“Peel pads from blue liner” Peel Pads
Purpose: This instructs the user to peel each pad from the blue liner before placing the pads on the patient. Peel
the pads from the blue liner only when the pad is ready to be placed. Place the pads with the sticky side of the pad
on the patient’s bare skin.
“Apply pads to patient’s bare chest as shown”
Apply Pads to Patient

applied. Place pads on the patient following instructions on the pads package. If the prompts continue, try
replacing the pads with a new set.
“Poor pad contact to patient”
“Press pads firmly”
Poor Pad Contact
Press Pads Firmly
Purpose: The pads are not making proper contact with the patient and the impedance is out of range for proper
ECG analysis and shock delivery. Check that the pads are properly placed and fully adhering to the patient and
that there are no air bubbles between the pads and the patient. If the pads are not sticking due to moisture, dry
the patient. If the pads are not sticking due to excessive hair, shave or clip excessive chest hair. If the prompts
continue, try replacing the pads with a new set.
“Check pads”
Check Pads
Purpose: The pads are making improper contact with the patient or touching each other and the impedance is out of
range for proper ECG analysis and shock delivery. Check that the pads are not touching each other and that the patient
is dry. If the prompts continue, try replacing the pads with a new set.
“Pausing for CPR”
Pausing for CPR
Purpose: If too long a period of time has passed, the user should stop attempting to resolve problems with the
pads and assess the condition of the patient. The user will be prompted to begin CPR.
“Replace pads”
Replace Pads
Purpose: The pads are making improper contact with the patient or touching each other and the impedance is
out of range for proper ECG analysis and shock delivery. If another set of pads is available, replace the pads,
otherwise check that the pads are properly placed and fully adhering to the patient. Make sure that the pads are
not touching each other. If the pads are not sticking due to moisture, dry the patient. If the pads are not sticking
due to excessive hair, shave or clip excessive chest hair. If the prompts continue, try replacing the pads with a
new set.
Motion/Interference Prompts
Voice Text
“Stop motion” Stop Motion
Purpose: The DDU-2000 Series AED has detected possible motion in the patient. Stop all patient motion, including
CPR, in response to this prompt.
“Stop interference”
Stop Interference
Purpose: The DDU-2000 Series AED has detected interference on the ECG signal. Eliminate any radio or electrical
sources of interference. Check the pads to make sure they are adhering properly to the patient. If the environment
is very dry, minimize movement around the patient to reduce static discharges.
“Pausing for CPR”
Pausing for CPR
Purpose: The user should stop attempting to resolve motion and/or interference problems and assess the condition
of the patient. The user will be prompted to begin CPR.
