Defibrillation
Follow the steps 1-2-3
Step 1 - Select energy
Rotate the selection switch until you reach the
energy desired. Energy options go from 5 to 360
Joules. In most cases, 200 Joules is recommended
for adult use
The Apolus automatically identifies that it is operating with internal pads.
Energy in internal pads mode is limited to 50 Joules.
Step 2 – Charge
Press the “Charge” button (green) in the front panel or
use the charge button in the external pads (orange).
While the Apolus is charging, a sound will be emitted
and the measurement of the charged energy will appear
on the display
The energy selected can be increased or decreased at any
time just by rotating the selector switch to the new charge.
To cancel the shock press “Disarm”.
When the charge is complete, the device sends a sound
signal and displays “Charge Ready” on the screen.
Step 3 – Shock
After the “Charge Ready” warning, press the “Shock” 3
button (orange) in the frontpanel or use
the two buttons
(orange) in the external pads.
Only with the adult/child external pads it is possible to
defibrillate using the pad buttons.
CAUTION: make sure nobody is touching the patient!
Clearly warn everyone to stand clear of the patient!
The number of shocks and length of operation are
indicated on the Apolus display.
