LifePak TCP-Trouble Shooting

Test and Calibration Procedure (TCP)

The Test and Calibration Procedure (TCP) contains in-depth testing and calibration instructions for the LIFEPAK 9A defibrillator/monitor. Unlike the PIP (Performance Inspection Procedure), only those tests considered necessary need to be performed, and these may be conducted in any order. It is necessary to separate the case halves for some of the tests.

TCP-Purpose

These tests may be performed if the defibrillator/monitor fails a step in the PIP or if there is a suspected failure in an assembly. Perform the PIP after completing any of the tests in this section.

NOTE:

If you perform any of the tests in this TCP, perform the PIP (page 3-1) afterward that the defibrillator/monitor is performing within specifications.

TCP_Scope and Applicability

This TCP applies to the LIFEPAK 9A defibrillator/monitor. This TCP does not apply to the LIFEPAK 9, LIFEPAK 9B, or LIFEPAK 9P defibrillator/ monitors; refer to their respective service manuals for testing information.
