DefiMonitor XD 21324 / GB / K05
Once the capacitor is charged, power for the defibrillation pulse is available for 15 seconds.
This is signalled by a continuous acoustic warning, the voice message
< Stand clear of patient. Deliver shock now >,
signalled by a continuous beep and the trigger button lighting up green. If you do not
defibrillate within this period, an internal safety discharge will follow and the ECG will be
analysed again.
Turn on green lit trigger key to give shock.
Hold the button pressed until the shock has been administered. Avoid contact with the jacks on
the device during defibrillation.
Pressing the trigger key during power charging (before it turns green) does not
result in release of shock, rather it leads to internal safety discharge.
Before pressing the trigger button, disconnect all equipment which is not
defibrillation-proof from the patient!
Before and during energy discharge, all persons involved in reanimation
must step clear of the patient and avoid touching the patient or
conductive objects (e. g. parts of the stretcher)!
After defibrillation, the device once again undertakes cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
cycle, before carrying out renewed analysis. The CPR time is shown on the PRIMEDIC™
DefiMonitor in the form of a display bar.
The charge time of the capacitor for defibrillation depends on the available battery capacity.
Charging may take longer if the power module is partly discharged.
If a fault occurs during capacitor charging, an intermittent warning signal is sounded
and the device automatically carries out internal discharge of the capacitor.
When the message < Charge battery >, the device still has enough
energy for at least 3 discharges at maximum power. The power module
should be replaced immediately once this message appears.
If, when the device is switched on, for 10 minutes no ECG is done, no SpO
2
signal
is recorded or no button is pressed, the device automatically switches off. Approx.
30 seconds before the switch-off this is signalised by an interrupted warning tone.
Pressing any button will abort the switching off process.
