P
age 46
Note: During a rescue, the text display provides the rescuer with the
voice prompts in written form, elapsed time of rescue and number
of shocks delivered. For a complete description of displayed text,
see "Voice Prompt and Text Display Descriptions" on page 38.
CPR Mode
After the third defibrillation shock is delivered, the voice prompt will say,
"Check pulse. If no pulse, give CPR."
Note: During CPR, AED's equipped with the optional text display will
show a countdown CPR timer.
13. Perform CPR if the patient has no pulse.
Note: If the "Continue CPR" prompt or "two-toned beep" option has
been enabled using MDLink, you will hear a "Continue CPR"
voice prompt or a beep every 15 seconds during the CPR session.
See the MDLink Manual.
Repeat Analyze/Charge/Defibrillation Shock Sequence
After CPR, the voice prompt will say, "Do not touch patient. Analyzing
rhythm." The Survivalink AED will again, analyze the patient's cardiac
rhythm; upon detecting a shockable rhythm, the three-shock sequence
will repeat.
The analyze/charge/defibrillation shock sequence of three defibrillation
shocks, followed by CPR will repeat until one of the following occurs:
• A non-shockable rhythm is detected
• Electrodes are disconnected
• The maximum number of defibrillation shocks per rescue is
reached
Non-Shockable Rhythm or Patient Converts to NSR
If the patient has a non-shockable rhythm, or, at some point during the
rescue sequence, converts to a non-shockable rhythm, the voice prompt
will say, "Check pulse. If no pulse, give CPR."
• If the patient is not breathing, continue CPR
• If the patient has a pulse, is conscious and breathing normally, make
the patient as comfortable as possible and wait for Advanced Life
Support (ALS) to arrive
• Continue to follow the voice prompts until the ALS personnel
arrive, or proceed as recommended by the Medical Director
