11. Check the ECG curve, and that the triangles match the R
waves.
When doing so, please note:
• The ECG curve must be stable.
• The triangles must be present.
• The position of the triangles must match the position of
the R waves.
• The triangles must not be displaced from heartbeat to
heartbeat.
• The triangles must mark every R wave reliably.
12. Press the Charge function button.
The charge progress bar appears. A rising charging tone
sounds until the device is ready to deliver the shock. When the
device is charged, a sequence of tones sounds which signals
shock standby and the shock button flashes.
13. To cancel shock charging: Cancel shock charging by pressing
the Cancel function button or by switching to another mode.
14. Check the ECG leads to see whether cardioversion is still
indicated.
Risk of injury due to shock being delivered at the wrong time
during cardioversion!
A cardioversion carried out at the wrong time may lead to cardiac
arrhythmias and cause the patient severe or life-threatening injury.
 Ensure that the ECG is stable.
 Ensure that the device detects and marks R waves correctly in
the ECG.
Risk of injury from pacemaker pulses incorrectly detected as R
waves!
Pacemaker pulses may lead to the device interpreting them as R
waves and triggering a shock at the wrong time.
 Ensure that the device detects and marks R waves correctly in
the ECG.
