Setting up your iPAD AED correctly is crucial to ensure it functions properly in an emergency. Follow this comprehensive guide to get your AED ready for use.
First, remove the battery from its protective casing. Slide the battery into the side of the AED until you hear it click into place. The AED will then automatically enter a test cycle to verify that everything is functioning correctly. Wait a few seconds and listen for the voice prompt.
When prompted, press the flashing blue "i" button to acknowledge that the bulb is working. This action confirms that the light is operational. If you do not press the button, the unit will display an error message with an error code, which can be useful for troubleshooting if you need to contact customer support.
After inserting the battery, check the display to ensure it shows the pad icon (indicating the pads are connected) and the battery icon (indicating a full charge). These icons are visible even when the AED is in its case.
Briefly turn on the AED by pressing and holding the green button. Listen for the prompt, "Call the emergency medical services now." To turn off the AED, press and hold the button again until you hear, "System shutting down." This confirms the AED is functioning correctly and ready for use.
It is essential to regularly check your AED to ensure it is always ready for use:
Place the AED securely in its protective case. Ensure it is firmly in place. Next, slide the AED prep kit into the lid of the case so it is readily available when needed. Close the case and zip it up. Your iPAD AED is now ready for deployment.
By following these steps, you can ensure your iPAD AED is correctly set up and ready to use in an emergency. Regular maintenance checks are vital to keep the device in optimal condition.
