iPAD AED Inspection Guide
It is crucial to ensure that the iPAD AED is functioning properly, as it is a vital life-saving device.
The iPAD AED includes several features designed to help you verify that the defibrillator remains in optimal working condition.
Inspecting the defibrillator is simple, and the following guide outlines what to check for.
The iPAD AED has self-testing capability. The device performs a self-test as soon as the battery is inserted, turns itself off when the test is done, and periodically wakes up to perform the daily, weekly, and monthly self-tests. To initiate a battery insertion self-test, remove the battery pack and reinsert.
If the device fails to perform any self-test during use and is unable to defibrillate, it will instruct the you to replace the device and start the voice instruction for CPR. In order to check the error, turn the device off by pressing the Power Button. If you press and hold the i-button, the voice will direct you to press the blinking red i-Button. You can verify the cause of the error via the voice instruction by pressing the i-Button.
When the device is in storage, check the battery level indicator and the pads status on the Status LCD daily to ensure that the device is always ready for an emergency. Replace the battery pack or the defibrillator pads when it is depleted or when they go beyond their expiration date, respectively.
1) Replacement of the Disposable Battery Pack
- Replace the battery pack when it becomes depleted.
- Dispose of depleted battery packs in accordance with local environmental regulations.
- Use only the battery packs recommended and provided by the manufacturer. Using battery packs not recommended and provided by the manufacturer will result in abnormal operation.
- The battery insertion test consumes battery power and will shorten battery life if done more frequently than necessary.
2) Replacement of the Disposable pads
- Check the pads status on the Status LCD daily or check the expiration date of the pads. Used or expired pads should be replaced.
- Check the pads package for damage.
- Check the cable outside the packaging pouch for possible defects.
- Only pads provided by the manufacturer should be used with the iPAD AED.
The device informs you of its current status or of problems via status indicators, beeps, and/or voice prompt. Refer to the following for details:
