Key tips
- ·Never skip the daily/shift ready-check - a defibrillator found dead during a code is a real, repeated root-cause finding.
- ·Pads and batteries have real expiration dates - check them on every PM, not just at annual service.
- ·Verify energy-delivery accuracy with a real defibrillator analyzer, not just a self-test pass.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Fails the self-test / status indicator shows service
HighSymptoms: The visible readiness indicator shows a red X / "O-" / "CALL SERVICE", or the unit chirps.
Root cause: Battery low / expired, expired electrode pads, or an internal electronics / capacitor fault flagged by the periodic self-test.
Battery depleted / expired
HighSymptoms: Low-battery indication, will not complete a self-test, will not deliver.
Root cause: Installed batteries at end of life / past the install-by date.
Electrode pads expired or open
MediumSymptoms: Pad / connector fault message, or pads past the expiry date.
Root cause: Expired or dried single-use pads, or a pads-cartridge / connector fault.
Defibrillation energy delivery fault
HighSymptoms: Will not charge or deliver, delivered energy fails the AED analyser test.
Root cause: HV charging circuit or capacitor fault.
Voice / display prompt fault
MediumSymptoms: No or garbled voice prompts, blank display.
Root cause: Speaker / audio or display fault.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Daily/shift visual and self-test check (AAMI EQ56 daily-ready standard)
- ·Battery and pad expiration-date tracking
- ·Energy-delivery accuracy test against a defibrillator analyzer
- ·Paddle/cable continuity check
- ·Annual full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Self-test fails / service indicator
- Check the readiness indicator and any error tone / code.
- Install a fresh, in-date battery and run a manual self-test.
- Fit fresh, in-date electrode pads.
- Verify defib energy delivery with an AED analyser if the self-test passes but delivery is doubted.
- If the self-test still fails with good battery and pads, remove from service and refer to the manufacturer.
Symptom: Battery / pad expiry
- Replace batteries at or before the install-by date.
- Replace pads at or before the expiry date.
- Run a manual self-test after replacement.
- Log the new expiry dates.
- Return the unit to its cabinet / kit ready for use.
