Defibtech DDU-2450 Series User Manual - Manual (Page 34)

Checking The Condition Of The Unit And Accessories
Inspect the unit for dirt and contamination, especially in the pads connector socket and around the battery pack
opening. (Refer to the “
Cleaning ” section in this chapter of this manual for guidance on cleaning your AED.)
Inspect the unit display screen for damage. Look for cracks or other signs of damage on the case, especially near
the connector socket.
If any cracks or other signs of damage are visible, remove the AED from service and contact an authorized
service center.
Replacing Pads
The Defibtech defibrillation pads are intended for one time use only. The pads must be replaced after each use or if
the package has been damaged.
The DDU-2000 Series AED defibrillation pads are supplied in a sealed pouch with the connector and part of the cable
exposed. The DDU-2000 Series AED is designed to be stored with the electrode cable already installed. This allows
the pads to be stored in a pre-connected state for rapid deployment during an emergency.
DO NOT remove the defibrillation pads from the sealed
package until the pads are to be used. The packaging
should be opened only immediately prior to use, otherwise
the pads may dry out and become non-functional.
STEP 1: Inspect The Pads – First, check to ensure that the pads package has not expired. Do not use pads past
their expiration date. Discard expired pads. Next, check to ensure that the pads package has not been torn,
opened, or damaged. Dispose of the pads if the package is open or damaged. Inspect the pads cable and replace
pads if any nicks, cuts, or broken cables are found.
STEP 2: Connect The Pads To The Unit – Insert the connector end of the defibrillation pad cable into the pads
connector socket on the top-left corner of the DDU-2000 Series AED as shown. Press the pads connector in firmly
until it is fully seated in the unit.
STEP 3: Store The Pads In Back Of Unit – The pads package can then be stored in the pad storage slot in the back
of the DDU-2000 Series AED. After connecting the pads connector to the unit, push the pads package, rounded
end first, with the pictures on the package facing up and out, into the pad holder compartment on the back of the
AED. When the pads package is fully inserted, press the pad cable into the groove in the back of the unit to hold
it in place and tuck any excess cable behind the pads package.
The defibrillation pads are intended for one-time use only
and must be discarded after use or if the package has
been opened.
