depending on the PULSE PROMPT setting. The choices for PULSE CHECK are: ALWAYS,
AFTER EVERY NSA, AFTER SECOND NSA , and NEVER . The default setting is NEVER .
• The ALWAYS option prompts for a pulse check after CPR TIME 1 and 2 , after a NO SHOCK
ADVISED decision, after a single SHOCK ADVISED decision with STACKED SHOCKS OFF , or
after three consecutive SHOCK ADVISED decisions if STACKED SHOCKS is ON .
• The AFTER EVERY NSA option prompts for a pulse check after every NO SHOCK ADVISED
decision.
• The AFTER SECOND NSA option prompts for a pulse check after the second analysis if the
second analysis results in a NO SHOCK ADVISED decision, regardless of the first analysis
decision ( SHOCK ADVISED or NO SHOCK ADVISED ).
