Switching PRIMEDIC™ HeartSave AED On And Off.
Switching PRIMEDIC™ HeartSave AED On
The device is activated automatically on removing the cover. If the device is not
switched on automatically, switch it on by pressing the
On / Standby button.
All buttons except the trigger button are then enabled.
Defibrillation is triggered only after ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachy-
cardia (VT) have been detected.
Immediately after it has been switched, the device runs an internal self-test to check
the important functions and signal equipment. A signal tone confirms that the device
is ready for operation. Always check the functioning of the speaker.
Switching PRIMEDIC™ HeartSave AED Off
PRIMEDIC™ HeartSave AED can be switched off in many ways:
– By pressing the On / Standby button for about three seconds. At the same time,
there are three warning tones. This time is selected so that the device is not
switched off by mistake.
– By replacing the cover of the device.
– If the device does not detect a signal for ten minutes or if no button is pressed, it
is switched off automatically.
If the device detects any defect, it switches off automatically to prevent any possible
injuries.
