Shock Mode - Welch Allyn AED 10 User Manual

30 Using the Defibrillator

Shock Mode

The Welch Allyn AED 10 can be configured in one of three rescue modes:
1 Shock/CPR
(Factory preset). During a shockable event, the AED 10 will deliver one shock followed by
a cycle of CPR. A CPR cycle will begin immediately after the delivery of a defibrillation
shock or after a non-shockable event. During the CPR cycle, the Welch Allyn AED 10 will
suspend patient heart rhythm analysis - promoting an uninterrupted cycle of CPR.
3 Shock/CPR
(Traditional three shock sequence). During a shockable event, the AED 10 will deliver one
shock followed by an immediate analysis of the patient's heart rhythm. After delivering a
shock, the Welch Allyn AED 10 continues to analyze the heart rhythm and determines
whether additional shocks are indicated. The CPR cycle begins after a "No Shock
Advised" prompt or after delivering three consecutive shocks. During the CPR cycle, the
Welch Allyn AED 10 will suspend patient heart rhythm analysis - promoting a complete
and uninterrupted cycle of CPR.
3 Shock/Analyze
Like the "3 shock/CPR" mode, the AED 10 will deliver one shock followed by an
immediate analysis of the patient's heart rhythm while in a shockable event. The AED 10
will also continue to analyze the heart rhythm and determine whether additional shocks
are indicated. The CPR cycle begins after a "No Shock Advised" prompt or after delivering
the third shock.
However, during the CPR cycle the Welch Allyn AED 10 will continue to analyze the
patient heart rhythm. Should the Welch Allyn AED 10 detect the presence of a shockable
rhythm during the CPR cycle, the user will be prompted to stop CPR. The AED 10 will
analyze patient heart rhythm and if need, prompt the user to deliver a shock. A "No Shock
Advised" text prompt will continue to flash on the display - accompanied by an audible
tone every minute until a shockable rhythm is detected.
