7 - 4 Defibrillator/Monitor Operator’s Manual
The current energy selection is shown in the defibrillation information area as shown below.
You can also select the desired energy level by the adjusting the Energy Select buttons on the front panel
or on external paddles if external paddles are used.
5. Charge
Press the Charge button on the front panel. If external paddles are used, the Charge button on the paddles
may be used instead. As the equipment charges, a progress bar is shown in the defibrillation information
area. A charging tone sounds until desired energy level is reached, when you will hear a charge done tone.
If you have to increase or decrease the selected energy during charging or after charging is completed,
adjust the Energy Select button to select the desired energy level as explained above. Then press the
Charge button again to restart charging.
To remove the energy, press the [ Disarm ] soft key. If the Shock button is not pressed within the specified
time period, the equipment disarms automatically. You can set [ Time to Auto Disarm ] to define the time
period by selecting [ Manual Defib Setup ] from the Configuration Main menu.
6. Shock
Confirm that a shock is still indicated and that the equipment has charged to the selected energy level.
Make sure no one is touching the patient, bed or any equipment connected to the patient. Call out clearly
and loudly “Stay Clear”.
◆
If electrode pads are used, press the flashing Shock button on the front panel to deliver a shock to the
patient.
◆
If external paddles are used, simultaneously press the Shock buttons located on the paddles to deliver
a shock to the patient.
NOTE
•
Defibrillation is always performed through external paddles or electrode pads. However, during
defibrillation you may choose to monitor the ECG using an alternate ECG source (3- or 5-lead
monitoring electrodes). If an alternate ECG source is connected, any available lead may be
displayed.
•
When external paddles are used, the Shock button on the front panel is disabled.
•
For defibrillation of pediatric patients, you can use the default energy level, or adjust the energy
level to 2-4 J/kg for the first shock and 4 J/kg for additional shocks followed the first shock.
•
For defibrillation of pediatric patients under 8 years, pediatric electrode pads should be used.
•
If pediatric electrode pads are not available, the adult electrode pads may be used instead, and set
the patient category to [Ped].
•
For defibrillation of neonatal patients, set the energy level according to the patient’s clinical
condition. The energy level for neonatal patient should be lower than the default setting.
