CHANGING PADS
The pads must be changed after a therapy sequence (defibrillation or one (1) hour of continuous pacing) is delivered.
Turn off pacing and make sure Channel 1 lead source is not “Pads”.
Exit Manual Mode or Semi-auto Shock before disconnecting pads.
Disconnect pad connector from the Responder 2000.
Remove pads from the patient
Prep skin and attach new pads to the patient, in a slightly different location to avoid irritation or burns.
Attach pad connector to Responder 2000.
Select desired mode from the Systems Menu.
PADS OFF NOTIFICATION
For the pads off notification, check the following:
• Check for proper skin preparation
• Check for adequate pad contact between the pad and the patient’s skin
• Check for expired / dry pads
• Check to see that the pads are properly connected the Responder 2000.
• Change pads
PADS SHORTED NOTIFICATION
Check to see if pads are placed too close to each other and, if so, separate the pads ensuring that there is enough
distance between the pads
Change pads
NOTE: Anterior / Posterior pads placement may alleviate a PADS SHORTED message.
NOTE: If impedance at the pads/paddles is too low to shock the patient, the ECG in the display will automatically
switch from pads/paddles ECG to ECG II, if this feature is activated from the settings. To go back to pads/paddles ECG
you have to switch back manually.
WARNING: Due to the unique impedance characteristics of the patient, the Responder 2000 may not be able to shock the
patient.
