9 - 4 Defibrillator/Monitor Operator’s Manual
9.5.2 Fixed Mode Pacing
To pace in fixed mode pacing:
1. Switch the Mode Select knob to Pacer.
2. Use the Navigation knob to select [Fixed Mode], then press the Navigation knob.
3. If ECG electrodes are applied, press the Lead Select button on the front panel to select the desired lead.
4. Use the Navigation knob to adjust the pacer rate, then press the Navigation knob in. If necessary, select
initial pacer output.
5. Press the [Start Pacing] soft key to start pacing. The message “Pacing” appears in the pacer information
area.
6. Verify that white pace markers appear on the ECG waveform.
7. Adjust pacer output. Increase pacer output until cardiac capture occurs (capture is indicated by the
appearance of a QRS complex after each pace marker), and then decrease the output to the lowest level
that still maintains capture.
8. Verify the presence of a peripheral pulse.
You can temporarily withhold pace pulse and observe the patient’s underlying rhythm by pressing and holding
the [4:1] soft key. This causes pace pulse to be delivered at 1/4 of the defined pacer rate. To resume pacing at set
rate, release this key.
To stop pacing, press the [Stop Pacing] soft key.
• Use care when handling the electrode pads on the patient to avoid shock hazard during pacing.
• If you are using the pacing function with battery power and the Low Battery alarm is presented,
connect the equipment to external power or install a fully charged battery.
• The monitoring or pacing function may be unstable in the presence of ESU or other electronic
devices.
