Measuring Synchronization

The Analyzer measures the synchronization time (cardioversion delay time) of
synchronized defibrillators. A 90 BPM ECG waveform is output through the
ECG jacks and the paddle plates. During normal operation, the defibrillator
recognizes and responds to this trigger by discharging within a certain amount
of time.

The Analyzer is capable of measuring up to 199.9 ms in delay time from either
the peak or the base edge of the R wave. Typical acceptable delay times are
within 60 ms from the peak of the R wave.

To measure synchronization:

1. Turn the defibrillator to be tested to

ON

and select the desired energy

output in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Connect the ECG patient leads to the Analyzer as shown in Figure 2-7.

3. Power up the Analyzer by sliding the power switch forward to the

ON

position. The Analyzer displays
