on.

1. Have a sufficient number of battery packs and chargers.
Have a sufficient number of battery packs and chargers to insure that every ZOLL
resuscitation device has fully charged main and spare batteries ready at all times.
2. Assign someone to be responsible for the Battery Management Program.
Assign someone who can oversee all aspects of the Battery Management Program,
including the training of staff who use ZOLL's resuscitation devices.
