Powerheart® AED G3 Pro 9300P 70-00969-01 F
3-11
Using manual override (Manual mode)
For use by qualified EMS personnel only. The AED has a manual
override feature that overrides the AED’s automatic analysis protocol.
By entering this mode, the rescuer is taking responsibility to identify a
shockable rhythm and to administer a shock. The default setting for
the manual override is
enabled . When enabled, the Manual Override
option allows the user to charge the AED and deliver a shock at the
user's discretion. After the shock button is pressed or 30 seconds has
elapsed, the AED automatically exits the manual mode and returns to
the AED mode.
Optionally, the manual override default behavior may be modified so
that after entering manual mode, the AED remains in the manual
override mode for the duration of the rescue. This feature is enabled by
selecting the
REMAIN IN MANUAL MODE option in the MDLink
software and can be configured during the initial set up of the AED.
To enter Manual mode:
1. Refer to Step 1: Assess the patient on page 3-5.
2. Lift the blue plastic cover on far left of diagnostic panel.
3. Press the Manual button once to initiate the mode. The voice
prompt and corresponding text prompts indicate “Entering
manual mode. Press button again to confirm.”
4. Press the Manual button again to confirm and change to manual
mode. The manual indicator on the display panel will be active.
The voice and corresponding text prompts indicate, “Manual
Mode.”
Note: MANUAL MODE is initially displayed on the screen when
activated. If the Medical Director has disabled this feature in
MDLink, an icon indicating NO MANUAL MODE will appear in the
bottom left of the display. Continue the rescue in AED Mode.
5. The voice prompts and corresponding text prompts indicate, “If
rhythm is shockable, press SHOCK button to deliver therapy”.
Read the ECG and determine if the rhythm is shockable. If so,
press the SHOCK button to deliver therapy.
Note: The RHYTHMx analysis algorithm is disabled in manual
mode. It is the rescuer’s responsibility to determine if a shock is
necessary.
