7 - 2 Defibrillator/Monitor Operator’s Manual
CAUTION
•
Use of Manual Defib mode may be password protected. Make sure the operator knows and
remembers the password as defined in Configuration. Failure to enter correct password will prevent
the delivery of manual defibrillation therapy.
•
Clear the conductive gel from the external paddles at the completion of the therapy to prevent the
paddles from being corroded.
•
Prior to using the equipment, disconnect the patient from all equipment that is not defibrillator-
protected.
•
Never charge and deliver shock frequently in non-clinical situations. Otherwise equipment damage
could occur.
NOTE
•
Impedance is the resistance between the electrode pads/external paddles that the defibrillator must
overcome to deliver an effective discharge of energy. The degree of impedance differs from patient
to patient and is affected by several factors including the presence of chest hair, moisture, and
lotions or powders on the skin. If the “Impedance Too High, Shock Not Delivered” message appears,
make sure that the patient’s skin has been dried and that any chest hair has been clipped. If the
message persists, change the electrode pads and/or the pads cable.
•
Alarms are switched off automatically and the “Alarm Off” message is displayed when the
equipment enters the asynchronous defibrillation mode. Alarms remain off until toggled on by
pressing the Alarm Pause button, the Sync mode, the Monitor mode or Pacer mode is entered.
•
Successful resuscitation is dependent on many variables specific to the patient’s physiological state
and the circumstances surrounding the patient event. Failure to have a successful patient outcome is
not a reliable indicator of equipment performance. The presence or absence of a muscular response
to the transfer of energy during electrical therapy is not a reliable indicator of energy delivery or
equipment performance.
7.3 Manual Defibrillation View
A typical screen in the Manual Defib Mode is shown below.
(1) Operating mode
(2) Defibrillation prompt message
(3) ECG parameter and waveform area
This area displays HR numeric and one ECG waveform acquired from the electrode pads,
external paddles or internal paddles.
(4) Contact impedance indicator (configurable)
It indicates the impedance between the patient and electrode pads or external paddles.
