1 Introduction to the DDU-2200 AED
This User Manual provides information to guide operators in the use and maintenance of the Defibtech DDU-2200
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and its accessories. It includes comprehensive training on set-up, use, and
maintenance and is the source for complete technical specifications.
This chapter includes intended use, an overview of the AED, a discussion of when it should and should not be used,
and information on operator training.
1.1 Overview
The DDU-2200 AED is a Fully-Automatic External Defibrillator that will shock a patient automatically without additional
interaction by the operator if a shock is required. It is designed to be easy to use, portable, and battery powered.
Push-button controls and indicators include an ON/OFF button, three softkey buttons, and a SHOCK Required
Indicator LED. Voice prompts, text prompts, and a display screen with visual prompts provide a simple interface for
the operator. The DDU-2200 AED is capable of recording event information, including ECG, audio data (optional), and
SHOCK/NO-SHOCK recommendations.
The DDU-2200 AED performs the following tasks:
• Prompts the operator, through audio, text, and video prompts, to prepare the patient for treatment.
• Automatically analyzes the patient’s ECG.
• Determines whether a shockable rhythm is present.
• Charges the capacitor.
• Automatically delivers a shock, without any user intervention, once the device has determined a shock is
advised.
• Provides instructions to perform CPR.
• Repeats the process, if needed.
The DDU-2200 AED uses two self-adhesive, single-use, non-sterile defibrillation pads (also known as electrode pads or
pads) to monitor ECG signals and, if advised, to deliver defibrillation energy to the patient. These pads are provided in
a single-use, disposable package that can be preconnected to the AED. The pads package is labeled with an expiration
date. The DDU-2200 AED determines proper pad-to-patient contact by measuring the impedance between the two
pads.
The DDU-2200 AED user interface is clear and concise. It has push-button controls and a display screen. Easily
understandable voice messages and text and video prompts guide the operator through the use of the unit. The device
communicates the status of the AED and of the patient to the operator.
Defibrillation energy is delivered as an impedance compensated biphasic truncated exponential waveform. The
device delivers 150 Joules of defibrillation energy (into a 50-ohm load) when using adult defibrillation pads and 50 J
of defibrillation energy (into a 50-ohm load) when using child/infant pads (also known as pediatric defibrillation pads).
Energy delivered does not change significantly with patient impedance, although the duration of the generated
waveform will vary.
Defibrillation and AED operating power is supplied with a replaceable (non-rechargeable) battery pack that provides
for long standby life and low maintenance operation. Each battery pack is marked with an expiration date.
The DDU-2200 AED records event documentation internally and, optionally, on a Defibtech Data Card (DDC card). The
optional DDC card inserts into a slot in the AED and enables the AED to record event documentation and, optionally,
audio data onto the card. Audio recording is selectable through configuration settings. Event documentation stored
internally can be downloaded onto a DDC card for review.
A USB port is provided to perform maintenance and data recovery. The USB interface allows connection to a personal
computer. Defibtech PC maintenance software helps support event downloading and unit maintenance operations.

• Do not open sealed pads package until pads are to be used. The packaging should be opened only immediately prior
to use, otherwise the pads may dry out and become non-functional.
• Do not touch the patient during defibrillation. Defibrillation current can cause operator or bystander injury.
• Do not allow pads to touch metal objects or equipment in contact with the patient. Do not touch equipment
connected to the patient during defibrillation. Disconnect all non-defibrillator proof equipment from the patient before
defibrillation to prevent electrical shock hazard and potential damage to that equipment.
• Do not shock with defibrillation pads touching each other. Do not shock with gel surface exposed.
2. Warnings and Cautions

