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. Continue with the standardised or locally valid resuscitation protocol.
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.
5.4.5 Manual Defibrillation and Cardioversion of
Neonates and Children
WARNING
With the baby shock electrodes the defibrillation energy is automatically
reduced. The energy reduction is effected at a ratio of 1:10, i.e. one tenth of
the energy set in defibrillation mode
If, for example, an energy level of 200 J is selected, the shock is released
with an energy of just 20 J.
For the defibrillation and cardioversion of neonates and children, various types
of defibrillation electrodes are available:
• Baby shock electrodes (as adapters for shock paddles, up to 5 kg body
weight maximum)
• corPatch easy electrodes Neonates up to 12 kg body weight maximum
• corPatch easy electrodes Pediatric up to 25 kg body weight maximum
• corPatch easy electrodes for adults from 10 kg or 20 kg body weight
• corPatch easy electrodes pre-connected from 20 kg body weight
When using corPatch easy electrodes Neonates and Pediatric, the energy
available is limited by the device to a maximum of 100 J.
1. Please read and follow the instructions and warnings on the inner surface
of the baby shock electrodes.
