Converting To Manual Mode (R Series Plus Model ONLY)
-
Depending on how your facility configures the device, you can convert the R Series Plus in to Man-
ual Mode by one of the two ways:
1. Press the Manual Mode Key (bottom left corner)
2. Press the Manual Mode key, and then the Confirm Key (bottom right corner)
Defibrillation Mode- Red Zone- (Simulator should be turned to “VT HI”)
-Can be used as AED or Manual Defib
-AED (Automated External Defibrillator)
1. Turn to DEFIB mode,
2. Press “ANALYZE”,
3. Upon a shockable rhythm, the “SHOCK” button will illuminate red,
clear, press shock.
-Auto Escalation- The device will increase the energy automatically
-Energy will start at 120J, then to 150J, then to 200J for Adult Patients
-Energy for Pediatrics starts at 50J, 70J, 85J
-Energy Select Key- Changes energy level
Note: if you manually change the energy, you will have to manually change it
again for the next energy level/shock
-Manual Mode- To do a Manual Defibrillation
1. ENERGY SELECT
2. CHARGE
3. SHOCK
CPR Sensor, Compressions, and Feedback
CPR Sensor: Is built in to the pad
CPR Feedback: Lets us know how we are doing with our compressions based on RATE,
DEPTH, and RECOIL
Idle Timer: Will display after 3 seconds on inactivity in the “Purple” Zone of the monitor.
Rate and Depth Numerical Values: Will display once you start compressions.
Release Bar: Checks the status of your release and recoil off the chest. Full Bar=Great!
Diamond/PPI (Perfusion Performance Index): Mimics
perfusion pressure and will begin to fill up.
What we want to see:
1. Rate (compressions per minute) 100-120 CPM
2. Depth: At least 2.0-2.4 inches for adults
3. Recoil: Release Bar needs to be full
-Scenario 1) Not doing fast compressions to proper rate
-The device will begin to sound. Match the metronome to get back to the right rate of 100cpm.
-Scenario 2) Not going deep enough
-The device will say “Push Harder” to get you above 2 inches in depth.
Positive Confirmation: Once you have sufficient depth, the device will say “Good Compressions”.
