AED Semiautomatic Operation

Before you begin:
Determine the patient's condition following medical
•
protocols and by verifying:
– Unconsciousness
– Absence of breathing, and
– Absence of pulse
• If appropriate, begin CPR following medical protocol,
and request additional assistance.
• Prepare the patient and attach the MFE pads as
described in "MFE Pad Application/Connection" on
page 1-9.
If connecting to PADS through the AutoPulse Plus, refer
to the User Guide AutoPulse
Model 100 with Defibrillator Interface addendum (part
number 9650-0720-01) for instructions on properly
connecting the E Series to the AutoPulse Plus. It is
recommended that the user cycle through the lead
setting until the APLS icon appears in the upper
right-hand corner of the display, indicating that the unit
recognizes the connection to the AutoPulse Plus.
WARNING
If the APLS icon does not appear, check that the
E Series and AutoPulse Plus are properly connected. If
the APLS icon still does not appear, or a
PADDLE FAULT occurs, discharge energy internally by
changing the energy selection, disconnect the
Multi-Function Cable and PADS from the AutoPulse
Plus, and connect the Multi-Function Cable directly to
the PADS.

device in an emergency vehicle, bring the vehicle
to a halt before using in Semiautomatic mode.
• When using the AutoPulse Plus, stop
compressions prior to performing ECG analysis.
Compressions may be resumed following the
analysis.
