Defibrillation and AED operating power is supplied with a replaceable (non-rechargeable) battery pack that provides for long standby life and low maintenance operation. Each battery pack is marked with an expiration date. The DDU-2000 Series AED records event documentation internally and, optionally, on a Defibtech Data Card (DDC). The optional DDC card inserts into a slot in the AED and enables the AED to record event documentation and, optionally, audio data onto the card.

1.3 Usage Indications The DDU-2000 Series Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is indicated for use on victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) who are: • Unconscious and unresponsive • Not breathing or not breathing normally For patients under 8 years old, or weighing less than 55 lbs (25 kg), use child/infant defibrillation pads, if available. Do not delay therapy to determine exact age or weight.
Dangers, Warnings, And Cautions This chapter includes a list of danger, warning, and caution messages that relate to the Defibtech DDU-2000 Series AED and its accessories. Many of these messages are repeated elsewhere in this User Manual and on the DDU-2000 Series AED or accessories.
WARNINGS (continued) • Avoid contact between parts of the patient’s body and conductive fluids such as water, gel, blood or saline, and metal objects, which may provide unwanted pathways for defibrillating current. • Disconnect all non-defibrillator proof equipment from the patient before defibrillation to prevent electrical shock hazard and potential damage to that equipment.
Setting Up The DDU-2000 Series AED This chapter describes the steps required to make your Defibtech DDU-2000 Series AED operational. The DDU-2000 Series AED is designed to be stored in a “ready” state.

3.2 Connecting The Defibrillation Pads The DDU-2000 Series AED defibrillation pads are supplied sealed in a package with the connector and part of the cable exposed. DO NOT open the sealed pads 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.
3.4 Checking The DDU-2000 Series AED Status Active Status Indicator (ASI) Once a fully functional battery pack is installed in the DDU-2000 Series 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.
3.5 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-2000 Series AEDs will operate without DDC cards and will still store select event information internally. Information stored on the DDC card is retrievable with a separate Defibtech PC-based software package.
Using The DDU-2000 Series In AED Mode This chapter describes how to use the DDU-2000 Series in AED Mode. In AED Mode, the unit analyzes the patient’s rhythm and automatically charges if a shockable rhythm is detected. Push-button controls include an ON/OFF button, three softkey buttons, and a SHOCK button.

Applying The Defibrillation Pads To The Patient Follow this procedure to apply the defibrillation pads to the patient: 1. Tear the defibrillation pads package along the dotted line near the top of the package. 2. Remove the pads from the package and follow the directions and diagram showing proper pad placement located on the pads package.
Follow DDU-2000 Series AED Instructions At this point, the DDU-2000 Series 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. If there is a problem with the pad connection, socket connection, patient motion, or other interference, the AED will guide the operator with both audible and displayed instructions.
4.6 Post-Use Procedures After the DDU-2000 Series AED has been used on a patient, the unit should be cleaned following procedures in the “Cleaning” section in Chapter 6 of this manual and prepared for the next use. The following steps should be performed: 1.
