Semiautomatic Operation (AED)
X Series products are designed for use by emergency care personnel who have completed
training and certification requirements applicable to the use of a defibrillator where the device
operator controls delivery of shocks to the patient.
They are specifically designed for use in early defibrillation programs where the delivery of a
defibrillator shock during resuscitation involving CPR, transportation, and definitive care are
incorporated into a medically-approved patient care protocol.
Use of the X Series in the Semiautomatic mode for defibrillation is indicated on victims of
cardiac arrest where there is apparent lack of circulation as indicated by:
• Unconsciousness.
• Absence of breathing.
• Absence of pulse.
Specifications for the ECG rhythm analysis function are provided in the section "ECG Analysis
Algorithm Accuracy" on page A-36.
When the patient is less than 8 years of age or weighs less that 55 lbs. (25 Kg), you must use
ZOLL pediatric defibrillation electrodes. Do not delay therapy to determine patient's exact age
or weight.
ECG Monitoring
The X Series is intended for use to monitor and/or record 3-, 5-, or 12-lead ECG waveform and
heart rate, and to alarm when heart rate is above or below limits set by the operator. The patient
population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult, with and without heart dysfunction.
CPR Monitoring
The CPR monitoring function provides visual and audio feedback designed to encourage
rescuers to perform chest compressions at the AHA/ERC recommended rate of 100
compressions per minute. Voice and visual prompts encourage a minimum compression depth
of at least 1.5 (3.8 cm) or 2.0 inches (5.0 cm), depending on the configuration, for adult
patients.
External Transcutaneous Pacing
This product can be used for temporary external cardiac pacing in conscious or unconscious
patients as an alternative to endocardial stimulation.
The purposes of pacing include:
Resuscitation from standstill or bradycardia of any etiology:
•
As a standby when standstill or bradycardia might be expected:
•
Suppression of tachycardia.
•
Pediatric pacing.
