Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Welch Allyn AED 10 function correctly if I have reversed the placement
of the electrode pads when I placed them on the patient's chest?
Yes. The Welch Allyn AED 10's ability to analyze the rhythm and to deliver shocks
is independent of the polarity of the electrode pads. (See
Pads and Connect the Cable"
Do I select the energy level with successive shocks?
No. The energy level is preset when operating the Welch Allyn AED 10 in
Automated Mode.
What do I do if a shock is advised while I am transporting a patient?
Avoid shocking a patient during transport; movement may interfere with the
accuracy of the rhythm analysis. Stop the transport if possible and allow the
Welch Allyn AED 10 to reconfirm the shockable condition.
What is the capacity of the battery?
Refer to
