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 washed and dried and that any chest hair has been clipped. If the message persists,
change the pads and/or the pads cable.
7.5 Shock Advised
If a shockable rhythm is detected, the equipment automatically charges to the pre-configured energy level. A charging
tone is sounded, and the Shock button flashes when the equipment is fully charged.
Heart rhythm analysis continues while the equipment charges. If a rhythm change is detected before the shock is
delivered and a shock is no longer appropriate, the stored energy is removed internally.
Once you are prompted "Do Not Touch Patient! Press Shock Button", if you do not do so within the configured Auto
Disarm time interval, the equipment disarms itself and resumes analyzing.
When the equipment is being charged or have been fully charged, you can remove the charged energy at any time by
pressing the [
Pause for CPR
] soft key.
For defibrillation of adult patients, recommended energy level is 200 Joules.
7.6 No Shock Advised (NSA)
If a shockable rhythm is not detected, the equipment will tell you "No Shock Advised!".
„
If the [ NSA Action ] is set to [ CPR ]
The equipment enters CPR status and you will see and hear “No Shock Advised! Paused. If Needed, Begin CPR.” The
remaining pause time is displayed as shown below. The pause period can be defined by setting [ CPR Time ]
through configuration management.
Analysis resumes at the completion of the pause period or when you press the [ Resume Analyzing ] soft key in CPR
status.
„
If the [ NSA Action ] is set to [ Monitor ]
The equipment continues to monitor the ECG and automatically resumes analysis if a potentially shockable rhythm
is detected. You will hear “No Shock Advised! If needed press pause for CPR”. The message "No Shock Advised!" and
“Monitoring” are shown circularly in the AED information area.
You can define the frequency of these prompts by adjusting [ Voice Prompts Interval ] through configuration
management. You may press the [ Pause for CPR ] soft key to suspend monitoring and administer CPR. The pause
period can be defined by setting [ CPR Time ] through configuration management.
