Manual Defibrillation

Energy Select

Observe the display and verify the selected energy is
appropriate. To change the energy setting use either pair
of up/down arrow buttons. One pair is located on the
front panel of the unit, the other pair is located on the
sternum paddle. The selected energy level will be shown
as “DEFIB XXXJ SEL.” on the display.

If the M Series unit is configured to do so, it
automatically sets the energy to the pre-configured
Energy Level: Shock 1, 2, 3 setting at power-up and after
each of the first two shocks. The “ENERGY
INCREMENTED” message displays when this occurs.
Manually changing the energy level outside the pre-
programmed sequence and delivering a shock disables
this function. This function is disabled when internal
spoons are connected. See the M Series Configuration
Guide for more details.

Note: Neonatal and Pediatric defibrillator energy levels

should be set based on site-specific clinical
protocols.

Charge Defibrillator

Press the CHARGE button on the front panel.

To increase or decrease the selected energy after the
CHARGE button has been pressed, use the defibrillator
energy select buttons on the front panel.

After charging to the selected energy, the SHOCK button
on the front panel will light. A distinctive charge ready
(continuous) tone sounds and the energy ready “DEFIB
XXXJ READY” message will be displayed. The
defibrillator is now ready.

Deliver SHOCK

Press and hold the SHOCK button on the front panel
until energy is delivered to the patient.

Once energy is delivered, the display will simultaneously
show “XXXJ DELIVERED” and “DEFIB XXXJ SEL.” After
approximately 5 seconds the “XXXJ DELIVERED”
message will disappear and the “DEFIB XXXJ SEL”
message remains to indicate the selected energy level.

Note: If the defibrillator is not discharged within

60 seconds after reaching the selected energy
level, the unit will automatically disarm itself.

During the ten seconds prior to disarming, the charge
ready tone will beep intermittently. The charge ready
tone will then stop, the SHOCK button light will go off,
and the displayed message will change to “DEFIB XXXJ
SEL.” Press the CHARGE button to recharge the unit.

CAUTION

Changing the selected energy while the unit is charging or
charged will cause the defibrillator to disarm itself. Press
the CHARGE button again to charge the unit.

Warn all persons in attendance of the patient to STAND
CLEAR prior to defibrillator discharge.

Do not touch the bed, patient, or any equipment
connected to the patient during defibrillation. A severe
shock can result. Do not allow exposed portions of the
patient's body to come in contact with metal objects,
such as a bed frame, as unwanted pathways for
defibrillation current may result.
