PADDLE-ELECTRODE
The ZOLL PD 1400 will pace, defibrillate, cardiovert and monitor using either
OPTIONS
defibrillation paddles and NTP 2000 electrodes or using ZOLL Multi-function
electrodes (PD 2200).
Operation of the ZOLL PD 1400 is identical for both methods except that defibrilla-
tion (Energy Select, Charge, Discharge) and recorder onloff controls located on the
paddles are not available when using multi-function electrodes. The operator must
use the controls located on the PD 1400 front panel. To switch between paddles
and multi-function electrodes, the operator simply unplugs one cable and plugs in
another.
BATTERIES
The ZOLL PD 1400 uses spec~al medlcal grade, sealed, lead-ac~d batter~es
(PD 441 0) that, when fully charged, w ~ l l prov~de 2.5 hours mlnlmum
(3
5 hours
typ~cal) of mon~tor~ng. Use of the def~br~llator, pacemaker, and recorder wrll reduce
t h ~ s tlme. A "LOW BATTERY" message appears on the monltor and the unit w ~ l l
beep twlce In a row once a m~nute when the battery must be replaced. (See
battery spec~f~cat~ons
on page 10 for more ~nformat~on.)
BAlTERY
Battery charging and charge capacity evaluation is easily performed with the
CHARGER
ZOLL PD 4420 Battery Support System. Up to four batteries can be charged
simultaneously and testing is a simple one step operation. See the ZOLL Battery
Support Operator's Guide for more detailed information on the specifications, use
and management of ZOLL PD 1400 batteries.
INSTRUMENT
The computer contained within the ZOLL PD 1400 performs self-diagnostic tests
DIAGNOSTICS
on critical circuits when the instrument is initially turned on and periodically during
operation. The "READY" message that appears briefly on the monitor during
initial power-up verifies proper operation of these circuits. During operation,
an "STATUS XX" message will indicate if a problem has been detected. If this
occurs, contact authorized service personnel.
SERVICE
The ZOLL PD 1400 PacemakerIDefibrillator will provide trouble free operation
without periodic recalibration or adjustment. However, it is suggested that
appropriately trained and qualified personnel perform periodic routine tests of the
device to verify proper operation. (See Chapter 8 . )
