6 Operation
1. Deliver a shock with the shock button .
When doing so, please note:
• Up until the shock is triggered, the device continues
analyzing cardiac rhythm in the background and cancels
the shock if the analysis result is Shock not possible.
• If the shock button is not pressed, the shock capacitor
discharges automatically after 15 s.
• Only with the Print option: If the printer is connected to the
device and the Defibrillation report menu item is
activated (see “13.9 Printer settings (only with Printing
option)”, page 332), the printer automatically prints a
defibrillation report after shock delivery (see “6.16.4
Printing a defibrillation report”, page 201).
Result The patient has been given an electric shock. The shock energy
corresponds to the settings in the operator menu. When the device
is supplied, the device settings are as follows:
The device guides you through CPR by means of voice prompts,
AED instructions, and the metronome (see “ Carrying out CPR”,
page 135). It warns you again to stand clear of the patient after the
preset time has elapsed (120 s when device supplied), to allow it to
carry out another cardiac rhythm analysis.
Failure of therapy due to defibrillation electrodes accidentally
coming loose during shock delivery!
Defibrillation electrodes accidentally coming loose during shock
delivery may lead to damage to the device and thus to the failure
of treatment. This may injure the patient.
Ensure that the defibrillation electrodes are always connected
to the device during shock delivery.
