To defibrillate the patient in semiautomatic mode:
Step Action Result
1 Press and release the On/Off button to turn
on the unit. On successful completion of the power-on
self-test, the unit indicates the type of
attached electrodes. If the defibrillation
pads are not attached to the patient, the
unit issues the voice and text prompt:
ATTACH DEFIB PADS TO PATIENT’S
BARE CHEST
2 If prompted, apply defibrillation electrode
pads to the patient.
(Refer to “Applying Defibrillation Electrode
Pads” on page 3-2.)
When the pads are properly attached to the
patient, the unit issues the voice and text
message:
DON’T TOUCH PATIENT, ANALYZING
and then begins ECG analysis.
3 Allow the unit to analyze the patient’s ECG. The unit determines whether or not the
patient has a shockable rhythm and then
displays and voices its recommendation:
SHOCK ADVISED
or
NO SHOCK ADVISED
4 After ECG analysis, which message
appears?
— If SHOCK ADVISED, continue with step 5.
— If NO SHOCK ADVISED, go to step 8.
If a shock is needed, the defibrillator
automatically begins charging.
If a shock is not needed, the unit prompts
you to perform CPR.
5 Wait for the defibrillator to charge. When fully charged, the unit emits a
charge-ready tone, repeatedly flashes the
Shock button, and issues the voice and
text prompts:
DON’T TOUCH PATIENT
PRESS FLASHING SHOCK BUTTON
