6.6 Semi-automatic defibrillation in AED
mode with defibrillation electrodes
The defibrillation sequence in AED mode described here
corresponds to the device settings as delivered. The operator menu
enables you to adapt the device to users’ qualification level and to
provide optimal support to users during resuscitation measures
whilst taking regional features into account.
Requirement • A charged battery is inserted in the device.
• The device is switched on (see “6.1 Switching on the device”,
page 118).
• A patient group is selected (see “6.4 Selecting patient group”,
page 120).
• Shock delivery via defibrillation electrodes is prepared (see
“6.5.1 Preparing for shock delivery using defibrillation
electrodes”, page 122).
Risk of injury due to unsuitable AED analysis algorithm in
children below one year of age!
The device's AED analysis algorithm is not designed for children
below one year of age and may result in injury to the child.
Do not use AED mode on children below one year of age.
Risk of injury due to use of paddles in AED mode!
Shocks cannot be delivered using paddles in AED mode. This may
result in injury to the patient.
Only use defibrillation electrodes in AED mode.
Risk of injury due to missing battery!
Operation with line power without a battery prevents the device
being fully ready for use as the shock capacitor in the device
cannot charge. This prevents shock delivery and delays the
patient’s treatment.
Only operate the device with the battery inserted.
