Using the DDU-2300 AED

5 ECG Monitor Mode (DDU-2450 only)
At the discretion of emergency care personnel, the DDU-2450 AED can also be used with an optional ECG Monitoring
Adapter (DAC-2020/2021) to provide a non-diagnostic ECG display of the patient’s heart rhythm for attended patient
monitoring. The system is intended for use on a conscious or breathing patient, regardless of age. While connected to
the ECG Monitoring Adapter, the DDU-2450 AED’s shock capability is disabled, but it continues to evaluate the patient’s
ECG. There are no known contraindications to use of the ECG Monitoring Adapter.
Note: The AED does not have to be turned off before changing from defibrillation pads to the ECG Monitoring Adapter
or vice versa. To deliver a shock to the patient, disconnect the ECG Monitoring Adapter and attach the defibrillation pads.
5.1 Entering ECG Monitor Mode
Disconnect the defibrillation pads from the AED and plug in the optional ECG Monitoring Adapter (the ECG Monitoring
Adapter uses the same connector socket used by the defibrillation pads). The AED will automatically switch to
ECG Monitor Mode with ECG view and onscreen text prompts will provide instruction. (NOTE: Voice prompts are
disabled while in ECG Monitor Mode.) If the ECG monitoring electrodes are not applied, the display will show
a dashed ECG and prompt the user to apply the electrodes. When the ECG monitoring electrodes are applied, the
display shows the patient’s ECG and heart rate.
5.2 Applying The ECG Monitoring Electrodes
Apply ECG monitoring electrodes to the patient’s chest as shown below:
