1 Introduction to the DDU-120 Series AED
This User Manual provides information to guide trained operators in the use and maintenance of the
Defibtech DDU-120 series Fully Automatic External Defibrillator (“AED”) and its accessories. This
chapter includes an overview of the AED, a discussion of when it should and should not be used, and
information on required operator training.
1.1 Overview
The DDU-120 AED is a Fully Automatic External Defibrillator (“AED”) that is designed to be easy
to use, portable and battery powered. It has only one user control: the ON/OFF button. Voice
prompts and visual indicators provide a simple interface for the operator. The DDU-120 AED is
capable of recording event information including ECG, audio data (optional), and SHOCK/NO-SHOCK
recommendations.
When connected to a patient who is unconscious and not breathing, the DDU-120 AED performs the
following tasks:

shock is required.
The DDU-120 AED uses two self-adhesive defibrillation/monitoring pads to monitor ECG signals and,
if necessary, to deliver defibrillation energy to the patient. These pads (also known as electrodes) are
provided in a single-use, disposable package.
The DDU-120 AED determines proper pad-to-patient contact by monitoring the impedance between

indicators communicate the status of the AED and of the patient to the operator. The DDU-120 AED
has one push-button control and several LED indicators.
Defibrillation energy is delivered as an impedance compensated biphasic truncated exponential
waveform. The device delivers 150 Joules into a 50-ohm load when using adult pads or when using

2
DAC-530E-EN-BD
attenuated child / infant pads, 50J of defibrillation energy into a 50-ohm load. Energy delivered
does not change significantly with patient impedance, although the duration of the generated
waveform will vary. The Defibtech AED is designed to deliver up to 150J of defibrillation energy
through a patient impedance range of 25 – 180 ohms or 50J of defibrillation energy when using the
child / infant pads.
Defibrillation and AED operating power is supplied by a replaceable (non-rechargeable) lithium
battery pack that provides for long standby life and low maintenance operation. Battery packs are

The DDU-120 AED records event documentation internally and, optionally, on Defibtech Data Cards
(“DDC”). The optional DDC plugs into a slot in the AED and enables the AED to record event
documentation, and audio (audio enabled cards only) if sufficient space is available on the card.
Audio recording is available only for units with installed audio-enabled Defibtech Data Cards. Event
documentation stored internally can be downloaded onto a DDC for review.

speaker also emits a “beep” when the unit is in standby mode and has detected a condition
that requires operator attention.

unit has charged and is to deliver a shock. Do not touch the patient while this indicator
is flashing.

WARNING
In patients with cardiac pacemakers, the DDU-120 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.
2.2.4 Shock Delivery

WARNING
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.

WARNING
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.

3 Setting up the DDU-120 AED
This chapter describes the steps required to make your Defibtech DDU-120 AED operational. The
DDU-120 AED is designed to be stored in a “ready” state. This chapter tells you how to make the
device ready, so that if and when you need it, few steps are required to begin using the device.

The Defibtech Data Card (“DDC”) is used to store event and audio
information collected by the AED. All DDU-120 AEDs will operate
without DDCs and will still store critical event information internally.
Different DDC versions store different amounts of information. DDCs

To install the DDC, remove the battery pack and push the DDC, label side up, into the thin slot in
the side of the AED centered over the battery pack opening. The card should click into place and
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, press the card in all the way and then let go. The DDC will be partially ejected
and can be removed by pulling it the rest of the way out.
3.3 Installing the Active Status Indicator 9V Battery
A user-replaceable lithium 9V battery, located inside the battery pack, provides Active Status
Indicator (“ASI”) power. This auxiliary battery is used to provide standby indicator power
independently of the main lithium battery (contained in the battery pack) allowing the main battery
pack to have a significantly longer shelf and standby life.
The unit will operate without a 9V battery installed in the battery pack, but active status indication
will not be provided. If no 9V battery is installed, status can still be checked by turning the unit

compartment. To install, remove the cover covering the 9V
battery compartment by pushing on it sideways. The cover will
slide and detach from the battery pack. Insert the 9V battery into
the 9V battery compartment so that the contacts on the battery
touch the contacts in the battery pack. The orientation of the
