shockable the unit will display a “SHOCK ADVISED”
message.
The defibrillator will begin charging automatically to the
pre-configured energy setting and display a
“CHARGING” message.
When charging is completed the monitor displays the
energy level to which the defibrillator has been charged,
“XXXJ READY”.

Press SHOCK
Once the unit has charged to the selected energy, the
SHOCK button will illuminate and the “PRESS SHOCK”
message will be announced and displayed.
A continuous tone will sound for 10 seconds, followed by
an intermittent beeping for 5 seconds. The shock must
be delivered within this 15 second interval or the
defibrillator will disarm itself.
Press and hold the illuminated SHOCK button on the
front panel until energy is delivered to the patient.
Observe the patient or ECG response to be certain that
the shock has been delivered.
After the energy is delivered to the patient, the display
returns to XXX J SEL. SHOCKS: 1, indicating the
number of shocks administered to the patient.
Repeat Analysis
Press the ANALYZE button to restart an ECG analysis
and determine if additional shocks are required.
Note: Reanalysis of the ECG rhythm, either manually or
automatically (see the M Series Configuration
Guide), is inhibited for 3 seconds after a shock.
Continue Patient Care
Continue patient care according to medical protocols.
Operating Messages
The unit uses both audio and visual prompts to present
critical information to operators. The following
information describes the unit default configuration. If
your device has been custom configured some of the
information may be different.
There are 9 voice prompts used in semi-automatic mode.
These prompts are accompanied by a message
displayed on the monitor. The voice prompts are given
only once, but the monitor continues to display the
message until new action is taken by the operator or the
device status changes.
The unit also provides a beeper tone to indicate unit
status. Four beeps immediately after turning the unit on
signifies the self diagnostics are complete and unit is
ready for operation. Additional tone signals are
described later.
The display has fields where messages appear. The
messages that appear depend upon the functions the
unit is performing, the mode selected, and the ECG
information from the patient.
The unit will alternately display 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”
message.
The upper portion of the display indicates some operator
prompts and error messages. The center portion of the
display indicates approximately 4 seconds of ECG trace.
WARNING
• Warn all persons in attendance of the patient to STAND
CLEAR prior to defibrillator discharge.
• Do not touch the bed, patient, or any equipment
connected to the patient during defibrillation. A severe
shock can result. Do not allow exposed portions of the
patient's body to come in contact with metal objects, such
as a bed frame, as unwanted pathways for defibrillation
current may result.
