Enable Leads Off
When set to “Yes” and ECG leads do not have proper contact with the patient or the cable is not
properly attached to the M Series unit, the ECG LEADS OFF message displays and a dashed
line displays in place of the ECG waveform. Yes is the default setting.
When set to “No” and ECG leads do not have proper contact with the patient or the cable is not
properly attached to the M Series unit, the POOR LEAD CONTACT message and the ECG
waveform display.
Caution: Use care when interpreting ECG waveforms when the POOR LEAD CONTACT
message displays, because the ECG waveform may include a significant amount of artifact.
Whenever possible, reattach the leads before interpreting the waveform.
Note: When using 12 Lead or Pacer mode, the M Series unit functions as if this
configuration were set to “Yes.”
NIBP Units
Sets the NIBP unit of measurement to mmHg or kPa.
NIBP Auto Interval Default
Sets the default for the amount of time between automatic measurements.
Trigger NIBP Meas on BP Alarm
When set to “Yes,” the M Series unit initiates a single additional blood pressure measurement
when any of the NIBP alarms trigger.
Trigger NIBP Meas on HR Alarm
When set to “Yes,” the M Series unit initiates a single blood pressure measurement when heart
rate/pulse rate alarm triggers.
NIBP First Inflate Pressure Default
Sets the default NIBP cuff inflation pressure (the pressure up to which the NIBP cuff inflates at
the beginning of each measurement).
Basic Auto Energy Escalation
When set to Yes, the unit automatically increments the defibrillation energy to the levels
specified in Energy Level: Shock 1, 2, 3 after each of the first two shocks and displays the
message “ENERGY INCREMENTED,” when both of the following are true:
• The defibrillator is in Manual mode
• The defibrillator has external paddles or pads attached
Manually changing the energy level outside the pre-programmed sequence and delivering a
shock disables this function until the unit is turned off for more than 10 seconds, then turned
back on.
This option increments the energy level regardless of Shock Advisory activation or status. It
does not work with internal handles.
For more information about the energy level settings, see the “Energy Level: Shock 1, 2, 3”
section of this manual.
