaches full charge. Confirm that
the time required to reach full charge is less than 10 seconds.
5. Simultaneously press both paddle discharge pushbuttons to transfer the
energy into the test load.
TCP-Output 1. Place the paddles on the energy meter electrodes. Place the APEX
Waveform paddle on the right electrode of the energy meter so that the pulse
polarity is positive.
2. Connect the storage oscilloscope to the energy meter signal output.
3. Set up the oscilloscope for the “single shot” acquisition mode for the
pulse waveform capture. Refer to the Operating Instructions for the
oscilloscope for assistance. For waveform parameter measurement,
place both the left and right measurement markers at both the 50% and
10% levels.
4. Press V ENERGY SELECT À to select 360].
5. Press CHARGE.
6. After the defibrillator reaches full charge, simultaneously press the
paddle discharge pushbuttons to transfer the energy into the energy
meter.
7. Inspect the waveform displayed on the oscilloscope and confirm that the
waveform meets the specifications listed below and illustrated in
Figure 3-10.
Peak current = 46A to 64A peak
Time above 50% = 2.10ms to 4.20ms
Time above 10% = 3.10ms to 9.20ms
