2 Press ANALYZE Button
WARNING! Keep patient motionless during ECG analysis. Do not touch the patient during analysis.
Cease all movement via stretcher or vehicle before analyzing the ECG.
Press the ANALYZE button to begin the analysis of the patient’s ECG rhythm and to determine
if a shockable rhythm is present.
An ANALYZING message is displayed at the top of the screen for 6 to 12 seconds while the
patient’s ECG is analyzed. Once the analysis is completed, the unit indicates whether or not a
shock is advised.
The analysis determines whether there is a shockable rhythm. If the analysis detects a
shockable rhythm the unit 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.
WARNING! ECG rhythm analysis does not warn of patient asystole, which is not a shockable
rhythm.
When a nonshockable rhythm is detected, the unit displays a NO SHOCK ADVISED message.
Follow the local protocols to continue CPR or other life support, and re-analyze the ECG at
appropriate intervals.
Note: When a nonshockable rhythm is detected, the X Series does not prevent the user from
manually defibrillating the patient.
