5 Semiautomatic Defibrillation
Safety Information
In addition to the defibrillation guidelines set forth
in chapter 4, please observe the following
information: Failure to do so may compromise the
success of the defibrillation or endanger the
patient's life.
Warning
-
Semiautomatic defibrillation is only permitted
for patients with a body weight of at least
35 kg, who are unconscious, have no respira-
tion and no pulse.
-
Although the arrhythmia detection algorithm
yields good results, we cannot entirely exclude
false analysis in specific situations. Therefore
the user is obliged to make certain that the
conditions for use of a semiautomatic defi-
brillator are met:
unconsciousness, no respiration, no pulse.
For the same reason, the user is entirely re-
sponsible for delivery of the defibrillation
shock.
-
Do not use the anterior-posterior electrode
placement.
-
In the semiautomatic mode, the defibrillator
cannot deliver synchronized shocks.
-
For semiautomatic defibrillation, do not
analyze the ECG during HF surgical inter-
ventions.
Caution
-
When used on pacemaker patients, the device
may fail to make correct recommendations for
delivery of a shock. Defibrillate pacemaker
patients following the guidelines applicable in
your institution.
-
During ECG analysis interrupt CPR meas-
ures, do not touch the patient and ensure that
the patient does not move. Otherwise artifacts
may adversely influence the analysis.
-
In the semiautomatic mode, defibrillator
charging cannot be initiated manually.
