DefiMonitor XD 21324 / GB / K05
9.2 Carrying out ECG analysis in Auto mode
If the defibrillation electrodes have been applied, the device will automatically start the
analysis. Automatic analysis can only be carried out via the self-adhesive defibrillation
electrodes (SavePads).
Now the patient has to be put in an immobile position and may no longer be touched.
The device issues the instruction:
< Do not touch the patient, analysing rhythm >
The algorithm of the device programming now checks the ECG for a shockable rhythm. This
process can take up to 12 seconds. If the device detects ventricular fibrillation (VF), it
recommends defibrillation.
Take care that during the analysis phase, the Auto switch is not continuously
pressed as otherwise safety shutdown of the equipment is effected.
Observe the patient during the entire reanimation.
It is possible at any time that the patient may regain consciousness and
does not need to be defibrillated.
If that is the case, do not carry out the defibrillation under any
circumstances.
The rhythm identification detector continuously analyses the ECG in the background, even
after a rhythm in need of defibrillation has been identified. If a rhythm which does not require
defibrillation is detected while the capacitor is charging or when the required charge is already
pending, internal safety discharge is triggered.
9.3 Defibrillation required
If the device has detected VF, it recommends defibrillation and automatically makes the
necessary preparations.
The device issues the instruction:
< Shock advised >
< Device is charging >
< Do not touch the patient >
< Device is charging >
< Do not touch the patient >
