CHECK PATIENT
The unit detects a shockable rhythm during continuous
background ECG analysis without initiating an analysis
(i.e., Smart Alarms™). The prompt is given when the
heart rate alarms are enabled and the unit detects a
shockable rhythm or if the rhythm goes from non-
shockable to shockable. The screen message persists
as long as a shockable rhythm is being detected. Press
the ANALYZE button to begin ECG analysis.
Note: This CHECK PATIENT analysis function operates
continuously when heart rate alarms are enabled
and does not require depression of the ANALYZE
button for operation.
CHECK PADS / POOR PAD CONTACT
The Multi-Function Pads are no longer properly attached
to the patient or the cable connections have become
loose.
Check that the MFE Pads are making good contact with
the patient’s skin and that the cables are all securely
connected. This voice prompt will not sound if the MFE
Pads were not previously connected to the patient.
Troubleshooting
If your M Series unit does not function as expected, see
the Defibrillator Troubleshooting section starting on
