Section 4: Rescue
a
. If the Survivalink AED detects a shockable cardiac rhythm, the
voice prompt will say,
“
Charging
”
and the Survivalink AED
prepares to deliver a defibrillation shock.
b.
If the Survivalink AED does not detect a shockable rhythm, the
voice prompt will say,
“
Check pulse. If no pulse, give CPR
.”
Note: If the Asystole prompt has been enabled using MDLink and the
Survivalink AED detects Asystole, you will hear the “Asystole”
voice prompt before the “Check pulse. If no pulse, give CPR”
voice prompt. See the MDLink Manual.
When the Survivalink AED is ready to deliver a defibrillation shock, you
will:
• See the word “Rescue” flashing above the button and
• Hear the charged tone and
• Hear the voice prompt say,
“
Stand clear. Press flashing button to
rescue
”
10.
Push the “Rescue” button to deliver the first defibrillation shock.
Note: If you do not push the “Rescue” button within 30 seconds of
hearing the prompt, the Survivalink AED will disarm and re-
analyze the cardiac rhythm. If a shockable rhythm is still detected,
the “Stand clear. Press flashing button to rescue” prompt repeats.
If a shockable rhythm continues to be detected, but the “Rescue”
button is not pushed for approximately 2 1/2 minutes from the
placement of electrodes or performing CPR, the voice prompt will
say, “Check pulse. If no pulse, give CPR.” Perform CPR if there is
no pulse.
Analyze/Charge/Defibrillation Shock
After the Survivalink AED delivers the first defibrillation shock, the
voice prompt will say,
“
Do not touch patient. Analyzing rhythm.
”
The
Survivalink AED analyzes the cardiac rhythm of the patient again. If the
Survivalink AED determines that a shockable cardiac rhythm still exists,
it will charge, then issue another voice prompt instructing you to deliver
another defibrillation shock.
11.
Push the “Rescue” button to deliver the second defibrillation shock.
Note:
The analyze/charge/defibrillation process will occur a maximum
of three consecutive times.
12.
If at any time the patient has a non-shockable cardiac rhythm, the
voice prompt will say,
“
Check pulse. If no pulse, give CPR.
”
Perform
CPR if there is no pulse.
