making good contact with the patient or if a short circuit
exists between the MFE pads.
MFE Pad Application
1. Apply one edge of the pad securely to the patient.
2. “Roll” the pad smoothly from that edge to the other
being careful not to trap any air pockets between the
gel and skin.
Note: If it is not possible to place the “BACK” MFE Pad
on the patient’s back, the MFE Pad should be
placed in the standard apex-sternum
configuration. Effective defibrillation will result,
but pacing with the device will usually be less
effective.

The unit will beep 4 times to indicate that it has passed
the power-on self-test. If the audio recorder is present,
the unit will begin recording audio data immediately.
If no MFE pads or ECG electrodes have been attached
to the patient and connected to the M Series, an
“ATTACH PADS” message and voice prompt will be
issued.
Energy Select
For non-Biphasic units shock number 1 is set at
200 joules, shock 2 is set at 200 joules and shock 3 and
up is set at 360 joules (default setting). For Biphasic
units shock number 1 is set at 120 joules, shock 2 is set
at 120 joules and shock 3 and up is set at 200 joules. If
medical protocols allow, the operator may select a

not been properly connected to the patient, a “USE
PADS” message will be displayed and analysis will be
inhibited.
An “ANALYZING ECG” message is then displayed for up
to 12 seconds while the patient’s ECG is analyzed.
Once the analysis is completed, the unit indicates
whether or not a shock is advised.
When a non-shockable rhythm is detected the unit
displays a “NO SHOCK ADV.” message.
