FRED easy
• Followed by a new
analysis
Once the CPR cycle has been finished, the device prompts the user to run a new ECG
analysis (in semi-automatic mode).
In automatic as well as semi-automatic mode (with automatic analysis activated), this
new analysis starts without any intervention required of the user.
If the device again detects a shockable rhythm, it will automatically charge the defi-
brillation energy necessary for the 2nd or 3rd shock. For all subsequent shocks, the
energy remains the same for the 3
rd
shock.
The energy levels can be configured by SCHILLER's customer service (see
).
• Successful shock
followed by CPR
After a successful shock (no further shocks advised by the ECG analysis),
FRED easy®
prompts the user to perform CPR.
No shock advised
The device has not detected a shockable rhythm.
If the analysis algorithm does not detect a shockable rhythm, the
FRED easy®
in-
forms the user that no shock is necessary and prompts him or her to perform CPR.
Finishing the therapy
Once the therapy has been finished, the defibrillation pads must be removed from the
patient's chest and disconnected from the device. The defibrillation pads are not re-
usable.
The device can then be switched off by pressing and holding the green button
for
3 seconds.
According to the configuration of the device, the user may be asked to check the pres-
ence of pulse before performing the CPR cycle.
