ZOLL M Series Defibrillator Rev YH - Manual (Page 25)

Operating Controls and Indicators
2-3
18. PC Card Modem Slot (12-Lead Option Only)
Holds the modem card for transmitting 12-Lead ECG
information to remote locations via landline or cellular
phone. See the 12-Lead ECG Monitoring insert (part
number 9650-0215-01) for more information.
Note: The modem slot is covered by a plastic bezel.
19. PACER OUTPUT mA (Pacer Version Only)
When pacing is selected, this control sets the amount of
current delivered to the MFE Pads. For conscious
patients, it should be gradually increased until capture is
recognized. The selected current setting is indicated on
the display.
20. 4:1 BUTTON (Pacer Version Only)
This control is used to test for threshold or to determine
the patient’s underlying rhythm. When depressed this
button causes pacing stimuli to be delivered at ¼ the
indicated ppm setting. Releasing the control causes the
instrument to resume normal pacing operation.
21. PACER RATE ppm (Pacer Version Only)
When pacing is selected, this control sets the rate at
which the pacemaker will operate. It must be set above
the patient’s intrinsic rate in order for the pacemaker to
provide stimulation. The selected pace rate setting is
indicated on the display.
22. Systole and Alarm Speaker
Emits audible heart rate tone during ECG monitoring,
and audible alarm indications when an alarmed condition
occurs.
23. Microphone (Optional)
Records audio activity in the vicinity of the M Series unit
for storage in non-volatile memory and on the PCMCIA
data card.
CHARGE INDICATOR LIGHT (Not Shown)
Located on the apex paddle, this light turns on when the
defibrillator is charged and ready.
DEFIBRILLATOR TEST PORT (Not Shown)
Located on the Multi-Function Cable, the test connector
is used to test the defibrillator output using the Multi-
Function Cable only.
PEDIATRIC PADDLES (Not Shown)
Pediatric-size electrodes are built into the paddle
assembly. They lie directly under the adult electrode
surface and are accessed by pushing the black PEDI
button at the front of each paddle and sliding the adult
surface forward. When replacing the adult electrodes, it
is important that the electrode is locked correctly in
position on the paddle handle.
VOLT ECG OUT (Not Shown)
A 1 volt/cm of displayed ECG signal output is available
from a subminiature phone jack located on the back of
the device. This output may be used for interconnections
to patient monitors and radio-telemetry equipment. The
tip carries the ECG signal and the sleeve is ground.
Code Markers
Pressing the CODE MARKER button causes the unit to
display a preconfigured list of clinical actions. Pressing
the softkey associated with a particular action causes
that action to be recorded along with a date and time
stamp in the Summary Report Memory.
Up to five Code Markers can be displayed on the screen
at one time. The right-most softkey is labeled “MORE”
when there are more than five items on the Code Marker
list. Pressing the MORE softkey will cause the next set of
Code Markers to be displayed above the softkeys.
Separate Code Marker lists are maintained for PACER,
MONITOR, and DEFIB modes thereby enabling the
appropriate Code Markers to be displayed for the
particular protocol (e.g. PACE: EPI, Atrop MONITOR:
Valium, LIDO DEFIB: BRET, AMIO).
The Code Markers are removed from the display after 10
seconds. If no Code Marker softkey has been pressed in
that time, a generic event MARK is stored in Summary
Report memory.
