STEP 3: SHOCK DELIVERY AND CPR MODE

For the Powerheart AED G3 and FirstSave AED G3:
When the AED is ready to deliver a defibrillation shock, the SHOCK button will flash and the prompt
"Stand Clear. Push Flashing Button to Deliver Shock " will be heard.
Make sure no one is touching the patient and push the SHOCK button to deliver a
defibrillation shock. If you do not push the SHOCK button within 30 seconds of hearing
the prompt, the AED will disarm and reanalyze the cardiac rhythm.
For the Powerheart AED G3 Automatic ONLY:
When the AED is ready to deliver a shock, the voice prompt, "Stand Clear! Shock will be delivered in five seconds"
will be heard. The count down, "Four, three, two, one" then deliver a shock.
Make sure no one is touching the patient.
After the AED delivers the first defibrillation shock, the voice prompt will say "Shock Delivered." It reanalyzes
the patient's rhythm to determine if the shock was successful. If the AED determines that a shockable cardiac
rhythm still exists, it will continue to guide you through additional shocks as needed following the AHA and
ILCOR protocols.
Note: During a rescue, the text screen displays voice prompts, elapsed time of rescue and number
of shocks delivered, (for Powerheart AED only).
CPR MODE
After delivery of three consecutive defibrillation shocks or detection of a
non-shockable rhythm, the AED automatically enters CPR mode. The voice prompt
will say, for the Powerheart AED G3 Automatic: "It is safe to touch the patient."
"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." Perform CPR if the patient is not responsive and not breathing.
During this time-out for CPR, the Powerheart AED can continue to monitor the patient's heart rhythm. If the
patient's condition changes and the Powerheart AED detects a shockable rhythm during the CPR period, the
voice prompt will say, "Do Not Touch Patient. Analyzing Rhythm." This feature is disabled, but can be enabled
in MDLink by the Medical Director, (for Powerheart AED only).
After delivery of three consecutive defibrillation shocks, the AED automatically enters a mandatory CPR time-out
period. During this time-out, the AED will not interrupt the CPR mode if the patient's condition changes and
the AED detects a shockable rhythm. After the CPR time-out period has expired, the voice prompt "Do Not
Touch Patient. Analyzing Rhythm." will be heard.
