NOTE
z
During remote synchronous defibrillation, the local defibrillator/monitor does not display the ECG
waveform. To view the patient’s ECG, check the remote monitor.
z
When you use an remote monitor as the ECG source, a biomedical technician must verify that the remote
monitor and the defibrillator/monitor combination will deliver a synchronized shock within 60 ms of the
peak of the R-wave.
8.7 Contact Impedance Indicator
Contact impedance indicator is used to indicate the impedance between the defibrillator’s pads or paddles in Manual
Defib or AED mode, as shown below:
Different levels of the measured impedance are shown as follows:
„
indicates the impedance is in normal range.
„
indicates the impedance is slightly higher for the defibrillation.
„
indicates the impedance is too high for the defibrillation or the pads or paddles are not
properly connected to the patient.
„
indicates the therapy cable is not properly connected.
To switch on the contact impedance indicator:
1. In Monitor, Manual Defib or Pacer mode, press the Main Menu button on the front panel, and then select
→
[ Others >> ]
→
[ Configuration >> ]
→
Enter the required password.
2. Select [ Manual Defibrillation ] and set [ Contact Impedance Indicator ] to [ On ].
WARNING
z
It is recommended to perform defibrillation on a patient when the contact impedance is in normal range.
However, you can also perform defibrillation when the contact impedance is slightly higher.
