6 Maintenance and Cleaning

Routine Maintenance

On a routine basis, at least once every six months, check the following:
1. Verify that the CPRmeter status light is flashing green. If the status light is
not flashing green every 5 seconds: See Chapter 7, Troubleshooting Guide.
2. Check that the CPRmeter has a patient adhesive in place and that the liner
remains on it. Replace the patient adhesive at least every 2 years if it is not
used.
3. Replace the battery in accordance with Battery Monitoring (below), and
at least every 2 years.
4. Replace the Patient Adhesive every time the Rear Cover is opened.

Battery Monitoring

The CPRmeter continuously monitors the power of its battery. If the
remaining power is less than that required for an entire CPR event, the
following visual indicators signal that the battery should be replaced before
the next use:
– The green status light does NOT flash green
every 5 seconds when the CPRmeter is turned
off.
– A small battery-low icon is shown in the upper
right corner of the display when the CPRmeter
is being turned on.
– A large battery-low icon is shown on the display
when the CPRmeter is being turned off.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the remaining battery
power during use becomes too low to sustain further operation, the battery-
low icon is shown for 10 seconds and then the CPRmeter turns itself off.
WARNING: Do not interrupt CPR to replace the battery. Continue CPR
without feedback from the CPRmeter.

Battery Replacement

1. Remove the CPRmeter Patient Adhesive from the back of the CPRmeter.
2. Unscrew the Rear Cover using a flathead screwdriver (not supplied) or a
coin, and lift out the cover.
3. Remove the old battery and discard.
4. Insert a new battery into the battery well, in the orientation as directed
by the battery symbol inside the well. See Chapter 12, Specifications, for
battery specifications.
