AED Mode
• If Enable Metronome is set to Always or AED Mode Only, the metronome is active when
chest compressions are first detected during the CPR interval.
• If set to Never, the metronome is silent.
Analysis/CPR Protocol or Manual Mode
• If Enable Metronome is set to Always, the metronome is active only when the reported
compression rate falls below 80 cpm during the CPR period. If the chest compression sensor
is connected, the metronome is suspended after compressions have not been detected for at
least 2 seconds.
• If set to Never or AED Mode Only, the metronome is silent.
The following table indicates when the CPR metronome is active.
FULLY RELEASE Prompt
The X Series unit can be configured to display the text prompt FULLY RELEASE, which
instructs rescuers to lift (fully release) their hands from the patient’s chest after compressions to
allow full recoil. This prompt occurs 45 seconds into the CPR interval.
The
FULLY RELEASE text prompt is only available when using Adult CPR electrodes.
