5. Depending on the Mode setting in Administrative Menu (refer to section Section 2.3,
“Administrative Menu: user pre-set options,” on page 2-9), the AutoPulse Platform will perform
15:2 or Continuous compressions. In 15:2 mode the Platform performs 15 compressions and then
pauses for three seconds to permit the user to ventilate the patient before automatically resuming
compressions (see Figure 3-12). In Continuous mode the Platform performs continuous
compressions. If on-the-fly mode switching has been enabled (in the Mode setting within the
Administrative Menu) then the AutoPulse Platform will perform in the mode (either 15:2 or
Continuous) that was used last until powered down; on power up 15:2 will be the initial selection.
In 15:2 mode three audio cue tones will sound prior to the ventilation pause: one during each of the
13th, 14th, and 15th compressions. In Continuous mode, in every 7 compressions, one audio cue
tone will sound—on the 6
th
compression. The tones can be temporarily disabled (and re-enabled)
by pressing the Tone Silence button (refer to section Section 1.4.2.6, “Tone Silence Button,” on page
