Summary Report

12-2
The ZOLL M2 unit continuously records and stores important rescue event information (up to 2
GB) in a unique case file while each patient is being monitored. When the ZOLL M2 unit is
used primarily for emergency situations, its data storage capacity is usually sufficient for more
than 100 rescue incidents (or cases); when it is used for long term patient monitoring, the unit
can store at least 4 incident (case) files. Each incident (case) file can contain a maximum of 500
MB of information which includes all snapshots, all displayed waveforms, all monitored
parameter trends, and full disclosure data for each rescue incident. When data storage space for
the current rescue incident reaches the 500 MB capacity, the ZOLL M2 stops storing incident
data and displays a CASE FILE FULL message. When a CASE FILE FULL message appears,
additional patient data can be stored in a new case file by powering the ZOLL M2 unit off for
30 seconds, and then powering it back on. The ZOLL M2 unit stores completed cases until its
memory is full, and then erases old cases (one by one) to make room for the current incident.
The actual information that is stored depends on usage. Also, the specific combination of stored
continuous waveform data depends on how the waveform recording settings are configured in
the Supervisor menu.
The ZOLL M2 monitor/defibrillator automatically records all snapshot events during a rescue
incident such as defibrillation events (ECG analyses, shock delivery), Pacer mode information,
heart rate alarms, and presenting ECG rhythm. Associated event information including device
control settings, time, and date are also recorded. This information can be printed as a Summary
Report. It is helpful to print the Summary Report of the current incident before powering off the
unit.
The following is a list of snapshot events included in the Summary Report that are
automatically recorded or user initiated during each rescue incident:
Presenting ECG Rhythm (when power is turned on following the first attachment of ECG
•
leads or defibrillator electrodes to the patient).
ECG Shockable Rhythm Analysis (AED mode only)
•
Shock delivery
•
CHECK PATIENT alert is triggered
•
Mode Selector is turned to PACER (after entering Manual mode)
•
Patient alarm is triggered
•
Stripchart recorder is turned on
•
Code marker is entered
•
Diagnostic ECG quick access key is activated
•
The ZOLL M2 unit stores and prints summary information in chronological order. The memory
allocated for summary data can hold more than 1000 defibrillation or recorder-activated events.
