Determine Patient Condition Following Medical Protocols; Begin Cpr Following Medical Protocols; Prepare Patient - ZOLL M2 Operator's Manual

The ZOLL M2 AED mode is preconfigured to deliver the first three shocks at increasing
energy settings (120, 150, 200 joules) for adults and energy settings (50, 70, 85 joules) for
pediatric patients. All shocks after the initial three shocks are delivered at the same energy
setting as the third shock.
All three energy settings in adult and pediatric modes are preconfigured. You can choose
between the adult and pediatric energy selection protocols but cannot change energy settings or
their sequence except via the device configuration function.
Once you have set the patient type, the ZOLL M2 selects and displays the default energy for
that patient type. After the first shock is delivered, the ZOLL M2 automatically escalates the
shock energy setting for the next shock that is appropriate for the patient. After the third shock,
all subsequent shocks are delivered at the third shock energy setting. Changing the patient type
causes the energy selection to return to the first shock setting.

Determine Patient Condition Following Medical Protocols

Verify:
Unconsciousness
•
Absence of breathing
•
Absence of pulse
•

Begin CPR Following Medical Protocols

Request additional assistance.

Prepare Patient

1. Remove all clothing covering the patient's chest. Dry chest if necessary. If the patient has
excessive chest hair, clip or shave it to ensure proper adhesion of the electrodes.
Attach hands-free therapy electrodes according to instructions on the electrode or Dura-padz
2.
gel packaging. Pads can be placed in the apex/sternum locations or in the anterior/posterior
(front/back) position for ECG analysis and defibrillation (see next section for illustration).
Note:
Ensure that the electrodes are making good contact with the patient's skin and are not
3.
covering any part of the ECG electrodes or other wires/devices attached to the patient.
Connect the hands-free therapy electrodes to the multi-function cable (MFC and CPR Series
4.
adapter or MFC-CPRD cable) if not already connected.
Note:
Note:
9650-000860-01 Rev.C
The CPR sensor must always be placed in the center of the patient's chest (over the
Xiphoid process) for accurate CPR monitoring.
If the therapy electrodes are not making good contact with the patient, the message
ATTACH PADS is displayed and energy delivery will not be allowed.
In AED Mode, analysis is only performed when Pads is the selected ECG lead (top
