A 2-minute NSA pause for CPR
automatically starts after voice
instruction is given when no shock is
advised (NSA).
If the user presses the i-button for
optional CPR coaching, the HeartStart
provides coaching for 5 cycles of CPR,
starting and ending with compressions,
when the CPR Coaching parameters
are also set to their default values. The
number of CPR cycles varies for other
NSA pause timer and CPR Coaching
parameter settings.
Note: Because the NSA pause ends upon
completion of a CPR cycle in order to
maximize the benefits of CPR, the actual
duration of the pause may differ slightly
from the timer setting.
The CPR reminder voice instructions
provided at the beginning of a pause
interval assures the user that it is safe
to touch the patient, instructs the user
to begin CPR, and invites the user to
press the i-button for guidance in the
basic steps of CPR.
Note: CPR Coaching is available only with
the CPR3 and CPR4 settings.
