• Has a detectable pulse Operator Training Requirements In order to safely and effectively operate the DDU-2300 AED, a person shall have met the following requirements: • DDU-2300 AED and/or defibrillation training as required by local, state, provincial, or national regulations.
• Do not immerse battery pack in water or other liquids. Immersion in fluids may result in fire or explosion. • Do not let fluids get into the DDU-2300 AED. Avoid spilling fluids on the AED or its accessories. Spilling fluids into the DDU-2300 AED may damage it or cause a fire or shock hazard.
• If possible, disconnect the DDU-2300 AED from the patient prior to use of other defibrillators. • Do not connect the DDU-2300 to a PC or other device (using the USB port) while the unit’s electrodes are still connected to the patient.
Connecting The Pads The DDU-2300 AED defibrillation pads are supplied sealed in a package with the connector and part of the cable exposed. This allows the pads to be stored in a pre-connected state for rapid deployment during an emergency.
Installing The Defibtech Data Card (DDC card) (Optional) The Defibtech Data Card (“DDC card”) is used to store event and audio information collected by the AED. All DDU- 2300 AEDs will operate without DDC cards and will still store critical event information internally. DDC cards may be reviewed with a separate Defibtech PC-based software package.
Active Status Indicator (ASI) Once a fully functional battery pack is installed in the DDU-2300 AED, an LED indicator located to the right of the ON/OFF button actively indicates unit status. If the unit is ready for use, the Active Status Indicator (“ASI”) will flash green.
Completing The Installation Once you have completed the previous steps to set up your DDU-2300 AED, follow this procedure: 1. Turn the unit on by pressing the power ON/OFF button. 2. Listen for the “Call for Help” voice prompt.
Using The DDU-2300 AED In Rescue Mode This chapter describes how to use the DDU-2300 AED in rescue mode. The DDU-2300 AED was designed for simple operation, allowing the operator to focus on the patient. There are two primary control buttons and a display screen.
• Flashing Green: DDU-2300 AED is OFF and ready for use. • Solid Green: DDU-2300 AED is ON and ready for use. • Flashing or Solid Red: DDU-2300 AED needs immediate service. Refer to the “Troubleshooting” section in Chapter 5 of this manual or call Defibtech for service Active •...

Turning On The DDU-2300 AED Press the green ON/OFF button to turn the DDU-2300 AED on. The unit will emit a “beep” and the display screen will turn on. The ASI indicator next to the ON/OFF button will illuminate green anytime the AED is on. (To turn the unit off, press AND HOLD the ON/OFF button for approximately two seconds;...
Page 18
Applying Pads To The Patient Apply pads correctly to patient. Follow AED voice and text prompts. Correct pad placement is essential for effective analysis of the patient’s cardiac rhythm and subsequent shock delivery (if required). Remove the pads from the pads package by tearing the package along the dotted line near the top of the package. Follow the directions and diagram showing proper defibrillation pad placement located on the defibrillation pads package and on the pads.
Follow DDU-2300 AED Instructions At this point, the DDU-2300 AED will check to make sure that the pads are well connected to the patient and that an adequate ECG signal is being received. Do not touch the patient. Eliminate any patient movement, and cease CPR at this time.
Call For Help Purpose: As soon as the DDU-2300 is turned on, the user will be prompted to “call for help.” This indicates that the first step in a rescue should always be to contact professional emergency services. If another person is available, the user should direct that person to call for help and then continue the rescue without delay.
Page 21
Apply Pads to Patient Purpose: The DDU-2300 AED has determined that the pads are not placed on the patient or not properly applied. Place pads on the patient following instructions on the pads package. If the prompts continue, try replacing the pads with a new set.
Page 22
“No shock advised” No Shock Advised Purpose: The DDU-2300 AED has determined that a shock is not required. The unit will NOT charge and the SHOCK button will NOT be enabled. The user will be prompted to begin CPR. “Shock advised”...
Page 23
Purpose: After shock is advised, the DDU-2300 AED will prompt user to press the flashing shock button. If after 30 seconds the shock button is not pressed, the DDU-2300 AED will give this prompt and immediately go to CPR mode.
Operational Environment The Defibtech AED is designed to operate in a wide range of environmental conditions. To ensure the reliability and safety of the AED in a given environment, refer to the “Environmental” section in Chapter 9 of this manual for a detailed list of approved environmental conditions.
(Refer to the “Contacts” section in Chapter 12 of this manual.) If the ASI is flashing red, turn the DDU-2300 AED on. If the unit does not turn on or does not speak, the AED is non- operational and requires servicing. If the unit does turn on, then turn the unit off and the voice prompts will indicate the nature of the problem.

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-2300 AED defibrillation pads are supplied in a sealed pouch with the connector and part of the cable exposed.
Page 28
Checking The DDC Card, If One Is Installed Each time the DDU-2300 AED is used, an event file is created on the DDC card (if installed). If the unit was used to treat a patient, the DDC card in the unit should be removed and provided to the patient’s care provider. A new DDC card should be installed before the next use.
Manual Self-Tests Manually initiated self-tests may be run at any time by the user to test the DDU-2300 AED’s systems, including the charging and shocking functions (the shock is internally dissipated; i.e., no voltage will be present at the pads).
The following checklist may be used as the basis for an Operator’s Checklist. The table should be copied and filled out as recommend by the schedule in the “Routine Maintenance” section of this chapter. As each item is completed it should be checked off. Defibtech DDU-2300 Operator’s Checklist Defibtech Serial Number: DDU-2300 ___________________________________________________...
Troubleshooting The following table lists the symptoms, the possible causes, and the possible corrective actions for common problems. Refer to the other sections of the user manual for detailed explanations on how to implement the corrective actions. If the unit continues to be non-functional, refer the unit for servicing. (Refer to Chapter 12 of this manual for contact information.)
“ Pads missing” prompt Pads not connected to unit correctly and fully inserted into unit Repair The DDU-2300 AED contains no user serviceable parts. If the unit needs servicing, call Defibtech. (Refer to Chapter 12 of this manual for contact information.) DAC-2513EN-AB...
Maintenance Mode Overview Maintenance Mode for the Defibtech DDU-2300 permits the user to perform maintenance-related actions such as viewing unit information, initiating unit self-tests, changing unit parameters, downloading rescue data, and upgrading software. Maintenance Mode is navigated through a series of screens, menus, and menu options. In Maintenance Mode, the softkey buttons located directly to the right of the display screen are used to scroll through and select menu options.
Entering Maintenance Mode Before You Begin: Make certain the DDU-2300 is turned off and a battery pack is installed. STEP 1 – Press and release the CENTER softkey button. Result – The unit will turn on and display the AED Status Screen for short period of time.
The Upgrade AED menu selection is a method of performing a unit upgrade and will activate the system upgrade procedure from a Defibtech Data Card (DDC card) containing an upgrade application. Note: Upgrades can also be performed directly from the AED Status Screen if an upgrade card is present when the AED Status Screen mode is launched.
