7. Select the required energy level with the jog dial or via the softkeys.
8. To start the charging process, briefly press one of the shock paddle buttons.
The charging process takes a maximum of 5 seconds depending on the
selected energy setting.
9. 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.
10. Keep both shock paddle buttons depressed and hold until a shock has
been released. By pressing the buttons a confirmative tone sounds.
11. If the shock has been released successfully, the message Shock
performed is shown.
12. Continue with the standardised or locally valid resuscitation protocol.
By short circuiting the shock paddles the energy selection via the shock paddle
buttons is enabled. This function enables the energy selection with the jog dial
in 5 J increments. With the baby shock electrodes attached, this energy
selection is not possible.
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 jog dial is blocked
and 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.
For safety reasons, when using shock paddles, the keys Charge and Shock on
the monitoring unit are blocked. The charging and release of the defibrillation
shock can only be triggered via the shock paddle buttons.
