USING INTERNAL PADDLES (SPOONS)
To defibrillate using internal paddles:
WARNING: Shock Hazard – Always switch off the device before exchanging the defibrillation electrodes and internal
spoons.
NOTE: If you are using internal electrodes with the Responder 2000, defibrillator charging and shock delivery
must be initiated with corresponding buttons on the front panel of the Responder 2000.
NOTE: The selectable energy when using internal paddles is as follows: 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 50 Joules
NOTE: Internal defibrillation is only allowed in Manual Mode!
If Semi-Auto Mode is selected while spoons are attached, the Responder 2000 will automatically switch to
Manual Mode.
1. Setup internal paddles according to instructions supplied with them.
2. Connect the internal paddles to the paddle dock on the back of the Responder 2000.
3. Apply paddles to the patient’s heart.
Spoon-shaped electrodes are used for internal defibrillation. Their contact surface must match the dimensions of the
heart. The spoons must make full contact with the heart. There is a choice of 3 different spoon sizes. You can use either
two spoon electrodes or one spoon electrode and one external counter electrode for defibrillation.
Sterilize internal electrodes before each use (see section “Maintenance & Service”).
