Feature Description
Speaker This projects the voice instructions that lead you through the
defibrillation process.
Electrode indicators The electrode indicators flash red until the pads are applied to the
victim’s exposed chest. When the pads are successfully applied, the
indicators turn solid green and the defibrillator can perform an
analysis.
In addition, electrode indicators briefly flash when the defibrillator
performs an automatic self-test.
Blue plastic The plastic liner protects the conductive adhesive gel until the
electrode pads are used.
Electrode pads The electrode pads are applied to the victim’s exposed chest; they
transfer the defibrillation energy (shock) to the victim. The electrode
pads must be removed from the blue plastic before applying them to
the victim.
SHOCK button The SHOCK button is only provided on the semiautomatic model.
When pressed, this button delivers a shock to the victim. You cannot
deliver a shock to a victim unless the defibrillator instructs you to do
so.
Electrode connector The electrode connector is used to connect the electrode pads to
the defibrillator. To aid in victim transport, the connector can be
unplugged from the defibrillator and plugged into another AED or
defibrillator equipped for QUIK-COMBO electrodes.
