This chapter includes a list of danger, warning, and caution messages that relate to the Defibtech DDU-100 AED and its accessories. Many of these messages are repeated elsewhere in this User Manual and on the DDU-100 AED or accessories. The entire list is presented here for convenience.
The DDU-100 AED has not been evaluated or approved for use in hazardous locations as defined in the National Electric Code standard. In compliance with IEC classification the DDU-100 AED is not to be used in the presence of DA N G E R flammable substance/air mixtures.
Improper use can cause injury. Use the DDU-100 AED only as instructed in the User Manual. The DDU-100 AED delivers electrical energy that can potentially cause death or injury if it is used or discharged improperly. Do not discharge WA RN I N G with defibrillation pads touching or gel surface exposed.
Do not place adult defibrillation pads in the anterior-posterior (front-back) position. A shock or no shock decision may be inappropriately advised. The DDU-100 AED requires that the adult defibrillation pads be placed in the WA RN I N G anterior-anterior (front-front) position.
Improper maintenance can cause the DDU-100 AED not to function. Maintain the DDU-100 AED only as described in this User Manual. The AED contains CAU T I O N no user serviceable parts – do not take the unit apart.
This chapter describes the steps required to make your Defibtech DDU-100 AED operational. The DDU-100 AED is designed to be stored in a “ready” state. This chapter tells you how to make the device ready, so that if and when you need it, few steps are required to begin using the device.
3.2 Installing the Data Card The Defibtech Data Card (“DDC”) is used to store event and audio information collected by the AED. All DDU-100 AEDs will operate without DDCs and will still store critical event information internally. Different DDC versions store different amounts of information. DDCs are available in versions that store and don’t store audio information.
If the indicator does not flash, either the battery pack is defective or the 9V battery is discharged. Once the battery pack is installed into the unit, the DDU-100 AED’s Active Status Indicator should flash green every five seconds.
Insert the connector end of the defibrillation pad cable into the pads connector port on the top-left corner of the DDU-100 AED as shown. Insert pads connector firmly until it is fully seated in the unit. The connected pad package can then be stored in the pad storage slot in the back of the DDU-100 AED.
The Active Status Indicator should periodically blink with a green light. If it blinks with a red light or does not blink at all, the DDU-100 AED needs servicing – refer to the “Checking Active Status Indicator” section for more information.
(LED) indicators. Concise and easily understandable voice messages and prompts guide the operator through the use of the unit. The following sections describe in detail how to use the DDU-100 AED. The basic steps for use are: • Turn the DDU-100 AED ON by pressing the ON/OFF button.
4.3 Turning on the DDU-100 AED Press the ON/OFF button to turn the DDU-100 AED on. The unit will emit a “beep” and all the LEDs will light up temporarily. The ON/OFF button will illuminate green anytime the AED is on.
If any of these conditions is found, use a new set of pads. 4.4.4 Connecting Defibrillation Pads to the DDU-100 AED The DDU-100 AED is designed to be stored with the defibrillation pad connector attached to the unit, while the pads themselves remain sealed in their package.
If not needed for immediate use, the pad package can then be stored in the pad storage slot in the back of the DDU-100 AED. After connecting the pads connector to the unit, push the pad package, with the pictures on the package facing up and out, rounded end first, into the pad holder compartment on the back of the AED.
4.4.6 Follow DDU-100 AED Prompts At this point, the DDU-100 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.
Motion/Interference related voice prompts: “Stop motion” – This indicates that the DDU-100 AED has detected motion in the patient. Stop all patient motion, including CPR, in response to this message. If the patient is being transported, stop the vehicle to stop the motion.
The “analyzing” LED will flash green during this period. “Do not touch the patient” – This indicates that the DDU-100 AED is trying to analyze the patient’s heart rhythm and that the operator should not touch the patient. This message will be spoken at the beginning of the analysis period and also if motion or interference has been detected.
Page 32
CPR, if needed, for a period of two minutes. “Stand clear” – This indicates that the DDU-100 AED is charging and that the operator and others should stand clear of the patient. Analysis will continue during this phase and the “analyzing” LED will continue to flash green.
At the end of the two-minute period, the unit will enter normal Analyzing mode. No Shock Required Voice Prompts: “It is safe to touch the patient” – This indicates that the DDU-100 AED analysis algorithm has determined that no shock is required. The unit will not charge and the SHOCK button will not be enabled.
If the AED has delivered a shock, the unit will require a mandatory two-minute CPR period. DDU-100 No patient ECG rhythm monitoring will be done during this period. Once the two-minute period is complete, the AED will continue in Analyzing mode.
4.9 Post Use Procedures After the DDU-100 AED has been used on a patient, the unit should be cleaned following procedures in the “Cleaning” section and prepared for the next use. The following steps should be performed: • Remove battery pack.
9V battery is present to check the integrity of the unit’s hardware and software. Manually initiated Self-Tests may be run to test the DDU-100’s systems, including the charging and shocking functions (the shock is internally dissipated and no voltage will be present at the pads) at any time.
If it does not, the battery pack may be defective. In that event, the battery pack should be replaced. If it still does not flash after inserting a new battery pack, the DDU-100 AED is non- operational and needs servicing.
If the ASI is flashing red, turn the DDU-100 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, the voice prompts will indicate the nature of the problem.
5.2.3 Running a Manually Initiated Self-Test The DDU-100 AED runs a Power-On Self-Test every time the unit is powered up to test the basic operation of the unit. The unit also runs daily, weekly and monthly automatic Self-Tests when a non-depleted 9V battery is present.
5.2.6 Checking the DDC If One Was Installed Each time the DDU-100 AED is used, an event file is created on the DDC (if installed). If the unit was used to treat a patient, the DDC in the unit should be removed and provided to the patient’s care...
Note: A DDC is not required for the DDU-100 AED to operate. Even if a DDC card is not installed, basic essential information will still be recorded internally. The AED will still operate properly even after a “replace memory card” message.
The following are important guidelines to be adhered to when cleaning the device: • The battery pack should be installed when cleaning the DDU-100. • Do not immerse the DDU-100 in fluids or allow fluids to enter the unit. Use a soft cloth to wipe the case clean.

8.1.5.1 Shockable Rhythm Criteria When placed on a patient meeting the indications for use criteria, the DDU-100 AED is designed to recommend a defibrillation shock when it detects proper pad impedance and one of the following: Peak-to-peak amplitude at least 200 µVolts.
The DDU-100 AED has not been the subject of a published clinical study. 8.1.6.1 Background The objective of this study was to compare AEDs that delivered 150-J biphasic shocks with AEDs that delivered high-energy (200- to 360-J) monophasic shocks.
8.1.6.2 Methods AEDs were prospectively randomized according to defibrillation waveform on a daily basis in four emergency medical services systems. First responders used either the 150-J biphasic AEDs or 200- to 360-J monophasic waveform AEDs on victims where defibrillation was indicated. A sequence of up to three defibrillation shocks was delivered: 150J-150J-150J for the biphasic units and 200J-200J-360J for the monophasic units.
