6 Attach the multifunction defib electrodes to the electrode adapter cable. The
electrodes are correctly connected when the locking ring is twisted, locking the
ears of the connector to the adapter cable.
7 Turn the Energy Select control to the Monitor On position.
•If the message NO PADDLES is displayed, check that the pads adapter cable con-
nector is properly seated and latched.
•If the message PADS OFF is displayed, check the electrodes connection to the
patient and to the electrode adapter cable.
8 Press Pacer On to set up the pacer. Pacer parameters will now be displayed at
the bottom of the display (PACER STOP, DEMAND MODE, 70 PPM 30
MA). The rate (ppm) and output (mA) settings for when the pacer is turned on
can be selected in Setup Menu 1. The original rate and output settings from the
factory are 70 ppm and 30mA. The pacer is always in Demand mode when it is
turned on.
At this point, no pacer pulses are being delivered to the patient. The pacer must be
started before the pacer pulses are delivered at the selected rate (ppm) and output
(mA).
If the pacing mode is ON and the configuration settings are altered, the user can
move in and out of pacing (provided the defibrillator is not shut off) and the settings
will not revert back to the factory default. For example, if the user is pacing, then
shocking, then pacing again, the pacing mode will return to the last pacing
configuration before shocking. If the defibrillator is turned off after pacing is
configured, then when pacing is turned on again, the settings will return to the
factory default.
9 Press Lead Select to select the best lead for monitoring while pacing. You can
only select Leads as the ECG source when the pacer is on.
•If LEADS OFF is displayed, check all patient cable connections.
10 Press Rate to adjust the rate. The monitor displays the selected rate (ppm).
11 Press Mode to select the pacing mode (demand mode/fixed mode). The monitor
displays the selected mode.
