6. Function Test

CardiAid performs an extensive self-test periodically on stand-by status
(cover closed). Additionally, a self-test is performed at the start of each
operation (when cover is opened). The result of the self-test is indicated with
status ındicators: battery symbol, repair symbol and OK symbol. In addition
to these periodical self-tests, functions of CardiAid should be checked on a
regular basis.

6.1 Periods of User Tests

Daily
Check the status indicator symbols of CardiAid daily. If the green OK symbol is flashing in stand-by
position, CardiAid is ready for use. If the red "Battery Symbol" or "Repair Symbol" is flashing, see
Section 7. Troubleshooting. If the problem persists, contact Cardia International or an authorized
service provider immediately.
Semi-annual
Perform a function check every 6 months. (See Section 6.2. Function Check for details)

6.2 Function Check
