AED Setup
You can set up the LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor to turn on in AED mode before placing the
defibrillator in use (refer to
Section 8 ).
When illuminated, the AED mode LED indicates that the Continuous Patient Surveillance System
(CPSS) is active. CPSS automatically monitors the patient ECG for a potentially shockable
rhythm.
When the
ANALYZE
button is pressed, the Shock Advisory System is activated. Shock Advisory
System is an ECG analysis system that advises the user if it detects a shockable or
nonshockable rhythm.
WARNING!
Possible misinterpretation of data.
Do not analyze while patient is moving or being transported. Motion artifact may affect the ECG
signal resulting in an inappropriate
SHOCK
or
NO SHOCK ADVISED
message. Motion detection
may delay analysis. Stop motion and stand clear of patient during analysis.
Pediatric patient safety risk.
In AED mode, the LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor is not intended for use on pediatric patients
less than eight years old.
