Select DEFIB
Turn the SELECTOR SWITCH to DEFIB. The unit
automatically defaults to 200 Joules or the first shock
energy selection pre-configured by the user.
Note: Defibrillator “PADDLES” are selected as the ECG
source when the instrument is turned to
MONITOR or DEFIB and paddles are connected
to the Multi-Function cable.
Energy Select
Observe the display and verify the selected energy is
appropriate. To change the energy setting use either pair
of up/down arrow buttons. One pair is located on the
front panel of the unit, the other pair is located on the
sternum paddle. The selected energy level will be shown
as “DEFIB XXXJ SEL.” on the display.
If the M Series unit is configured to do so, it
automatically sets the energy to the pre-configured
Energy Level: Shock 1, 2, 3 setting at power-up and after
each of the first two shocks. The “ENERGY
INCREMENTED” message displays when this occurs.
Manually changing the energy level outside the pre-
programmed sequence and delivering a shock disables
this function. This function is disabled when internal
spoons are connected. See the M Series Configuration
Guide for more details.
Paddles are a defibrillation protected Type BF patient connection.
ECG leads are a defibrillation protected Type CF patient connection.
WARNING
• To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not allow electrolyte gel to accumulate on hands or
paddle handles.
• When defibrillating with paddles use your thumbs to operate the SHOCK buttons in order to
avoid inadvertent operator shock. No portion of the hand should be near the paddle plates.
