ready for operation. Additional tone signals are
described below.
The messages that appear on the monitor depend upon
the function the unit is performing, the mode selected,
and the ECG information from the patient.
The unit alternately displays two different messages in
the same field of the display when two conditions are
detected at the same time. For example, a LOW
BATTERY message may alternately display on the same
line of the monitor as the CHECK PADS prompt.
The upper portion of the display indicates operator
prompts and error messages. The center portion of the
display indicates approximately 4 seconds of ECG trace.
The lower portion of the display indicates the energy
levels selected, the number of shocks delivered during
the incident, softkey function labels, and the elapsed
time (if enabled). Additional unit status information is
also displayed on the monitor.
When elapsed time is enabled, this feature indicates the
elapsed time since the unit was first turned on. It is
displayed in the lower left corner. The elapsed time is
displayed in MM:SS format up to 99:59. If the unit is on
for over 100 minutes, the elapsed time rolls over to 0.
The elapsed time is maintained for up to 10 seconds
after power down. This gives you adequate time to
change the unit’s battery without resetting the elapsed
time.
Audio and Display Messages
The following messages can occur during
Semiautomatic operation to guide you through the
cardiac event.
Note: Messages with an asterisk (*) are accompanied
by a voice prompt.
• ATTACH PADS*
This prompt appears if the unit is powered on without
MFE Pads or ECG leads attached.
• PRESS ANALYZE*
This prompt appears under the following conditions:
•
After the unit is charged, but no shock was
delivered.
• 70 seconds (subject to the length of the CPR
interval and whether or not CHECK PULSE is
displayed) after completion of an analysis with a
NO SHOCK ADVISED outcome, if the unit is
configured to auto analyze 3 times.
• 70 seconds (subject to the length of the CPR
interval and whether or not CHECK PULSE is
displayed) after delivery of the third shock in three-
analyses sequence, if the unit is configured to
auto analyze 3 times.
• ANALYZING ECG/STAND CLEAR*
These messages appear after pressing the
ANALYZE button. They indicate that an active ECG
analysis is in progress.
• ECG TOO LARGE/RETRY ANALYSIS
These messages appear when the ECG signal is too
large for proper rhythm analysis. Press the
ANALYZE button again to begin ECG analysis.
• ANALYSIS HALTED
This message appears when the unit has detected a
problem during ECG analysis. Check connections
and press the ANALYZE button again.
• CHARGING XXXJ
This message appears when ECG analysis is still in
progress and a potentially shockable rhythm has
been detected. The current charge level and a
message that the unit is charging are displayed.
• SHOCK ADVISED/CHARGING XXXJ
These messages appear when ECG analysis has
determined that a shockable rhythm exists and
defibrillation is advised. The selected charge level
has not yet been reached. The current charge level
and a message that the unit is charging are
displayed.
• SHOCK ADVISED/XXXJ READY
This message appears when ECG analysis has
determined that a shockable ECG rhythm is present,
the unit has charged, and the selected energy is
ready to be delivered.
• PRESS SHOCK*
This prompt appears when ECG analysis has
determined that a shock is advised and the selected
energy is ready to be delivered.
• RELEASE SHOCK
This message appears when the SHOCK button is
pressed during charging (before the DEFIB XXX J
READY message). The unit beeps when this
message appears. If the SHOCK button remains
depressed for 15 seconds after the ready tone
begins, the unit disarms itself. If the SHOCK button is
released before 15 seconds has elapsed, the PRESS
SHOCK prompt appears and the shock can be
delivered.
• SHOCKS: XX
This message indicates the number of shocks that
have been delivered by the unit since power on. This
value is reset to 0 after the unit has been off for more
than 10 seconds. (This 10 second delay allows
replacing a battery without resetting the shock count.)
• NO SHOCK ADVISED*
This message appears and continues for 10 seconds
when ECG analysis determines that a non-shockable
rhythm is detected following completion of the
analysis. Press the ANALYZE button to start another
ECG analysis
• CHECK PULSE*
