1 Introduction The M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor is designed to meet your resuscitation and monitoring needs. This guide provides instructions for safe and proper operation, set-up, configuration, and care of your M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor. In this chapter, you’ll find general information that you should become famil- iar with before using the defibrillator/monitor.
Overview Overview The M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor is a lightweight, porta- ble, semi-automatic external defibrillator. It offers two modes of operation for defibrillation: Automated External Defibrillation (AED) Mode Manual Mode Both modes incorporate a low energy SMART Biphasic waveform for defibrillation.
Page 17
These events can be printed as they occur or as part of an Event Summary. The M4735A Heart- stream XL Defibrillator/Monitor also enables you to store data and events on an optional Data Card for downloading to CodeRunner Web Data Manage- ment Systems.
Intended Use Intended Use The M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor is for use in the hospital by qualified medical personnel trained in the operation of the device and qual- ified by training in basic life support, advanced cardiac life support, or defibrillation.
The AED algorithm is not designed to handle erratic spiking problems caused by a properly or improperly functioning pacemaker. In patients with cardiac pacemakers, the M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor may have reduced sensitivity and not detect all shockable rhythms. The AED algorithm is not intended for children under 8 years of age. For chil-...
Asynchronous defibrillation is the initial treatment for ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, in patients who are pulseless and unresponsive. The SMART Biphasic waveform utilized in the M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor has undergone clinical testing in adults. These trials support the waveform’s effectiveness for defibrillation of ventricular tachyarrhythmias at the 150J setting.
Noninvasive Pacing Therapy (Optional) Noninvasive Pacing Therapy (Optional) The M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor provides noninvasive transcutaneous pacing by delivering a monophasic, electrical stimulus to the heart. This stimulus is intended to cause cardiac depolarization and myocar- dial contraction. The medical care provider selects the stimulus current and rate settings.
Safety Considerations General warnings and cautions that apply to use of the M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor are provided in Chapter 13. Additional warnings and cautions specific to a particular feature are provided in the appropriate section of this guide.

Introduction Introduction Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method of continuously measuring oxygen saturation (SpO ) in arterial blood. The resultant SpO reading indicates the percentage of hemoglobin molecules in the arterial blood which are saturated with oxygen. SpO monitoring is one of the tools available to assist in assess- ing a patient’s cardiac and respiratory systems.
All of the light from the emitter must pass through the patient’s tissue. The sensor site should be free of vibration and excessive motion. Power cables should be kept away from the sensor cable and connec- tor. M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor...

There are three ways to monitor ECG for synchronized cardioversion: multifunction defib electrode pads, 3- or 5-lead monitoring electrodes, or external paddles attached to the M4735A Heartstream XL You may also use an external Agilent or Hewlett Packard ECG monitor while performing synchronized cardioversion.
Using Multifunction Defib Electrode Pads Using Multifunction Defib Electrode Pads To prepare for synchronized cardioversion using multifunction defib electrode pads, perform the following steps: 1. If needed, insert a Data Card (as described in “Using a Data Card (Optional)” on 2-13). 2.
4. Connect the ECG cable to the Heartstream XL. (See Figure 6-3.) 5. Press Sync On. /($' 6. Use to select the best lead that displays a large QRS complex. (See 6(/(&7 “Selecting the Lead” on page 4-7.) M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor...
Using External Paddles Using External Paddles To prepare for synchronized cardioversion using external paddles, perform the following steps. 1. If needed, insert a Data Card (as described in “Using a Data Card (Optional)” on 2-13). 2. Apply monitoring electrodes, if desired. (See “Applying Monitoring Elec- trodes”...
Page 102
Delivering a Synchronized Shock If desired, you may increase or decrease the selected energy level after &+$5*( pressing by moving the Energy Select knob until the desired energy level is displayed. The defibrillator charges to the modified energy level automatically. Wait until the current charge reaches the selected energy level before proceeding.
When the patient is already connected to the bedside monitoring equipment, there is an external monitoring cable which plugs into the ECG Output jack of the bedside monitor and connects to the M4735A Heartstream XL ECG Input for monitoring. To use an external monitor with the Heartstream XL, perform the following steps: 1.
Paced pulses are delivered through multi- function defib electrode pads that are applied to the patient’s bare chest. This chapter explains the pacing option available with the Heartstream XL and describes how to perform pacing. M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor...
Pacing Operational Controls Pacing Operational Controls In Manual Mode, the following pacing operational controls are displayed on the handle of the Heartstream XL. )LJXUH 3DFLQJ &RQWUROV 0DQXDO 0RGH RQO\ Demand Mode Versus Fixed Mode The Heartstream XL can deliver paced pulses in either demand or fixed mode. In demand mode, the pacer only delivers paced pulses when the patient’s heart rate is lower than the selected pacing rate.
2. Connect the pads to the patient cable. (See Figure 6-3.) 3. If needed, insert a Data Card (as described in “Using a Data Card (Optional)” on 2-13). 4. Turn the Energy Select knob to Manual On. M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor...

Operational Checks Operational Checks The following operational checks are intended to quickly verify the viability of the Heartstream XL. Perform these checks regularly, at the intervals speci- fied, along with visual inspection of the device and all cables, controls, acces- sories and supplies.
Operational Checks Using Pads To perform the Shift/System Check using multifunction defib electrode pads: 1. Turn the Heartstream XL off. 2. Connect the M1781A 50 ohm test load to the pads patient cable (instead of pads). 3. If a Data Card is routinely used, insert a Data Card into the Heartstream XL.

Electromagnetic Compatibility Electromagnetic Compatibility When using the M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor, electromagnetic compatibility with surrounding devices should be assessed. A medical device can either generate or receive electromagnetic interference. Testing for electromagnetic compatibility EMC with and without the appropriate accessories has been performed according to the international standard for EMC for medical devices (IEC 60601-1-2).
Electromagnetic Compatibility Reducing Electromagnetic Interference The M4735A Heartstream XL Defibrillator/Monitor and associated accessories are susceptible to interference from other RF energy sources and continuous, repetitive, power line bursts. Examples of other sources of RF interference are medical devices, cellular products, information technology equipment and radio/television transmission.
The criteria used for degradation is not specified by the standard and may vary with the manufacturer. 127( For additional information about compliance with the EMC standards lease see the Declaration of Conformity Statement available at: http://www.healthcare.agilent.com/mpg-reginfo/conformity.html.
