Monitoring Rhythm

When the HeartStart XLT is not analyzing, defibrillating, or paused, Rhythm
Monitoring alerts you to potentially shockable rhythms (provided Rhythm
Monitoring is set to the default configuration,

2Q). The message 0RQLWRULQJ

5K\WKP appears on the display to let you know this feature is active and
remains on the display for the duration of the monitoring.

WARNING

The recommended configuration setting for Rhythm Monitoring is On. If Rhythm
Monitoring is off, you are not alerted when a patient’s rhythm changes from non-
shockable to shockable (as in refibrillation or an initially nonshockable rhythm that
converts to a shockable rhythm).
