LIFEPAK 20/20e Defibrillator/Monitor Modes of Operation
AED Mode
In AED mode (the default setting), the device automatically evaluates the patient
rhythm to determine if a shock is needed and prompts the user to press the
SHOCK button to deliver a shock.
The device can be reconfigured to turn on in manual mode, if desired.
To set options for AED mode, display the
SETUP menu and select AED MODE.
AED mode options include energy protocol, voice prompts, ECG display, CPR
time, and others. For a complete description of the options available, refer to the
Defining Setup Options section in the operating instructions.
Note: If configured to turn on in AED mode, opening the door on the device
turns off AED mode and places the device in manual mode. Closing the
door does not restart AED mode operation. To restart AED mode, press
ANALYZE or cycle the device power.
