GS corpuls3 - Defibrillation in AED Mode with Corpatch Electrodes

Operation – Therapy User Manual corpuls

70 ENG - Version 2.1 – P/N 04130.2
WARNING
If the network configuration of the corpuls
3
is modified during ECG analysis
in AED mode (change from a wireless radio connection to a mechanical
connection or vice versa), the ECG analysis will be interrupted.
The ECG analysis must be restarted in this case.
WARNING
Equipment which is not defibrillation proof must be disconnected from
patients during defibrillation.
WARNING
When a defibrillation is performed, all necessary ECG cables have to be
connected to the patient box at all times and all electrodes have to be
attached to the patient. If the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable and the
complementary 6-pole diagnostic cable are not used in a defibrillation, they
have to be disconnected from the patient box.
WARNING
In defibrillation mode, no physiological alarms are indicated or saved.
Technical alarms are signalled acoustically and visually.
5.3.2 Defibrillation in AED mode with
corPatch
Electrodes
When using corPatch electrodes, the ECG is obtained and the analysis is
performed via the corPatch electrodes attached to the patient (indicated as
DE). An additional 4-pole ECG monitoring cable is not needed.
1. To start the AED mode, press the AED key.
2. Prepare the patient (see chapter 5.2 Preparing the Patient for Defibrillation,
Cardioversion and Pacer Therapy, page 67).
3. Check the electrode package for damage and check the expiry date.
4. Attach corPatch electrodes to the patient, as shown on the electrode
package.
5. If enabled, select the required energy level via the softkeys or the jog dial
(see chapter 7.4.3 Configuration of the Defibrillation Function (Persons
Responsible for the Device) , page 163).
6. To start the ECG analysis, press the Analyse key.
7. With the message "Deliver shock" and the ready-signal, the device
indicates that the defibrillation can be performed.
8. To perform defibrillation, keep the Shock key depressed until the shock
has been delivered.
9. If the shock has been released successfully, the message Shock
performed is shown.
10. The message Shock not recommended indicates that the defibrillation
cannot be performed and that the Shock key is locked.
11. Continue with the standardised or locally valid resuscitation protocol.
12. The message Start analysis indicates that the Analyse key should be
pressed again to perform an ECG analysis.
