7.4 AED Procedure
Confirm that the patient is unresponsive, not breathing or not breathing normally.
Then:
1. Remove clothing from the patient’s chest. Wipe moisture from the patient’s chest and, if necessary, clip or shave
excessive chest hair.
2. Apply multifunction electrode pads to the patient as directed on the pads package. Use anterior-lateral placement.
3. Connect the pads with pads cable, and then plug the pads cable in the equipment’s therapy port.
4. Turn the Mode Select knob to AED.
When the equipment enters AED mode, it checks to see if the pads and pads cable are properly connected. If not, the
message “Connect Pads Cable” or “Apply Pads” will appear in the AED information area until corrective action has been
taken.
5. Follow the screen and voice prompts.
Once an ECG is detected through the multifunction electrode pads, the equipment automatically analyzes the patient’s
heart rhythm and warns you not to touch the patient. If a shockable rhythm is detected, the equipment charges
automatically.
You can switch on/off the voice prompt by accessing configuration management or adjust the volume of the voice
prompts by pressing the voice volume soft key.
6. Press the Shock button, if prompted.
Once charging is complete, the equipment gives prompt “Do Not Touch Patient! Press Shock Button”. Make sure no one is
touching the patient, bed or any equipment connected to the patient. Call out clearly and loudly “Stay Clear”. Then press
the Shock button on the front panel to deliver a shock to the patient.
Delivery of the shock is confirmed by the voice and screen prompt "Shock Delivered" and the shock counter on the
display is updated to reflect the number of shocks given. If the configured [ Shock Series ] is greater than one, the
equipment resumes analyzing the patient’s rhythm after the shock is delivered to see if the shock was successful. Voice
and text prompts continue to guide you through additional shocks.
NOTE
z
Do not use anterior-posterior pads placement (multifunction electrode pads placed on the patient’s chest
and back). The AED algorithm used by the equipment has not been validated using this placement.
z
Motion artifact may delay analysis or affect the ECG signal resulting in an inappropriate shock or no shock
advised message. Keep the patient still during ECG rhythm analysis.
z
The Shock button must be pressed to deliver a shock. The equipment will not automatically deliver a shock.
