5. To start the charging process, press the Charge key.
The charging process takes a maximum of 5 seconds depending on the
selected energy setting.
6. Wait until the message Ready for shock is displayed on the screen and
the ready-signal is sounding. The device is ready for releasing a
defibrillation shock.
7. Keep the Shock key depressed until the shock is delivered to perform
defibrillation or cardioversion.
8. If the shock has been released successfully, the message Shock
performed is shown.
9. Continue with the standardised or locally valid resuscitation protocol.
With the introduction of the corPatch easy pre-connected therapy electrodes
(P/N 05120.1), for adults (P/N 04324.3) and Pediatric (P/N 05120.1) the higher
limits for the body weight of patients have been set. The manufacturer assures
that also the previously supplied therapy electrodes corPatch easy Neonate
(P/N 04324.2) can be used for defibrillations with an energy level of up to
100 Joule maximum and up to a body weight of 25 kg. The operational safety
as well as medical effectiveness of the therapy electrodes is guaranteed.
The CPR rhythm can be supported acoustically by activating the metronome via
the softkey [Metronome].
If the jog dial is pressed in manual defibrillation mode, the energy selection at
the monitoring unit is only possible via the softkeys. Press the Manual key
again, to be able to select the energy level with the jog dial.
The selected energy level is available for 30 seconds after charging. If no shock
is triggered within this time span, the device discharges itself internally.
5.4.3 Manual Defibrillation and Cardioversion with
Shock Paddles
When using shock paddles, the ECG is obtained via the shock paddles pressed
to the patient's thorax (indicated as DE). Via additionally attached ECG
electrodes and the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable, further leads can be displayed
in the configurable second curve field (see chapter 6.2 ECG Monitoring,
page 95).
Obtaining the ECG via the ECG electrodes and the 4-pole ECG monitoring
cable (as explained in the following) assures a better signal quality than via the
shock paddles.
1. To start the manual defibrillation mode, press the Manual key.
2. Prepare the patient (see chapter 5.2 Preparing the Patient for Defibrillation,
Cardioversion and Pacer Therapy, page 67).
3. Place all four ECG electrodes of the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable on the
patient (see chapter 6.2 ECG Monitoring, page 95).
4. Completely wet the electrode surfaces of the shock paddles with
defibrillation electrode gel.
