5. ECG Monitor Mode
(DDU-2450 only)
5.3 Monitoring The Patient
After the ECG monitoring electrodes are connected, the defibrillator displays a non-diagnostic ECG of the patient’s
heart rhythm and heart rate in a Lead II configuration. While in ECG Monitor Mode, the defibrillator’s shock capability
is disabled; however, the defibrillator continues to evaluate the patient’s ECG for a potentially shockable rhythm.

• Confirm the patient’s condition: Not responsive? Not breathing? No signs of circulation?
• Remove the ECG Monitoring Adapter and connect the defibrillation pads (Rescue Pads) to the AED.
• If not already applied, apply the defibrillation pads to the patient’s chest. If necessary, remove the ECG
monitoring electrodes.
• Follow the AED’s voice and onscreen text prompts.
WARNING
Do not allow defibrillation pads to touch each other, or to touch other ECG electrodes, lead
wires, dressings, transdermal patches, etc. Such contact can cause electrical arcing and patient
skin burns during defibrillation and may divert defibrillating energy away from the heart.
