automatically starts after voice
instruction is given when no shock is
advised (NSA).
*
If the user presses the i-button for
optional CPR coaching, the OnSite
provides coaching for 5 cycles of
CPR, starting and ending with
compressions, when the CPR
Coaching parameters are also set to
their default values. The number of
CPR cycles varies for other NSA
pause timer and CPR Coaching
parameter settings.
NOTE: Because the NSA pause ends
upon completion of a CPR cycle in order
to maximize the benefits of CPR, the
actual duration of the pause may differ
slightly from the timer setting.
