ZOLL M Series Defibrillator Rev YH - Manual (Page 39)

Advisory Defibrillation
4-3

Press SHOCK
Once the unit has charged to the selected energy, the
SHOCK button will illuminate and the “PRESS SHOCK”
message will be displayed. Simultaneously, the monitor
displays the energy level to which the defibrillator has
been charged, “DEFIB XXXJ READY”.
A continuous tone will sound for 50 seconds, followed by
an intermittent beeping for 10 seconds. The shock must
be delivered within this 60 second interval or the
defibrillator will disarm itself.
Press and hold the illuminated SHOCK button on the
front panel until energy is delivered to the patient. An
“XXXJ DELIVERED” message will appear on the display
for approximately 5 seconds.
Observe the patient or ECG response to be certain that
the shock has been delivered.
After the energy is delivered to the patient, the display
returns to DEFIB XXXJ SEL.
Repeat Analysis
Press the ANALYZE button to restart an ECG analysis
and determine if additional shocks are required.
Note: Reanalysis of the ECG rhythm, either manually or
automatically (see M Series Configuration
Guide), is inhibited for 3 seconds after a shock.
Continue Patient Care
Continue patient care according to medical protocols.
Advisory Function Messages
SELECT DEFIB MODE
This message will appear if the ANALYZE button is
pressed but the unit is not in the DEFIB mode. Move the
SELECTOR SWITCH to DEFIB to enable the
defibrillator and advisory capability.
SELECT PADS
Displayed if the ANALYZE button is pressed and the
device is being operated in any lead configuration other
than “PADS”. Press LEAD button until “PADS” are
selected.
DISABLE SYNC
Displayed if the ANALYZE button is pressed and the
device is in SYNC DEFIB mode. The unit should be
taken out of SYNC mode by pressing the SYNC softkey.
Press the ANALYZE button again to initiate rhythm
analysis on the patient.
Warning Messages
Warning messages prompt the operator to check the
patient, the unit, the electrodes and/or connections.
NOISY ECG / RETRY ANALYSIS
A NOISY ECG message alternating with a RETRY
ANALYSIS message is displayed for 5 seconds when the
unit detects a noisy ECG signal. Check and adjust
electrode placement and cable connections to help
eliminate the noise source. Press the ANALYZE button
again to begin ECG analysis.
ECG TOO LARGE / RETRY ANALYSIS
ECG TOO LARGE message will be displayed when the
ECG signal is too large for proper rhythm analysis. Press
the ANALYZE button again to begin ECG analysis.
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 in contact with metal objects, such as a bed frame,
as unwanted pathways for defibrillation current may
result.