11
DAC-E2512EN-BB
• Do not allow defibrillation pads to touch each other, or to touch other ECG electrodes, lead wires, dressings,
transdermal patches, etc. Such contact can cause electrical arcing and patient skin burns during defibrillation and
may divert defibrillating energy away from the heart.
• The defibrillation pads are intended for one-time use only and must be discarded after use. Reuse can lead to potential cross
infection, improper performance of the device, inadequate delivery of therapy, and/or injury to the patient or operator.
• Avoid contact between parts of the patient’s body and conductive fluids such as water, gel, blood or saline, and metal
objects, which may provide unwanted pathways for defibrillating current.
• Do not connect the DDU-2200 AED to a PC or other device (using the USB port) while the unit’s electrodes are still
connected to the patient.
• Aggressive or prolonged CPR to a patient with defibrillation pads attached can cause damage to the pads.
Replace the defibrillation pads if they become damaged during use.
• Possible Radio Frequency (RF) interference from RF devices such as cellular phones and two-way radios can cause
improper AED operation. Normally using a cell phone near the AED should not cause a problem; however, a distance
of 2 meters (6 feet) between RF devices and the DDU-2200 AED is recommended.
• CPR during analysis can cause incorrect or delayed diagnosis by the patient analysis system.
• Do not place adult defibrillation pads in the anterior-posterior (front-back) position. A shock or no shock decision may
be inappropriately advised. The DDU-2200 AED requires that the adult defibrillation pads be placed in the anterior-
anterior (front-front) position.
• Some very low amplitude or low frequency VF rhythms may not be interpreted as shockable. Some very low amplitude
or low frequency VT rhythms may not be interpreted as shockable.
• Handling or transporting the patient in any way during ECG analysis can cause incorrect or delayed diagnosis,
especially if very low amplitude or low frequency rhythms are present. If the patient is being transported, stop
vehicle before beginning ECG analysis.
• In patients with cardiac pacemakers, the DDU-2200 AED may have reduced sensitivity and not detect all shockable
rhythms. If you know the patient has an implanted pacemaker, do not place electrodes directly over an implanted
device.
• During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and defibrillation pads can cause patient skin burns. To help
prevent air pockets, make sure self-adhesive defibrillation pads completely adhere to the skin. Do not use dried
out or expired defibrillation pads.
• Defibrillation may cause skin burns around the defibrillation pads area.
• User-initiated and automatic self-tests are designed to assess the DDU-2200 AED’s readiness for use. However, no
degree of testing can assure performance or detect abuse, damage, or a defect that occurred after the most recent
test is completed.
• Use of damaged equipment or accessories may cause the device to perform improperly and/or result in injury to the
patient or operator.
• Follow voice prompts if the LCD screen becomes blank or unreadable.
• It may be possible for the AED to not detect a shockable rhythm, not deliver a shock to a shockable rhythm or not
deliver the intended energy during defibrillation.
• It may be possible that the AED recommends a shock for a non-shockable rhythm, and if a shock is delivered, VF or
cardiac arrest may occur.
• Even if defibrillation occurs, the sudden cardiac arrest event may not result in survival.
• Defibrillation may cause myocardial damage or post-shock dysfunction.
• Therapy cannot be delivered while an AED software update is in process.
• Do not turn off the AED or remove the battery pack or the update data card until an AED software update process is
complete as these actions may render the AED incapable of delivering therapy. If any of these interruptions occur,
restart the update procedure from the beginning.
WARNINGS (continued)
2. Warnings and Cautions

3.2 Connecting the Defibrillation Pads
The DDU-2200 AED defibrillation pads are supplied sealed in a package with the connector and part of the cable
exposed.
WARNING
DO NOT open the sealed pads package until the pads are to be
used. The packaging should be opened only immediately prior to use,
otherwise the pads may dry out and become non-functional.
Note: The DDU-2200 AED is designed to be stored with the pads connector
already installed. This simplifies the procedure for deploying and operating the
device in an emergency. Defibtech recommends that the AED be stored with
adult defibrillation pads connected to the unit and that a set of pediatric
defibrillation pads be stored in an accessible location near the AED (e.g. in an
AED storage case), but not connected to the unit.
First, check to ensure that the pads package has not expired as shown at right.
The expiration date is printed on the pad pouch and is also reported on the AED
status screen. Do not use pads past expiration date. Discard expired pads.
Insert the connector end of the defibrillation pad cable into the pads connector socket on the
top-left corner of the DDU-2200 AED as shown at left. Insert pads connector firmly until it is
fully seated in the unit. The connector will only fit in one way – if the connector does not fit,
rotate the connector before trying again.
The connected pads package should then be stored in the pad storage slot in the back of the DDU-
2200 AED. After connecting the pads connector to the unit, push the pads package, rounded end
first, with the pictures on the package facing out, into the pad holder compartment on the back of
the AED. When the pads package is fully inserted, press the pad cable into the groove in the back
of the unit to hold the cable in place and tuck any excess cable behind the pads package.
WARNING
The defibrillation pads are intended for one-time use only and must be discarded after use.
Reuse can lead to potential cross infection, improper performance of the device, inadequate
delivery of therapy, and/or injury to the patient or operator.
3.3 Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
The battery pack provides power to the DDU-2200 AED. Do not install the battery
pack after the expiration date printed on the label as shown at right. The supplied
battery pack is non-rechargeable (see Chapter 7 for information about optional
rechargeable battery packs).
Before inserting the battery pack into the
DDU-2200 AED as shown at left, ensure that
the battery pack opening in the back of the
AED is clean and clear of any foreign objects. Insert the battery pack into the
opening in the back of the AED. Push the pack all the way in until the latch
clicks. The battery pack will only fit in one way – if the battery pack does not
fit, rotate the battery pack before trying again. Once fully inserted, the battery
pack surface should be flush with the back of the AED.
Within moments of insertion the DDU-2200 AED will turn on and run a battery
pack insertion self-test.* When the test is completed, the unit will report
the status of the battery pack and shut down. Afterwards, the Active Status
Indicator (ASI), adjacent to the ON/OFF button of the DDU-2200 AED, will periodically flash. If the indicator flashes
green, the AED and battery pack are ready for use. If the indicator flashes red, is solid red, or there is no flashing
light, the AED requires service (refer to Section 3.4, “Checking the DDU-2200 AED Status”, for more details on the
meaning of the indicator).
*Note: The battery pack must have been removed from the unit for at least 10 seconds for the battery pack self-test
to be performed automatically.
To remove the battery pack, push the battery pack eject release latch. After the battery pack is
partially ejected, pull the battery pack out.

