9. Position paddles on the upper torso in accordance with
currently applicable guidelines.
10. Briefly press and release the charge button
(
CHARGE
) on
the
APEX
paddle.
When doing so, please note: The shock capacitor can only be
charged if the user menu is not activated.
The charge progress bar appears. A rising charging tone
sounds until the device is ready to deliver the shock.
11. To cancel shock charging: Cancel shock charging by pressing
the
Cancel
function button or by switching to another mode.
12. Check the ECG leads to see whether defibrillation is still
indicated.
Risk of injury due to paddles having an inadequate contact
pressure!
Too low a contact pressure of the paddles leads to a high
resistance against the patient and may prevent shock delivery (at
a resistance > 400
Ω
). This may injure the patient.
Always press paddles on with a contact pressure of about 8 kg.
