Service And Maintenance - HeartSine samaritan PAD SAM 500P User Manual

Service and Maintenance

HeartSine recommends users perform regular maintenance checks. The recommended
maintenance checks are:
Weekly
Check the status indicator. If the green status indicator is not flashing every 5 to 10
seconds or if the red status indicator is flashing or if you hear beeping, a problem has
been detected. See 'Troubleshooting' on page 25. The SAM 500P performs a self-
test routine at midnight GMT every Sunday. During this self-test the status light blinks
red but returns to green on successful completion of the self-test routine. The self-test
takes no more than 10 seconds to complete. If the status indicator continues to flash
red the SAM 500P has a fault (see 'Troubleshooting' on page 25).
Monthly
If the device shows any signs of physical damage, contact your authorised distributor
or HeartSine Technologies directly.
Check the expiry date of the SAM 500P Pad-Pak (see 'Preparation' on page 14 for
the location of the date). If the date has expired, or is near expiry, replace with a new
Pad-Pak or contact your local HeartSine distributor for a replacement.
If you hear a warning message when you turn on your SAM 500P or if, for any reason,
you have suspicions that your SAM 500P is not working correctly, read the section
'Troubleshooting' on page 25.
