This analysis normally consists of up to three consecutive 3-second ECG rhythm analyses. If at
least two of the three analyses determine that the patient has a shockable rhythm, the unit
automatically prompts the operator to shock the patient at the preconfigured energy level. If
two or more of the three 3-second ECG analyses do not detect a shockable rhythm, the unit
alerts the operator that no shock is advised.
If the first two segments are in agreement with each other, the final shock or no shock rhythm
decision is made and a third segment is not processed.
WARNING! ECG rhythm analysis does not warn of patient asystole, which is not a shockable
rhythm.
When a nonshockable rhythm is detected, the unit displays a NO SHOCK ADVISED message.
Follow the local protocols to continue CPR or other life support, and re-analyze the ECG at
appropriate intervals.
