Abstract
We use the defibrillator in emergency, so it causes confusion that the defibrillator breaks down at the time of use. We inspect defibrillators two times a year in department of clinical engineering. Some of them have transcutaneous pacing function. In the check of the defibrillator, we must not only measure actual measurement of the energy but also inspect the function of transcutaneous pacing. But we had not inspected the function of transcutaneous pacing, because defibrillator manufacturers have not made its method clear. Therefore we originally have devised a method of checking the function of transcutaneous pacing (it was based on JIS T 1356). It became generally possible to inspect defibrillators with transcutaneous pacing.
