    User Testing The User Test is a functional test of the LIFEPAK 15 monitor / defibrillator. User Testing should be performed only for the purpose of testing, not while using the defibrillator for patient care. Run the User Test as a part of the Operator's Daily Checklist. Note: The defibrillator must be in Manual mode to run the User Test. To run the User Test outside of the Operator Checklist: 1. Press ON to turn on the LIFEPAK 15 monitor / defibrillator. 2. Press OPTIONS. The Options menu is displayed. 3. Select USER TEST. The defibrillator performs the following tasks: • Self-test to check the device: • Charges to 10 joules and discharges internally (this power can not be accessed in the therapy connector.) • Prints an approval / failure report. If the LIFEPAK 15 monitor / defibrillator detects a fault during the User Test, the Service LED turns on and the printed report indicates that the test failed. Remove the use defibrillator and contact a qualified service technician. If you need to stop the User Test, turn the device off and then on again. The test is interrupted and the defibrillator operates normally. The approval / failure report does not print.
  • Causa
    Physio-control has become aware of a potential problem in the device that may make it impossible for the lifepak device 15 to provide energy for defibrillation due to the possible failure of an internal (relay) component installed in the therapy printed circuit board assembly (pcba, the detection of the problem was based on a (01) complaint received outside brazil where an equipment failed the user's daily test (instructed by the service manual). the device displayed "abnormal energy delivery" and logged error code a51e. the relay defect can be identified during the device user test, as described in the chapter titled "equipment maintenance" in the lifepak 15 operating instructions (see the excerpt of the operating instructions on page 2 of this notice).
