Synchronised defibrillation procedure
1. Connect the electrode cable to the pads connector.
2. If the device starts in
Monitoring
or
AED
mode, proceed according description
chapter 5.2.1 Activating the manual defibrillation mode, page 82.
10. Deliver the shock by pressing the button
,
Keep the button
pressed until the shock is delivered.
Be aware that after initiation of the shock, the actual shock will be released with
the next trigger signal (QRS) derived from the ECG. This may lead in a shock
delivery delay time of 30 second.
11. After the shock is delivered, monitor the patient and the ECG signal.
If the default setting is “Sync after sync shock =
No
” the synchronized
defibrillation mode is switched back to OFF after delivering the shock.
12. If a second attempt is contemplated, return to step 4.
3. Select synchronised defibrillation via the touch screen
(1).
4. The setting
ON
(
2
) is displayed below the Sync label.
5. Check ECG rhythm:
– the QRS beep sounds
– the trigger pulses above the R-wave
6. Select the desired energy with the +/- button.
7. Charge the desired energy with the button
Charge.
As soon the defibrillator is ready for shock an audio signal sounds and the LED
below the shock button is on.
You have now 20 seconds to work through the points 8
to
10, before the internal
safety discharge is activated because of exceeding the time limit.
8. Check ECG curve,
SYNC
(1) ON
and energy setting
.

If an unsynchronized shock is required while in synchronized mode, it is possible at
any time to switch the synchronized mode to OFF and deliver the shock immediately
(unsynchronized).