3.4 Checking the DDU-2200 AED Status
Active Status Indicator (ASI)
Once a fully-functional battery pack is installed in the DDU-2200 AED, an LED indicator located to the right of the ON/
OFF button actively indicates unit status. If the unit is ready for use, the Active Status Indicator (ASI) will flash green.
Ready for use means that the DDU-2200 AED has passed the most recent self-test (scheduled or user initiated). If
the unit needs service, the ASI will flash red. When the ASI flashes red, the unit will also “beep” periodically to call
attention to itself. The ASI also uses a distinct flash pattern to assist people with color blindness: green will flash a
single flash and red will flash a double flash.
The ASI is powered by the battery pack. If the battery pack has been completely discharged or is not installed in the
unit, the active status indication will be off. In this case, immediately replace the battery pack or reinsert it into the
unit to restore active status indication.

3.5 Installing the Defibtech Data Card (DDC Card) (optional)
The Defibtech Data Card (DDC card) is used to store event and audio information collected by the AED. All DDU-
2200 AEDs will operate without DDC cards and will still store select event information internally. Information stored
on the DDC card is retrievable with a separate Defibtech PC-based software package (refer to the “DefibView”
section in Chapter 8 of this manual).
Before installing the DDC card, ensure the AED is turned OFF. Locate the data card/USB port access door on the
right-hand side of the unit. Open the data card/USB port access door by slightly pushing and then sliding the door
down to release the latch. The door will spring open. Insert the DDC card into the thin slot in the side of the AED
centered above the USB port opening, notched end first, label side up, until it clicks into place. The card should be
flush with the surface of the slot. If the card does not push in all the way, it may have been inserted upside down.
In that case, remove the card, flip it over, and try inserting it again.
To remove the DDC card, press the card as far as it will go and then release. Upon release, the DDC card will be
partially ejected and can be removed by pulling the DDC card the rest of the way out.
Close the data card/USB port access door by closing and then pushing the door up until the door latch engages.
CAUTION
Using non-Defibtech Data Cards
(DDC cards) may damage the unit
and will void the warranty.
3.6 Completing the Installation
Once you have completed the previous steps to set up your DDU-2200 AED, follow this procedure:
1. Turn the unit on by pressing the ON/OFF button.
2. Listen for the “Call for Help” voice prompt.
3. Turn the unit off by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button.
4. Listen for the “Powering Off ”voice prompt.
5. Check Active Status Indicator (ASI) to verify that it is flashing green.
(Refer to the ”Self-Tests” section in Chapter 5 of this manual for instructions on how to run a manually-initiated self-test.)
3.7 Storing the DDU-2200 AED
Store the DDU-2200 AED, with defibrillation pads attached, in environmental conditions within range of the
specifications (refer to Section 9.1.4, “Environmental," for more information). The unit should also be stored so that
the Active Status Indicator (ASI) can be readily seen.
The Active Status Indicator (ASI) should periodically flash with a green light. If it flashes with a red light or does not
flash at all, the DDU-2200 AED needs servicing (refer to Section 3.4, “Checking the DDU-2200 AED Status”, for more
information).
Defibtech recommends storing your AED in an easily accessible location where the unit can be seen and heard.

4.2 Preparation
Checking the DDU-2200 AED Status
Visually check the Active Status Indicator (ASI). The ASI should flash green. The ASI flashes green to indicate ready
for use status. The ASI flashes red, solid red, or is not lit at all to indicate that service is required.
The ASI is powered by the battery pack. If the battery pack has been completely discharged or is not installed in the
unit, the active status indication will not be available. In this case, immediately replace the battery pack or reinsert it
into the unit to restore active status indication.

