Advisory/CPR Protocol Defibrillation Procedure
9650-001355-01 Rev. H X Series Operator’s Guide 17–5
When you press the Energy Select Up/Down arrow keys or Charge button while in
Advisory/CPR Protocol mode, the unit transitions to Manual mode. If the unit is charged when
you transition from Advisory/CPR Protocol to Manual mode, the unit disarms and halts any
analysis that is taking place.
Non-Shockable Rhythm
When a nonshockable rhythm is detected, the unit displays a NO SHOCK ADVISED message.
The unit then leads you through a CPR interval and then restarts ECG analysis automatically.
The Advisory/CPR Protocol mode repeats the Analysis and CPR intervals as long as Advisory/
CPR Protocol is active. You can press the Exit quick access key at any time to return to Manual
mode.
Note: When a nonshockable rhythm is detected, the X Series does not prevent the user from
manually defibrillating the patient.
Shockable Rhythm
If the patient’s rhythm is shockable, the unit displays the SHOCK ADVISED and PRESS
SHOCK messages. The defibrillator automatically prompts the operator to shock the patient at
the preconfigured energy level and the SHOCK button illuminates.
A continuous tone sounds for 20 or 50 seconds (depending on configuration), followed by a
higher pitch tone for 10 seconds.You must deliver the shock within this 30 or 60 second interval
(depending on configuration), or the defibrillator will disarm itself
3 Press SHOCK button
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 in contact with metal objects, such as a bed frame, as unwanted pathways
for defibrillation current may result.
Press and hold the illuminated SHOCK 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.
The unit then leads you through a CPR interval and then restarts ECG analysis automatically.
The Advisory/CPR Protocol mode repeats the Analysis and CPR intervals as long as Advisory/
CPR Protocol is active. You can press the Exit quick access key at any time to return to Manual
mode.
