and START CPR, and illuminates the CPR-related graphics. A period of 2 minutes (depending upon
device configuration) is then allowed for rescuer CPR. Following this “CPR period”, the Fully
Automatic AED Plus automatically re-initiates a new ECG rhythm analysis.
The Fully Automatic AED Plus automatically adjusts defibrillation energy to adult or pediatric levels
based on the type of electrodes attached to the unit. In its factory default configuration, the unit delivers
the first three shocks at 120J, 150J, and 200J respectively in adult mode, and at 50J, 70J, and 85J in
pediatric mode. However, the device can be configured to deliver shocks at other energy levels, as long
as the setting for each successive shock is the same or greater than the setting for the preceding shock.
Shocks are delivered automatically; the heart icon (and associated LED) located in the center of the
graphical user interface will light up, and the unit will emit a loud tone when a shock is delivered.
Consult the Fully Automatic AED Plus Operator’s Guide for more details on the graphics included in
the unit’s graphic interface, the audio prompts issued at each step in the treatment protocol and the
rescuer action associated with these audio and visual prompts.
Loss of contact between the electrodes and the victim interrupts ECG analysis and/or shock delivery
until the electrodes are re-attached and results in a CHECK ELECTRODE PADS prompt to the operator.
