Defibrillator Pulse Playback
The Analyzer allows the user to play the defibrillator pulse waveform for the
purpose of analysis. Playback is accomplished using a strip recorder or
defibrillator monitor through the ECG jacks or scope output. The waveform
can also be reviewed on an oscilloscope through the high-level ECG outputs.
To play back the defibrillator pulse:
1. Power up the defibrillator and the Analyzer.
2. From Main Menu 1, press the ENRG softkey to access the Energy
menu, and press the WAV> softkey to access the WAV submenu.
3. Connect the ECG patient leads to the Analyzer as shown in Figure 2-7.
4. After the defibrillator discharges, press the PLAY softkey. The last
defibrillator pulse is replayed.
Viewing Oscilloscope Output
The Analyzer provides two banana jacks for real-time viewing on an
oscilloscope with storage capability
To view the output on an oscilloscope, carry out the steps under each of the
subheadings, below:
Preparation for Viewing
1. Connect the Oscilloscope to the Analyzer, using a banana plug and a
scope probe to ensure signal integrity, as indicated:
• Ground – Attach the ground from the scope probe to the common
(black) jack on the Analyzer.
• Output – Attach the positive lead of the scope probe to the
defibrillator output.
