Turn On Unit; Set Patient Type; Select Energy Level - ZOLL M2 Operator's Manual

Turn on Unit

Turn the mode selector to DEFIB. If the unit was previously turned off, the red and yellow
lights on the top of the unit flash on and off, and the message ALL TESTS PASSED displays.
Note:

Set Patient Type

Before starting therapy, make sure to specify the correct patient type (that appears at the top of
the window display). To change the patient type, turn the trim knob to highlight the patient type
at the top of the window. Press the trim knob to select it and then turn it to select another patient
type. Press the trim knob again to confirm the selection.
After setting the patient type, the ZOLL M2 unit selects and displays the default energy for the
selected patient type. It also automatically selects the energy for subsequent shocks that are
appropriate for the patient.

1 Select Energy Level

You can either manually select the energy level or use the pre-configured energy settings. To
select the energy level, press the Energy Select arrows up or down to select the desired energy
level. These buttons are located either on the front of the unit or on the STERNUM paddle.
If Shocks 1, 2, and 3 have been configured to escalating energy levels using the Auto Energy
Escalation feature, the ZOLL M2 automatically sets the energy to the preconfigured Energy
Level: Shock 1, 2, 3 setting at power-up and after each of the first two shocks. Manually
changing the energy level outside the preprogrammed sequence and delivering a shock disables
the automatic escalation function.
