How to Use the LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator
DEFIBRILLATION IN MANUAL MODE
The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator provides a Manual mode to override the AED features of the
defibrillator. Manual mode provides operator-initiated analysis, charge, shock, and disarm
functions. This mode is useful in a tiered response system when a provider trained in manual
defibrillation and authorized to place the defibrillator in Manual mode takes over the scene from
a BLS-AED trained provider.
To use Manual mode:
1 Press the Menu button.
2 Select YES to enter Manual mode. The ECG trace and Heart Rate Indicator appear on
the screen.
3 If the displayed ECG rhythm appears shockable, press CHARGE to initiate charging of
the defibrillator. The screen will indicate that the defibrillator is charging and a charge tone
will sound.
4 Clear everyone away from the patient, bed, or any equipment connected to the patient.
5 When the charge is complete, press the flashing (shock) button to deliver energy to
the patient.
6 After delivering a shock, the energy for each subsequent shock is automatically selected
based on the energy level configured in Setup.
Note: To remove an unwanted charge at any time, press DISARM .
Analysis
The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator can be set up to display an ANALYZE softkey when in
Manual mode.
To initiate an analysis:
1 Confirm that the patient is unresponsive, not breathing, and without a pulse.
2 Press ANALYZE .
3 If the rhythm analysis results in a No Shock Advised decision, the defibrillator remains in
Manual mode without further prompts.
4 If the rhythm analysis results in a Shock Advised decision, the defibrillator automatically
begins charging accompanied by a charge tone. If you determine that a shock is not
warranted, press
DISARM .
5 When the charge is complete, clear everyone away from the patient, bed, or any equipment
connected to the patient.
6 Press the flashing (shock) button to deliver energy to the patient.
7 After delivering a shock, the defibrillator remains in Manual mode.
