shock, without user intervention. An acoustic countdown starts and the orange button
blinks until the shock is delivered.
Shock hazard!

Do not, under any circumstances, touch the patient during shock delivery.

Make sure that the patient does not touch any conducting objects.
After the shock delivery, proceed with Step 4 Performing cardiopulmonary resuscita-

Performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation
If the FreeCPR option is activated, the device instructs the rescuer to adjust the chest
compression frequency.
FreeCPR measures the compression rate based on the impedance measurement by
the defibrillation electrodes.
5. Perform a CPR cycle. According to the configuration of the device, a CPR cycle
consists of:
– performing chest compressions for the set period of time, or
– alternately performing 30 chest compressions and 2 breathes for the set period
of time.
After the CPR cycle, the device continues automatically with Step 2 Analysing the
ECG signal .
