ZOLL M Series Defibrillator Rev YH - Manual (Page 51)

7-1
SECTION 7
CPR ASSISTANCE
When used with CPR-D•padz, the M Series unit can
provide rescuers with feedback about the quality of CPR
they are delivering to their patients. The way in which
feedback is provided varies with respect to the
operational mode and user configuration, but is derived
from compression rate and depth measurement.
When applied according to package instructions, ZOLL
CPR-D•padz provide a chest compression sensor that is
located between the rescuer's hands and the patient's
lower sternum. This sensor monitors the rate and depth
of chest compressions and sends this information to the
M Series unit for processing and display.
The M Series defibrillator uses this information to
provide feedback to the rescuer in one or more of the
following forms:
• CPR Compressions Indicator
• CPR Idle Time Display
• CPR Rate Metronome
Prepare the Patient and Attach the
CPRD-to-MFC Connector
Prepare the patient as described on page 4-1. Attach the
CPR-D•padz to the patient according to the instructions
on the electrode packaging. Connect the Multifunction
cable to the narrow end of the CPRD-to-MFC connector
(if not already connected). Connect the CPR-D•padz to
the wide end of the CPRD-to-MFC connector.
Ensure that the CPR-D•padz are making good contact
with the patient’s skin. If the pads are not making good
contact, the messages CHECK PADS and POOR PAD
CONTACT will be displayed, and energy will not be
delivered. If a short circuit exists between the pads, the
message DEFIB PAD SHORT will be displayed.
Note: If the M Series displays the message CABLE
FAULT or PADDLE FAULT, energy will not be
delivered. Check the connection to the
CPRD-to-MFC connector. If the message does
not clear, disconnect the CPRD-to-MFC
connector and connect the cable directly to the
CPR-D•padz. If the fault clears, CPR feedback
will not be available, but the device will be able to
deliver energy.
CPR Assist Display
Whenever CPR-D•padz are connected to the M Series
defibrillator, the unit illuminates the CPR Assist field in
the upper right side of the display. This field includes the
indicators described in the next sections.
The CPR sensor is defibrillation-proof Type BF equipment.
WARNING
• The CPR Assist function is not intended for use on patients under 8 years of age.
• The CPRD-to-MFC connector is intended for use with the M Series, or other ZOLL defibrillators where
indicated.
