Subsequent Analysis Cycles
If the option AUTO ANALYZE 1 or 2 is selected, the AED automatically analyzes the patient’s ECG rhythm
after Shock #1 is delivered. If the
AUTO ANALYZE option is off, the AED displays PUSH ANALYZE after
Shock #1. (You will also hear the
PUSH ANALYZE voice prompt and see the ANALYZE LED flash.) You
must press
ANALYZE to begin the analysis.
The second analysis and shock sequence is the same as that described for Shock #1. However, the
energy levels for Shock #2 and Shock #3 depend on the value selected for the
ENERGY SEQUENCE and
the
ENERGY PROTOCOL options. When a NO SHOCK ADVISED decision immediately follows a shock, the
energy level will not increase for the next shock if
FLEXIBLE SEQUENCE is enabled.
Note: If
FIXED SEQUENCE is enabled, the energy level for shocks will increment regardless of the
analysis decision.
No Shock Advised
If the AED detects a nonshockable ECG rhythm, it displays this message:
You will hear the
NO SHOCK ADVISED voice prompt. The AED will not charge, and no shock can be
delivered.
After
NO SHOCK ADVISED, the AED enters CPR TIME if CPR TIME is set to 15 seconds or more. If CPR TIME
is set to 0, the AED displays one of the following message sequences, depending on the
PULSE PROMPT
selected in Setup:
You will hear the corresponding
voice prompt. Within 10 seconds, the AED displays two alternating
messages:
