4. Operation

4.1 Before Using CardiAid

Switching CardiAid On
Open the cover of CardiAid. Device will switch on automatically.
Self-testing
CardiAid immediately starts a self-test when switched on. During self-test, all indication and warning
LEDs light up. When self-test is completed, indication symbols show the status of the device. Observe
the status indicators before continuing to use CardiAid. Green "OK Symbol" flashing indicates that
the device is ready to use. The combination of the status indicator lights have different meanings. See
Section 7. Troubleshooting for further details.
Caution!
If the green "OK Symbol" is not flashing, the device is not ready to use. Immediately
contact Cardia International or an authorized service provider.
Caution!
If any of the red "Battery Symbol" or "Repair Symbol" is flashing, immediately contact
Cardia International or an authorized service provider. See Section 7. Troubleshooting for
further details.
Caution!
If the red "Battery Symbol" is flashing, indicating a low battery, immediately contact
Cardia International or an authorized service provider. The battery should be replaced after
max. 3 years or when the device gives low battery warning.
Warning!
Red "Repair Symbol" flashing together with the green "OK Symbol" indicates a warning
that the electrode is not plugged, rather than a problem affecting the operation of the
device. If you observe this situation, plug the electrode to the device.
Caution!
If one or more of the instruction lights does not light during self-test, the light diodes
may be faulty. The device may be used in the current incident, if there is an emergency.
Immediately contact Cardia International or an authorized service provider for repair.

process. In this section, you may find details on how to act on each verbal and visual instruction given.
