CHAPTER 3MANUAL DEFIBRILLATION
3–10 www.zoll.com 9650-0912-06 Rev. G
Note: If the defibrillator is not discharged within 60 seconds after reaching the selected
energy level, the unit automatically disarms itself.
During the 10 seconds prior to disarming, the charge ready tone beeps intermittently. The
charge ready tone then stops, the SHOCK button light goes off, and the monitor message
changes to DEFIB XXXJ SEL. Press the CHARGE button to recharge the unit.
Once the energy is delivered, the display simultaneously shows XXXJ DELIVERED and DEFIB
XXXJ SEL. After approximately 5 seconds, the XXXJ DELIVERED message disappears and the
DEFIB XXXJ SEL. message remains to indicate the selected energy level.
Autoclavable Electrodes
ZOLL Autoclavable Internal Handles are designed for use with a manually operated ZOLL
defibrillator to defibrillate the heart during open chest procedures. Two types of Autoclavable
Internal Handles are available:
• Molded Autoclavable Internal handles with integrated electrode spoons
• Autoclavable Internal Handles with removable internal defibrillation electrodes
When these internal handles are used, the R Series defibrillator can operate only in Manual
mode even if the unit supports Advisory mode. When an internal handle set is connected to the
R Series, it automatically limits energy output to a maximum of 50 joules.
For step-by-step procedures for open chest defibrillation as well as important cleaning and
sterilization information, refer to the Autoclavable Internal Handle and Electrode Operator’s
Guide.
