Summary of Contents for ZOLL AEDpro

  • Page 1 Department of Education and Professional Development Zoll AEDpro Information...
  • Page 2 • Absence of pulse and other signs of circulation. When the victim is less than 8 years old or weighs less than 55 lb. (25 kg), use ZOLL Paediatric defibrillation electrodes. Do not delay therapy to determine the patient’s exact age or weight.
  • Page 3 ECG analysis A patient must be motionless during ECG analysis. Do not touch the patient during analysis. Battery care Keep a fully charged spare battery pack with the device at all times. When the unit displays the message CHANGE BATTERY, immediately replace the battery pack with a fully charged one.
  • Page 4 Defibrillation The AED Pro unit uses the ZOLL Rectilinear Biphasic™ waveform and ZOLL single-use defibrillation electrode pads for defibrillation. Escalating energy levels for the first three shocks are preconfigured into the unit for adult and paediatric patients. (The unit selects the appropriate levels by detecting the type of defibrillation electrode pads in use.) After the first three shocks, all subsequent shocks...
  • Page 5 The display screen shows the following items (depending on the activity in progress): Elapsed time — Shows the total time (in hours, minutes, and seconds) since the unit was turned on. The counter resets to 00:00:00 after 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds, or when the unit is turned off.
  • Page 6 Installing a Battery Pack Before you begin Be sure the unit is turned off. Be sure the battery pack to be installed is fully charged. Step Pull the bottom edge of the battery compartment latch outward. When released, the latch slides upward Pull the top edge of the latch toward you and then downward.
  • Page 7 Press the edge of the battery pack until it clicks into place. Slide the cover panel back into place, and then lower the edge of the cover. Raise the compartment latch, and tilt the top edge toward the unit. Press the bottom edge of the latch toward the unit to lock the cover in place.
  • Page 8 To prepare an AED Pro unit for clinical use: Beginning of shift checks to be carried out prior to use Step Action Inspect all external surfaces of the unit to ensure that they are clean (with no fluid spills) and free from structural damage, such as cracks and broken or missing parts.
  • Page 9 Performing a Self-Test The AED Pro unit performs automatic or manual self-tests to verify its integrity and readiness for emergency use. These tests verify the following: • Battery energy — Verifies that the battery energy is sufficient for at least 2 hours of continuous monitoring and ten shocks at maximum energy.
  • Page 10 Messages While preparing the AED Pro unit for use, the following messages can be seen and/or heard: Message Description UNIT OK The unit successfully passed its power-on self-test. UNIT FAILED The unit failed its power-on self-test and is not usable for patient care. CHANGE BATTERY The self-test detected a low energy condition that is insufficient for patient care.
  • Page 11 Applying Defibrillation Electrode Pads — Adult WARNING! ZOLL defibrillation electrode pads are for adult patients only; do not use them on patients under 8 years of age. To apply defibrillation electrode pads: Step Action Tear open the electrode package and unfold the inner package to expose the electrodes.
  • Page 12 Semiautomatic Defibrillation In semiautomatic mode, the AED Pro unit analyzes the patient’s ECG rhythm to determine whether it is shockable or not. If a shock is needed, follow the text and voice prompts to defibrillate the patient. This mode should only be used by staff who have not been trained in ECG recognition Before you begin Be sure the defibrillation cable is plugged into the unit.

  • Page 13: Change Battery

    displays the message: STOP CPR In addition, if the unit does not detect chest compressions, it issues the following voice and text prompt every 15 seconds: • CONTINUE CPR When the unit resumes ECG During ECG analysis, keep the patient analysis, return to step 3.
  • Page 14 PRESS FLASHING SHOCK After detecting a shockable rhythm, the unit is charged to BUTTON the preselected energy level. Within 30 seconds, press the Shock button to deliver a shock to the patient. RELEASE SHOCK BUTTON The Shock button was depressed too soon. Wait until the unit issues the prompt PRESS FLASHING SHOCK BUTTON.
  • Page 15 Manual Mode This mode must be used by staff who are trained to read ECGs, this will limit the time off the chest prior to defibrillation In manual mode, the AED Pro unit displays the patient’s ECG, while the rescuer evaluates the rhythm to determine if a shock is needed.
  • Page 16 Manual Defibrillation With manual defibrillation, you must evaluate the ECG rhythm to determine whether or not it is shockable. If a shock is needed, you manually charge the defibrillator and then deliver a shock to the patient. Before you begin Prepare the patient as described in “Applying Defibrillation Electrode Pads”...
  • Page 17 ECG Monitoring Mode You can use the AED Pro unit for short-term monitoring of the patient’s electrocardiogram (ECG). The AED Pro unit monitors lead II only. In ECG monitoring mode, the screen shows the shock count, elapsed time, mode (MONITOR), heart rate, heartbeat symbol, ECG size, ECG rhythm, and text messages. WARNING! An implanted pacemaker might cause the heart rate meter or ECG rhythm analysis to count the pacemaker rate during incidents of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmia.
  • Page 18 Monitoring with ECG Electrodes When it detects an AED Pro ECG cable at startup, the unit enters ECG monitoring mode and displays the patient’s ECG rhythm and heart rate. Procedure To start and operate the unit in ECG monitoring mode: Step Action Result Be sure the AED Pro ECG...
  • Page 19 Setting the Date and Time To set the current date and time in the AED Pro, make sure that you are in Nonrescue Mode by holding down the On/Off button for 5 seconds Press the SET TIME soft key. The unit then prompts you to set the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.
  • Page 20 seconds. Follow the prompts to resolve the problem. If the unit still is not ready for use, take it out of service. Contact supervisor. Message: Replace the battery pack with a fully charged CHANGE BATTERY battery pack as soon as possible. Message: Ensure that the electrode cable is properly PLUG IN CABLE...
  • Page 21 3. Attach ECG electrodes 4. Read ECG Please note, if the Zoll detects a shockable rhythm it will ask you to check patient then ask you to plug in defib cable. If asystole is detected it will just ask you to check patient.
  • Page 22 6. Shout STAND CLEAR (look for patient to be clear of anyone) 7. Press flashing red button Warning: Defib will not charge unless pads are attached to the patient References Product documentation is available through the ZOLL website at www.zoll.com.
