WARNING!
Do not analyze the patient ECG during patient movement. A patient must be motionless
during ECG analysis. Do not touch the patient during analysis. Cease all movement via
stretcher or vehicle before analyzing the ECG.
The X Series automatically begins the analysis of the patient’s ECG rhythm,
displays an
ANALYZING ECG message for 5 seconds, and announces and displays a STAND CLEAR
message. If therapy electrodes have not been properly connected to the patient, an ATTACH
PADS or CHECK PADS message is displayed and analysis will be inhibited.
Note:
You can press Pause to suspend the rescue cycle. While the rescue cycle is paused,
ECG analysis continues in the background. The trends, log, and 12-lead features are
only accessible when the rescue cycle is suspended. Press Analyze to resume the
analysis process.
Note:
If the X Series has been configured to perform extra CPR at startup, it displays a
CHECK PULSE voice prompt and the message appears for 10 seconds. Then it
displays a PERFORM CPR message along with a voice prompt for the configured
duration before analysis begins. You can start an ECG analysis during the CPR interval
by pressing the ANALYZE button.
An ANALYZING ECG message is displayed while the patient’s ECG is analyzed. Once the
analysis is completed, the unit indicates whether or not a shock is advised.
WARNING!
ECG rhythm analysis does not warn of patient asystole, which is not a shockable
rhythm.
