9 DDU-2000 Series AED Accessories
This chapter describes the component parts and the accessories that can be used with the Defibtech DDU-2000 Series AED.
For contact information on obtaining replacement component parts and accessories, refer to
Chapter 14 in this manual.
9.1 Defibrillation Pads
The DDU-2000 Series AED must be used with Defibtech self-adhesive defibrillation pads for adults or with child/infant
pads for infants and children. These defibrillation pads serve two functions:
• Allow the unit to read the patient’s electrocardiograph (ECG) rhythm.
• Deliver defibrillation energy to the patient if needed.
The Defibtech self-adhesive defibrillation pad assembly comes in a “leads-out” sealed package that allows the
device to be stored with the pads connected to the AED. When the DDU-2000 Series AED is used, the operator
needs only to turn the device on, remove the pad package, tear open the package, remove the pads from the blue
liner, apply the pads to the patient, and administer care. The AED has a storage area in the back of the unit that
allows for storage of a single sealed adult pads package.
9.2 Battery Packs
The DDU-2000 Series AED uses a lithium battery pack to provide the AED with a long shelf and standby life. The
battery pack is inserted into the battery pack opening on the back of the AED and latches into place. Battery packs are
not rechargeable.
9.3 Data Cards
The DDU-2000 Series AED is designed to optionally use Defibtech Data Cards (DDC cards). The AED will operate
with or without a DDC card, but if a DDC card is installed, additional event storage capacity is available.
The DDU-2000 Series AED accepts DDC cards capable of recording an assortment of data for a given period of
time. The DDU-2000 Series allows the user to enable or disable recording of audio data. (Refer to the “
AED Options
Screen ” section in Chapter 8 of this manual.)
The DDC card is inserted into a slot behind the data card/USB port access door found on the side of the AED. (Refer
to the “
Installing The Defibtech Data Card (DDC card) ” section in Chapter 3 of this manual.) A new event file is
created on the DDC card each time the AED is turned on, and the following information is recorded:
• The time the AED was turned on.
• Other data such as: ECG data, time data, audio data (audio enabled card only), event milestones such as:
motion detection, shock advice, shock delivery information.
Multiple events may be recorded on a single DDC card. If the DDC card becomes full, the AED will stop recording to
the card, however, the most critical event documentation for the current session will still be recorded internally.
Internally recorded event information can be downloaded for external review by inserting a blank DDC card into the
unit and following the Data Download procedure. (Refer to the “
Downloading The Internal Data Log ” section in
Chapter 10 of this manual.)
CAUTION
Using non-Defibtech Data Cards (DDC cards)
may damage the unit and will void the warranty.
