WARNING! Warn all persons in attendance of the patient to STAND CLEAR prior to defibrillator
discharge.
Do not touch the bed, patient, or any equipment connected to the patient during
defibrillation. A severe shock can result. Do not allow exposed portions of the patient's
body to come into contact with metal objects, such as a bed frame, as unwanted
pathways for defibrillation current may result.

order to minimize patient impedance and achieve optimal results.
Note:
Use both thumbs to simultaneously press and hold both SHOCK buttons (one on each paddle)
until energy is delivered to the patient.
Note:
The delivered energy level and the shock number (1) are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
If additional countershocks are needed, follow steps 1 through 3 of this procedure starting on
page 9-3 to readjust the energy settings, charge the unit, and deliver the shock.
