2. Obtain a new set of defibrillation pads (verify that the expiration

Defibrillator” on page 9 for more information.
3. Run a manual self test by pressing and holding the defibrillator’s
On/Off button for at least 5 seconds.
4. Press the On/Off button to power off the unit.
5. Place the defibrillator back into service so that it is ready for use.
Cleaning the ZOLL AED 3 Defibrillator
After each use, clean and disinfect the defibrillator with a soft, damp
cloth using either 90% isopropyl alcohol, or soap and water. You can also
use a chlorine bleach and water mixture (30 ml/liter water) to clean the
defibrillator (except on the contacts and connectors).
NOTE Wipe down the defibrillator with water after using any cleaning
solution. Chlorine residue that remains on the LCD screen may
damage it.
DO NOT:
• Immerse any part of the defibrillator in water.
• Use chlorine mixture on contacts or connectors; this will degrade
the contacts over time.
• Use ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.) to clean the defibrillator.
• Use abrasives (e.g., paper towel) on the display window or graphic
screen.
• Sterilize the defibrillator.
