5.5 Performing defibrillation

5.5.1 Semi-automatic defibrillation in AED mode
Requirement
80 EN MEDUCORE Standard
The defibrillation sequence in the AED mode described here
corresponds to the device settings as delivered. The operator menu
enables you to adapt the device to users' qualification level and to
provide optimal support to the latter during resuscitation measures
whilst taking the regional features into account.
• The trunk cable and defibrillation electrodes are connected
"4.4 Connecting the trunk cable and defibrillation electrodes",
page 57).
• The device is switched on

• The patient group is selected
group", page 78).
Risk of injury due to missing battery in the AED mode and in
manual mode!
Without a battery, the capacitor for shock energy in the device
cannot charge. This prevents defibrillation and delays treatment.
⇒ Insert a battery before using the AED mode or the manual
mode.
Risk of injury due to unsuitable AED analysis algorithm in
children below one year of age!
The device's AED analysis algorithm is not designed for children
below one year of age and may result in injury to the child.
⇒ Do not use the AED mode on children below one year of age.
Delay in treatment due to simultaneous voice prompts from
defibrillator and ventilator!
If the defibrillator in AED mode is used in conjunction with a
ventilator which also guides the user through cardiopulmonary
resuscitation by means of voice prompts (e.g.
MEDUMAT Easy CPR), the simultaneous voice prompts from
defibrillator and ventilator may confuse the user, and delay
treatment.
⇒ When using the defibrillator in AED mode and a ventilator at
the same time, switch off the ventilator voice prompts.
