When the pads are placed, the voice prompt will say "Do not touch patient. Analyzing Rhythm. " If the pads are
not properly placed or become disconnected at any time during the rescue, the voice prompt "Check Pads"
will be heard. When this occurs, ensure that:
Pads are firmly placed on clean, dry skin
Pad cable is securely plugged into the AED
STEP 2: ECG ANALYSIS
As soon as the AED detects proper pad placement, the voice prompt "Do Not Touch Patient. Analyzing Rhythm"
will be heard. The AED will begin to analyze the cardiac rhythm of the patient.
For the Powerheart AED G3 and the FirstSave AED G3:
If a shock is advised, the voice prompt will say, "Shock Advised. Charging. "
See step three.
For the Powerheart AED G3 Automatic:
The voice prompt, "Stand Clear! Shock will be delivered in 5 seconds" will be heard. The tone and voice
prompt will continue for 5 seconds then deliver a shock.
When the AED is charged, it continues to analyze the patient's heart rhythm. If the rhythm changes and a
shock is no longer needed, the AED will issue the prompt "Rhythm Changed. Shock Cancelled," disarm
and reanalyze.
If no shock is advised, the AED will prompt to start CPR with the prompt "Check for Breathing. If Not
Breathing, Give Patient Two Breaths" (if this prompt is enabled) then "Check for Signs of Circulation. If No
Circulation, Start CPR."
If noise is detected during analysis, the AED will warn you with the prompt "Analysis Interrupted. Stop Patient
Motion" and restart the analysis. This usually occurs if the patient is excessively jostled or there is a strong
electromagnetic emitting electronic device nearby (within 5 meters). Remove the electronic device or stop the
excessive motion when you hear this prompt.
