In AED operation, there is an Analysis/CPR Protocol mode guides you through a cardiac event
by performing ECG analysis, preparing the device for a shock (if needed), and leading you
through a CPR interval. This cycle is repeated as long as Analysis/CPR Protocol is active and
pads are attached to the patient. If pads become detached from the patient or shorted during the
Analysis/CPR Protocol, the protocol halts and waits for the pads to be reattached or continues
through the CPR interval and then halts and waits for the pads to be reattached.
The X Series defibrillator is capable of analyzing a patient’s ECG rhythm in two different ways.
The first mode of analyzing is automatic; the other mode of analyzing is user activated analysis
and is initiated by pressing the
ANALYZE
button.
Automatic and user activated analysis of a patient’s ECG can be performed only when:
•
Hands-free therapy electrodes are connected, and making good contact with the patient.
•
The defibrillator is on.
The analysis determines if there is a shockable rhythm and if a shockable rhythm is present
prompts the operator to shock the patient at the preconfigured energy level. If the analysis does
not detect a shockable rhythm, the unit alerts the operator that no shock is advised.
If the
SHOCK
button is pressed and a shock is successfully delivered, the shock count
increments by one and is displayed on the screen.
