3
Pacing Waveform
The device generates a Monophasic, truncated exponential current pulse.
In AED Mode Operation

, the operator is prompted to press
ANALYZE
, which allows the Shock Advisory System
(SAS) to analyze the ECG rhythm and make recommendations. The operator then follows a prompted protocol for administering
defibrillation therapy. For more information about AED mode, see section 5 in t
he
operating instructions
.
Manual Mode Operation
, the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator is a direct current defibrillator that applies a
brief, intense pulse of electricity to the heart muscle. Manual mode requires operator interpretation of the ECG rhythm and
interaction with the device in order to defibrillate the patient. For more information about Manual mode, see section 5 in t
he
operating instructions
.
