CAUTION
Prior to using this defibrillator, disconnect from the patient all equipment that is not
defibrillator-protected.
NOTE
Impedance is the resistance between the defibrillator’s pads that the defibrillator must overcome to
deliver an effective discharge of energy. The degree of impedance differs from patient to patient and is
affected by several factors including the presence of chest hair, moisture, and lotions or powders on the
skin. If the “Impedance too high. Shock Removed” message appears, make sure that the patient’s skin has
been washed and dried and that any chest hair has been clipped. If the message persists, change the pads.
6.3 Manual Defibrillation View
A typical screen in Manual Defib mode is shown below.
In manual defibrillation mode, an ECG waveform and related parameters are displayed. In the middle of the screen,
synchronous icon, prompt message, selected energy, and a shock counter are displayed.
In manual defibrillation mode, you can perform the following operations:
Press [Enter CPR] soft key to enter CPR mode.
Press [Energy -] or [Energy +] soft keys to adjust the energy for defibrillation shock. You can accelerate the
selection by pressing and holding either of the buttons. If pads are not properly connected, the two soft keys are
disabled.
Press [Charge] soft key to charge.
Press [>>] soft key to display more options.
