distinctive charge ready tone sounds and the DEFIB XXXJ READY is displayed. The
defibrillator is now ready to discharge.
3 Deliver Shock
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 into contact with metal objects, such as a bed frame, as unwanted
pathways for defibrillation current may result.
Press and hold the SHOCK button until energy is delivered to the patient.
Note: If the defibrillator is not discharged within 60 or 120 seconds (user configurable) after
reaching the selected energy level, the unit automatically disarms itself.
During the 10 seconds prior to disarming, the charge ready tone beeps intermittently. The
charge ready tone then stops, the SHOCK button light goes off, and the monitor message
changes to DEFIB XXXJ SEL. Press the CHARGE button to recharge the unit.
Once the energy is delivered, the display simultaneously shows XXXJ DELIVERED and DEFIB
XXXJ SEL. After approximately 5 seconds, the XXXJ DELIVERED message disappears and the
DEFIB XXXJ SEL. message remains to indicate the selected energy level.
