Figure 15-7. Buttons to deliver the shock
Caution
Equipment Damage — Do not trigger more than 3
consecutive test discharges (or internal safety
discharges) with the maximum energy of 360 J
with 15 minutes. Otherwise the device may reach
inadmissible high temperatures.
Note
If the shock is not delivered within 30 seconds of
charging, an internal safety discharge will be
initiated.
•
Now trigger the shock within 30 seconds. To do
so, simultaneously press the two buttons on the
paddles (or
and on the control panel,
when using adhesive pads) (Figure 15-7).
After the shock release, the audio signal stops and
the delivered energy is displayed for about 6
seconds. According to the requirements of the IEC
/ AAMI standards, this value must be between 306
and 414 Joules. At the same time, the defibrillator
prints a 14-second ECG strip (incl. history of 4
seconds), if this function is enabled.
If the discharge circuit is interrupted (electrodes
not properly inserted in their compartments, cable
defect), a safety discharge will be initiated 200 ms
after release of the test discharge.
•
Switch off the Marquette Responder® 3000
(energy selector to "Off").
Incorrect Shock Delivery, Error Messages
If the energy of the test discharge is not within the
specified limits, a defibrillation is possible all the
same (it is the user's decision whether or not to
employ the defibrillator). However, the device
must be immediately checked and repaired by a
service technician.
