What it does
: The
Settings
option allows the user to change the currently enabled
protocol by entering a special protocol code. This code is a special code that encodes all
the important information regarding the protocol (i.e. number of compressions and breaths
per cycle, compression pacing, number of CPR cycles, and number of shocks between
CPR). This code is custom generated by Defibtech. If the code is not entered correctly the
protocol will not be changed. Based on the protocol code entered, the currently selected
protocol will be changed to that described by the special protocol code. You can obtain this
code from your medical director or from Defibtech. (For Defibtech contact information,
please refer to the “
Contacts
” section in Chapter 12.) Once the code has been entered, the
settings will have been changed.
To enter the code use the TOP softkey button to scroll through numbers/letters. Once
the correct number/letter appears, use the CENTER softkey button to move to the next
space. Once all of the numbers/letters have been entered, press the CENTER softkey
button. The settings will have been changed based on the code entered.
