Deliver SHOCK
Verify that the ECG waveform is stable and that a marker
only appears with each R-wave.
Press and hold the illuminated, front panel SHOCK
button or simultaneously press and hold both SHOCK
buttons (one on each paddle) until energy is delivered to
the patient. The defibrillator will discharge with the next
detected R-wave.
Once energy is delivered, the display will simultaneously
show “XXXJ DELIVERED” and “DEFIB XXXJ SEL.” After
approximately 5 seconds the “XXXJ DELIVERED”
message will disappear and the “DEFIB XXXJ SEL.”
message remains to indicate the selected energy level.
If additional countershocks are necessary, readjust the
energy level as necessary, press the SYNC softkey and
repeat. Note “SYNC XXXJ SEL.” must be displayed prior
to pressing the CHARGE button.
If it is necessary to disarm the charged defibrillator (if
countershock is not needed), turn the selector switch to
MONITOR or change the selected energy level. Any
stored energy will be discharged internally by the
defibrillator.
If the ANALYZE button is pressed while the unit is in
SYNC mode, the unit will display “DISABLE SYNC” and
disallow ECG rhythm analysis until the unit is taken out
of SYNC mode.
If the defibrillator is not discharged within 60 seconds
after reaching the selected energy level, it will
automatically disarm itself. During the ten seconds prior
to this internal disarm, the charge ready tone will beep
intermittently. The charge ready tone will then stop and
the defibrillator will remain in SYNC mode.
Troubleshooting
If your M Series unit does not function as expected, see
the Defibrillator Troubleshooting section starting on
page B-5.
WARNING
• Warn all persons in attendance of the patient to STAND

monitoring cable or leads, bed rails, or any other potential
current pathways.
