Advisory Defibrillation
When the Mode Selector is turned to ON, the unit is in Manual mode, and hands-free therapy
electrodes are used, the R Series can identify shockable rhythms using its built in ECG analysis
capability. You must read the advisory messages, charge the defibrillator to the preconfigured
or user-selected energy level (if automatic charge is disabled), and deliver treatment to the
patient when required by protocol and patient condition.
The advisory function can be activated only when:
• Hands-free therapy electrodes are connected and selected as the ECG source.
• Hands-free therapy electrodes are properly connected to the patient.
• The Mode Selector is turned to ON and the unit is in Manual mode.
WARNING! Use only pediatric electrodes to defibrillate patients under 8 years of age in Advisory
mode. Use of adult electrodes with pediatric patients can result in the delivery of
excessive energy doses.
ZOLL hands-free therapy electrodes are a defibrillation-protected Type BF patient
connection.
