The charging process can be interrupted by pressing simultaneously both shock
paddle buttons briefly. Pressing one of the shock paddle buttons again,
continues the charging process.
Energy selection can be performed by connecting both electrode surfaces of the
shock paddles (short-circuiting). To decrease the energy, briefly press the
APEX shock paddle button. To increase the energy, briefly press the
STERNUM shock paddle button.
WARNING
Make sure that no defibrillation electrode gel gets into the insulation area
between the electrode surface and the handle.
Only use defibrillation electrode gel intended for this purpose.
WARNING
Press the shock paddles firmly onto the patient’s thorax when the shock is
triggered (approx. 8 kg contact pressure for adults).
Keep both shock paddle buttons depressed until the shock is delivered
5.4.4 Manual Defibrillation and Cardioversion with
Shock Spoons
WARNING
Before using the shock spoons, please read and understand the safety and
preparation notices in the manual (P/N 04137.02).
When using shock spoons, the ECG is obtained via the shock spoons pressed
to the patient's heart. It is, however, recommended to obtain the ECG via the 4-
pole ECG monitoring cable (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.
When using shock spoons, the energy available is limited by the device to a
maximum of 50 J.
1. To start the manual defibrillation mode, press the Manual key.
2. Place all four ECG electrodes of the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable on the
patient (see chapter 6.2 ECG Monitoring, page 95).
3. Screw sterile shock spoons of the correct size into the sterile shock spoon
holders.
4. Select the required energy level with the jog dial or via the softkeys and
confirm by pressing the jog dial.
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.
