How to Use the LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator

DEFIBRILLATION IN MANUAL MODE

The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator provides a Manual mode to override the AED features of the
defibrillator. Manual mode provides operator-initiated analysis, charge, shock, and disarm
functions. This mode is useful in a tiered response system when a provider trained in manual
defibrillation and authorized to place the defibrillator in Manual mode takes over the scene from
a BLS-AED trained provider.
To use Manual mode:
1 Press the Menu button.
2 Select YES to enter Manual mode. The ECG trace and Heart Rate Indicator appear on
the screen.
3 If the displayed ECG rhythm appears shockable, press CHARGE to initiate charging of
the defibrillator. The screen will indicate that the defibrillator is charging and a charge tone
will sound.
4 Clear everyone away from the patient, bed, or any equipment connected to the patient.
5 When the charge is complete, press the flashing shock button
