About Manual Mode
In manual mode, you must evaluate the patient’s rhythm to determine whether or not it is
shockable. If a shock is required, you manually charge the defibrillator to the preselected
energy level.
Once the defibrillator is fully charged, the Shock button begins flashing. The unit also emits a
charge-ready tone to indicate that the defibrillator is ready to deliver a shock. The tone is
continuous for the first 50 seconds and then sounds intermittently for 10 seconds more. Press
the Shock button to deliver therapy.
If you do not deliver a shock within this 60-second period, the defibrillator automatically
disarms itself. To recharge the defibrillator, you must press the CHARGE softkey again.
WARNING! During shock delivery, do not touch the patient or any other equipment connected to
the patient. A severe shock can result. To avoid unwanted pathways for defibrillation
current, do not allow exposed portions of the patient’s body to touch metal objects, such
as a bed frame.
In manual mode, the screen shows the shock count, elapsed time, mode (MANUAL), heart rate,
heartbeat symbol, ECG size, ECG rhythm, text messages, and the label CHARGE or
DISARM above the left softkey.
