Charging
Note
The way in which the shock is administered depends on where you initiate charging.
If you load a charge by pressing a paddle button, the shock can only be
administered via the paddles. If you press the charge button on the membrane
keyboard, the shock is administered via the SavePads Connect.
Press the charge button for your chosen method (see above) (paddle button or charge
button). A shock of the preset energy level is charged by pressing the power charging
button, and shortly afterwards, the device is ready to perform defibrillation.
If the shock is to be administered via the SavePads Connect, and the charging operation has
ended, the green trigger button lights up and a warning signal is sounded.
If the shock is to be administered via the paddles, a warning signal is sounded.
In both cases, the following voice message is also issued:
< Deliver shock now >
The selected charge is available for 15 seconds. If defibrillation is not carried out within this
space of time, internal safety discharge is performed. The energy can also be discharged
internally by pressing the energy charging button again during the 15 seconds.
DANGER
Before pressing the trigger button, disconnect all equipment which is not
defibrillation-proof from the patient!
Before and during energy discharge, all persons involved in reanimation
must step clear of the patient and avoid touching the patient or
conductive objects (e. g. parts of the stretcher)!
Capacitor charging time for defibrillation depends on the available battery capacity. Charging
may take longer if the power module is partly discharged.
If an error occurs during charging, an intermittent warning signal is sounded, followed by the
voice message "Internal error". The capacitor is discharged internally and the devices switches
off automatically. The Service symbol appears on the display.
10.1.3
Triggering defibrillation
Press the trigger button or the two paddle buttons simultaneously to enable
defibrillation, which is carried out immediately after the button is pressed. Hold the
button pressed until the shock has been administered. Avoid contact with the jacks on
the device during defibrillation.
If the charge is loaded via the charge button on the device, the shock can only be administered
via the SavePads Connect. If the charge is loaded via the paddle buttons, the shock can only
be administered via the paddles.
