LIFEPAK CR Plus/EXPRESS Defibrillator Preface
Device Tracking
General Device
Tracking Information It is important to maintain accurate records of defibrillator location within your
facility or system. Maintenance of such records eases the process of locating
defibrillators should it be necessary to modify them. Defibrillators should be
tracked by both the manufacturer’s part number and serial number. Internal
asset or tracking numbers may also be useful in maintaining adequate control of
defibrillators.
Device Tracking The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires defibrillator manufacturers and
distributors to track the location of their defibrillators. The address to which this
particular device was shipped is now listed as the current tracking location. If the
device is located somewhere other than the shipping address or the device has
been sold, donated, lost, stolen, exported, or destroyed, or if it was not obtained
directly from Physio-Control, please call the device tracking coordinator at
1.800.426.4448 to update this vital tracking information.

LIFEPAK CR Plus/EXPRESS Defibrillator Preface
Product Useful Life
The defibrillators and subassemblies are subjected to rigorous life testing. This
testing and the routine testing and preventative maintenance recommended in
this service manual will help provide reliable unit operation for many years.
However, both rapid technological changes and the availability of older
replacement parts limit the useful life of all modern medical devices. The
American Hospital Association suggests a five-year useful life expectancy for
defibrillators (Estimated Useful Lives of Depreciable Hospital Assets, Revised
1998 Edition). Similarly, the U.S. Army lists an eight-year life expectancy for
defibrillators (technical bulletin: Maintenance Expenditure Limits for Medical
Materiel, TB MED 7 Revision 8 October 1993). Physio-Control recommends that
you adopt an eight-year useful life expectancy for this device.

LIFEPAK CR Plus/EXPRESS Defibrillator Preface
Glossary
The following are definitions of terms used throughout this service manual.
■Automated external defibrillator (AED) — The defibrillator uses an ECG
analysis Shock Advisory System™ (SAS) to advise the device operator if it
detects a shockable or nonshockable rhythm. Refer to Appendix B of the
operating instructions for additional information.
■ADAPTIV biphasic technology — Property of the shock waveform generated
by the device. The biphasic waveform is characterized by a positive current
phase, followed by a reverse current phase of shorter duration and
decreased magnitude. The waveform pulse characteristic is biphasic
truncated exponential (BTE).
■CHARGE-PAK™ battery charger — An energy storage device that delivers a
trickle charge to the defibrillator.

General Warnings and Cautions
This section contains general warnings and cautions. Keep these warnings and
cautions in mind when working with the defibrillator. More specific warnings and
cautions appear throughout this service manual and the operating instructions.
WARNINGS!
Possible fire or explosion. Do not use this device in the presence of
flammable gases or anesthetics. Use care when operating this device
close to oxygen sources (such as bag-valve-mask devices or ventilator
tubing).
Shock or fire hazard. Do not immerse any portion of this device in water or
other fluids. Avoid spilling any fluids on the device or accessories. If the
device is ever immersed in water or other fluids, remove the battery until
the unit can be serviced.
Patient hazard. Do not mount the device directly above the patient. Place
the device in a location where it cannot harm the patient should it fall from
its shelf or other mount.
Shock or fire hazard. Equipment or accessories improperly interconnected
to each other can be a source of ignition or cause a shock. Make sure that
all equipment is interconnected safely.

LIFEPAK CR Plus/EXPRESS Defibrillator Safety
General Warnings and Cautions (continued)
WARNING!
Shock hazard. Servicing of this defibrillator must be performed by properly
trained individuals. This defibrillator may retain potentially lethal charges
accessible inside the defibrillator at any time — even when off.
CAUTIONS!
Possible device damage. This defibrillator may be damaged by
mechanical/physical abuse (for example: immersion in water, drop
exceeding 18 inches).
Possible component damage. Do not mount the device near vibration
sources.
Possible device damage. Broken or frayed wires, or loose snap fittings
may cause interference or loss of signal. Pay particular attention to the
point at which the wires enter the terminals. Repeated flexing at these
points eventually causes the wire strands to break. Perform frequent
electrical and visual inspections of cables and wires.
