7 Operating the PRIMEDIC™ DefiMonitor XD
7.1 Switching on / off
7.1.1 Switching the PRIMEDIC™ DefiMonitor XD on
The device is switched on by pressing the On / Off button. Directly after switching it on, an
internal self-test is carried out to check important functions and signal devices. If the self-test is
successful, the device is immediately ready for operation in the corresponding mode (manual
for the DefiMonitor XD1, XD3, XD10, XD30 or automatic for the PRIMEDIC™ DefiMonitor
XD100, XD110, XD300, XD330).
Standby is confirmed by a beep.
7.1.2 Switching the PRIMEDIC™ DefiMonitor XD off
The device can be switched off in different ways:
• By pressing the On / Off button for approximately 2 seconds. A continuous
warning beep will sound simultaneously.
• The device switches off automatically, if it does not detect any signal source for 10
minutes or no button is pressed.
• If the device detects a fault it will automatically switch off to avoid possible injuries.
7.2 Selecting the operating mode
7.2.1 Operating modes
Depending on the specific model, it is possible to select one of two operating modes:
• the AUTO mode (AED-Mode) and
• manual mode (MAN Mode)
7.2.2 Auto mode (AED mode)
In this operating mode, the device automatically analyses the cardiac rhythm.
If potentially fatal arrhythmia is detected, the device recommends defibrillation and generates
the necessary electric shock for reanimation when enabled by the user. No electric shock is
generated if the device does not detect an abnormal rhythm requiring defibrillation. The device
recommends cardio pulmonary resuscitation. For further information, see Chapter 9.
