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.
The ANALYZING ECG and STAND CLEAR messages alternate at the bottom of the screen
while the patient’s ECG is analyzed. Once the analysis is completed, the unit indicates whether
or not a shock is advised.
Note: You can terminate the Advisory/CPR Protocol mode and return to Manual mode at any
time by pressing the Exit quick access key.
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.
