About shock delivery
Aligning the pressure of the pads and the conductive material applied to the
electrodes, different patient impedances are obtained.
The table below indicates the conditions in which the DualMax offers or inhibits the
delivery of energy.

Shock inhibited.
Bad contact.
Only the red LED is blinking.
When all LEDs blink simultaneously the pads have a short circuit, and
shock delivery will not be permitted.
When only the RED LED is blinking, shock delivery will not be allowed.f
