LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillator Operating Instructions
After
NO SHOCK ADVISED
, the
START CPR
prompts occur. A countdown timer (min:sec
format) continues for the duration specified in
the
CPR TIME 2
setup option.
Note: The CPR metronome automatically
provides audible compression “tocks” and
ventilation prompts or tones only during CPR
intervals. To silence the metronome, press
CPR . To un-silence the metronome, press
CPR again.
When the CPR countdown time ends, the
PUSH ANALYZE prompts occur. These
prompts repeat every 20 seconds until you
press ANALYZE .
Subsequent analysis for
SHOCK ADVISED
and
NO SHOCK ADVISED
sequences are the same
as described above. The energy level for Shock 2, 3, and greater depends on the
ENERGY
PROTOCOL
setup and the analysis decision. When a
NO SHOCK ADVISED
decision follows a
shock, the energy level does not increase for the next shock. When a
SHOCK ADVISED
decision follows a shock, the energy level increases for the next shock.
Motion Detected
If the AED detects motion during the ECG
analysis, the
MOTION DETECTED, STOP
MOTION prompts occur, followed by a
warning tone.
Analysis is inhibited until the motion stops
or for up to 10 seconds. After the motion
ceases or 10 seconds have elapsed,
analysis continues to completion even if
motion is still present. For possible causes
of motion detection and suggested
solutions, see Troubleshooting Tips for
AED Mode (on page 130).
