Semiautomatic Defibrillation

In semiautomatic mode, the AED Pro unit analyzes the patient’s ECG rhythm to determine
whether it is shockable or not. If a shock is needed, follow the text and voice prompts to
defibrillate the patient.

WARNING!

During ECG analysis, do not touch or move the patient. If conveying the patient in a
vehicle or stretcher, cease all patient movement.

After an ECG analysis resulting in delivery of a shock, or after any no-shock-advised result, the
unit initiates a period of CPR.

Note:

If the AED Pro unit is configured to use a two or three shock sequence, the unit
initiates a period of CPR after two episodes of ECG analysis and shock (two shock
sequence) or three successive episodes of ECG analysis and shock (three shock
sequence), or after a no-shock-advised result.

In semiautomatic mode, the screen shows the shock count, elapsed time, ECG size, ECG
rhythm, and text messages.

If CPR-D•padz or CPR stat•padz are attached to the patient, the screen includes a chest
compression gauge that shows the depth of each chest compression as detected by the CPR
sensor.

The rhythm recognition detector continues analyzing the ECG after detecting a
shockable rhythm and the defibrillator is charged and ready but will not bring the
unit into a state where defibrillation is prohibited.
