ZOLL E Series, Operator'S Manual, Page: 50 / 133

Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Operation
9650-1210-01 Rev. T 5-3
When a non-shockable rhythm is detected, the unit
displays a
NO SHOCK ADV. message.
In this case, immediately check pulse and breathing and
resume other treatment per protocol.
If the patient’s rhythm is shockable, the unit displays a
SHOCK ADVISED message.
In this case, the defibrillator begins charging to the pre-
configured energy setting and displays a
CHARGING
message.
When charging is complete, the monitor displays the
energy level to which the defibrillator is charged in the
XXXJ READY message. The SHOCK button illuminates
and the PRESS SHOCK prompt is announced and
displayed.
Note: Rhythm analysis does not continue after the
defibrillator is charged and ready once a decision
to shock has been made. The E Series will not
automatically disarm the defibrillator if the
patient’s rhythm reverts to a non-shockable
rhythm before the shock has been delivered.
A continuous tone sounds for 10 seconds, followed by an
intermittent beeping for 5 seconds. You must deliver the
shock within this 15 second interval or the defibrillator
disarms itself.

Press SHOCK
Press and hold the illuminated SHOCK button on the
front panel until energy is delivered to the patient.
Observe the patient or ECG response to be certain that
the shock has been delivered.
After the energy is delivered to the patient, the display
returns to XXX J SEL. SHOCKS: 1, indicating the
number of shocks administered to the patient.
Repeat Analysis
Press the ANALYZE button to restart an ECG analysis
and to determine if additional shocks are required.
Note: Manual or automatic reanalysis of the ECG
rhythm is inhibited for 3 seconds after a shock.
Continue Patient Care
Continue patient care according to medical protocols.
Operating Messages
The unit uses both audio and visual prompts to convey
critical information. The following information describes
the unit’s default message configuration. If your device
has been custom configured, some of the information
may be different.
There are 9 voice prompts used in Semiautomatic mode.
These prompts are accompanied by a prompt displayed
on the monitor. The voice prompts are given only once,
but the monitor continues to display the prompt until you
take new action or the device status changes.
The unit also provides a beeper tone to indicate unit
status. Four beeps immediately after turning the unit on
signifies the self diagnostics are complete and the unit is
120J SEL.
