2 Press ANALYZE Button
WARNING! Keep patient motionless during ECG analysis. Do not touch the patient during analysis.
Cease all movement via stretcher or vehicle before analyzing the ECG.
Press the ANALYZE button to begin the analysis of the patient’s ECG rhythm and to determine
if a shockable rhythm is present.
An ANALYZING ECG message is displayed for 6 to 12 seconds while the patient’s ECG is
analyzed. Once the analysis is completed, the unit indicates whether or not a shock is advised.
The analysis normally consists of three consecutive 3-second ECG rhythm analyses. If at least
two of the three analyses determine that the patient has a shockable rhythm, the unit
automatically charges to the preconfigured energy level and prompts the operator to shock the
patient. If two or more of the three 3-second ECG analyses do not detect a shockable rhythm,
the unit alerts the operator that no shock is advised.
WARNING! ECG rhythm analysis does not warn of patient asystole, which is not a shockable
rhythm.
When a nonshockable rhythm is detected, the unit displays a NO SHOCK ADV. message.
Follow the local protocols to continue CPR or other life support, and re-analyze the ECG at
appropriate intervals.