Call for Help
Call professional emergency services for help. As soon as the AED is turned on, the unit will prompt the user to “Call for
Help.” This is a reminder that the first step in a rescue should always be to contact professional emergency services.
If another person is available, the user should direct that person to call for help and then continue the rescue
without delay.
Selecting an Alternate Spoken Language
Follow Instructions
Some AED models are factory configured to support an
alternate spoken language. If the AED supports an alternate
language, a Language Softkey Icon (represented in the form
of a flag) will be displayed. When the Language Softkey Icon
is present, the user may press the corresponding softkey to
switch the spoken voice prompts to the alternate language.
(Note:Text prompts continue in the primary language.)
Pressing the softkey again will switch the spoken language
back to the primary language. The Language Softkey Icon is
available only until the defibrillation pads are properly applied
to the patient.
Preparing the Patient
Prepare the patient by removing any clothing from the patient’s chest. Wipe away moisture from the chest if
necessary (the defibrillation pads will stick better on dry skin). If necessary, shave excessive chest hair, which can
prevent effective patient-pad contact. To ensure that defibrillation pads fully contact the patient’s skin, check that no
jewelry or other objects are directly underneath where the pads will be placed.
Connecting the Defibrillation Pads to the DDU-2200 AED
Connect pads to unit, if not already connected. Follow AED voice and display instructions.
The DDU-2200 AED is designed to be stored with the defibrillation pads connector attached
to the unit, while the pads themselves remain sealed in their package. This reduces the time
needed to set up and start treatment in an emergency.
The Defibtech AED should be stored with the pads connector attached to the unit. However,
if pads were damaged or not properly connected, you may need to substitute a new set of
pads during an emergency. The pads connector socket is on the top left corner of the AED.
To detach a set of pads from the unit, pull firmly on the pad connector. Do not reuse used pads. Insert the
connector for the new pads as shown above. The connector will only fit in one way – if the connector does not fit,
rotate the connector before trying again. Insert connector firmly until it is completely seated in the unit.
When this Information Softkey Icon is present on the screen, the user may
press the corresponding softkey button for additional information with video
instruction. To exit, press the softkey button again.
Opening the Defibrillation Pads Package
Remove the pads package from the pad storage slot at the back of the AED.* Open the pads package by tearing
along the dotted line, starting at the black arrow (follow directions on the package). Check that the pads are:
• Free from obvious signs of damage.
• Clean of excessive debris (for example, dirt if the pad was dropped).
• Not dried out, and that the gel is sticky and will adhere to the patient.
• Not expired. Do not use pads after the expiration date printed on the package.
If any of these conditions are found, use a new set of pads, if possible.
*
Note: If the patient is an infant or child under 8 years or less than 55 pounds (25 kg) and pediatric defibrillation pads
are available, disconnect the adult pads connected to the AED and connect the pediatric pads (see the “Connecting
the Defibrillation Pads to the DDU-2200 AED” section above for details). Do not delay therapy to determine exact
age or weight. If pediatric pads are not available, apply adult pads in the position for a child/infant as shown in the
“Applying the Defibrillation Pads to the Patient” section of this Chapter and use the AED.

Applying the Defibrillation Pads to the Patient
Follow this procedure to apply the defibrillation pads to the patient:
1. Tear the defibrillation pads package along the dotted line near the top of the package.
2. Remove the pads from the package and follow the directions and diagram showing proper pad placement
located on the pads package.
3. Peel off the protective backing from one of the pads before placing it as shown on the diagram on the pad.
Peel the backing off only when the pad is ready to be placed.
4. Place the pad with the sticky side of the pad on the patient’s skin.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to place the other pad onto the patient.
Correct pad placement (shown below) is essential for effective analysis of the patient’s cardiac rhythm and
subsequent shock delivery (if required). Pad placement on infants and children under 8 years or less than 55
pounds (25 kg) is different than placement for adults and children 8 years or older or over 55 pounds (25 kg).
Do not delay therapy to determine exact age or weight. If pediatric pads are not available, apply adult pads in
the position as shown for a child/infant and use the AED.
Sample Adult Pads Sample Child/Infant Pads
For adults and children 8 years or older or
over 55 pounds (25 kg), use adult pads:
Place one pad just below the patient’s right collar bone
as shown in the picture. Place the second pad over
the ribs on the patient’s left side below the left breast.
Use picture on pad to determine individual
pad placement.
For infants and children under 8 years or less than
55 pounds (25 kg), use child/infant pads
(Note:Child/infant pads can be identified by
their blue connector and pads package):
Place one pad in the center of the chest and one pad
on the center of the back, as shown. Use picture on
pad to determine individual pad placement.
