2 Press ANALYZE Button
WARNING! Keep patient motionless during ECG analysis. Do not touch the patient during analysis.
Cease all movement via stretcher or vehicle before analyzing the ECG.
Press the ANALYZE button to begin the analysis of the patient’s ECG rhythm and to determine
if a shockable rhythm is present.
An ANALYZING message is displayed at the top of the screen for 6 to 12 seconds while the
patient’s ECG is analyzed. Once the analysis is completed, the unit indicates whether or not a
shock is advised.
This analysis normally consists of up to three consecutive 3-second ECG rhythm analyses. If at
least two of the three analyses determine that the patient has a shockable rhythm, the unit
automatically prompts the operator to shock the patient at the preconfigured energy level. If
two or more of the three 3-second ECG analyses do not detect a shockable rhythm, the unit
alerts the operator that no shock is advised.
If the first two segments are in agreement with each other, the final shock or no shock rhythm
decision is made and a third segment is not processed.
WARNING! ECG rhythm analysis does not warn of patient asystole, which is not a shockable
rhythm.
When a nonshockable rhythm is detected, the unit displays a NO SHOCK ADVISED message.
Follow the local protocols to continue CPR or other life support, and re-analyze the ECG at
appropriate intervals.
