Defibrillating a Patient
2-8
To defibrillate a patient internally, using the switched paddles, perform the following
steps.
1 Select correct paddle set size from Table 2-2, “Switched Internal Paddles Selec-
tion,” on page 2-9.
2 Attach the switched internal paddles cable to the paddle connector on the front
of the defibrillator.
3 Slide the paddle connector lock towards the front of the defibrillator to secure
the cable.
4 Set the Energy Select control to the desired energy.
If the energy switch is set to a level greater than 50 joules, 50J MAXIMUM will be
displayed. If is pressed, the unit will only charge to 50 joules.
For safety and sterility when using the paddles, do not touch the
paddle beyond the fingerguard on the handle.
