.
NOTE: Once the reason for the Pacing Stopped alarm has been resolved, that part of the alarm message is
removed from the display. The audio alarm continues. Press the
 soft key to resume
pacing, remove the remainder of the alarm text from the display and silence the audio alarm.
WARNING: Observe the patient closely while pacing. Heart rate displays and alarms function during pacing but
can be unreliable. Do not rely on the indicated heart rate or heart rate alarms as a measure of the
patient’s perfusion status.
Troubleshooting
If your Efficia DFM100 does not operate as expected during pacing, see “Defibrillation and Pacing
Problems” on page 186.
