The DDU-2000 Series AED is designed to be very low maintenance. Simple maintenance tasks
are recommended to be performed regularly to ensure its readiness (see sample maintenance
table below). Different maintenance intervals may be appropriate depending on the environ-
ment where the AED is deployed, and ultimately the maintenance program is at the discretion
of the emergency response program's medical director.
