Warning
If the R-wave synchronization markers do not appear to be nearly simultaneous with the R-waves on the
Propaq CS monitor display or are not present, do not proceed with synchronized cardioversion.
You must press the LIFEPAK 5 Defibrillator SYNC button and check for appropriate synchronization markers
on the Propaq CS monitor before each attempt at cardioversion. Protocol Systems cannot guarantee the delay from
the sync marker to the defibrillator discharge.
Note
A problem with the Interface Cable connecting the defibrillator and monitor, such as a cable fault or unplugging the
cable, will prevent display of synchronization markers and may prevent the defibrillator from entering the synchronized mode.
5.
Follow hospital procedures and LIFEPAK 5 Defibrillator instructions for cardioversion.
6.
If subsequent cardioversion must be performed, repeat steps 3 through 5.
Remove the Interface Cable
1.
Disconnect the Interface Cable from the monitor.
2.
Press the lever on the side of the LIFEPAK 5
Defibrillator and slide the Interface forward until
it is detached.
3.
Store the Interface Cable in its static-protected
plastic bag.
