3 Deliver Shock
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 into contact with metal objects, such as a bed frame, as unwanted
pathways for defibrillation current may result.
Press and hold the button on the front panel until energy is delivered to the patient.
The delivered energy level is displayed at the bottom of the screen and the shock number (1)
displays at the top of the screen and in the Defib Control panel at the bottom of the screen.
Note: If at any time you want to cancel the defibrillation, press the Disarm softkey.
If the defibrillator is not discharged within 60 seconds after reaching the selected
energy level, the unit automatically disarms itself.
If additional countershocks are needed, follow steps 1 through 3 of this procedure starting on
page 15-7, to readjust the energy settings, charge the unit, and deliver shock.
Internal Paddles
ZOLL internal paddles are designed for use with the ZOLL X Series defibrillator to defibrillate
the heart during open chest procedures. Two types of Autoclavable Internal Handles are
available:
• Molded Autoclavable Internal Handles with integrated electrodes
• Autoclavable Internal Handles with removable internal defibrillation electrodes
When an internal handle set is connected to the X Series, it automatically limits defibrillator
energy output to a maximum of 50 joules.
For step-by-step procedures for open chest defibrillation as well as important cleaning and
sterilization information regarding the autoclavable electrodes, refer to the Autoclavable
Internal Handle and Electrode Operator’s Guide.
