AED Alarms
The SMART Analysis algorithm generates AED Defibrillation alarms for the conditions shown in
Tabl e 17. There are both audio and visual alerts, when turned on.
When monitoring a patient, the ST/AR ECG Monitoring Algorithm generates ECG alarms in AED
Mode, if turned on. See “Other Alarms in AED Mode” below.
For more information on alarms, see “Alarms” on page 36.
