Operating the device and sequence of reanimation
6.11 Defibrillation required
If the device clearly identifies VF, then it will recommend defibrillation which is
automatically prepared inside the device.
The device prompts:
< Shock advised >
< Device is charging >
< Do not touch the patient >
< Device is charging >
< Do not touch the patient >
If the condenser is charged internally, then the power for the defibrillation impulse is
available for 15 seconds. This is signalled with the trigger button being lit up green.
The device prompts:
< Stand clear of patient. Deliver shock now >
Turn on green lit trigger key to give shock.
Pressing the trigger key during power charging (before it turns green) does
Note
not result in release of shock, rather it leads to internal safety discharge.
Once the defibrillation pulse has been given, a two minute phase follows for cardio
pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). On the HeartSave AED-M you can freely select the
cycles for the HLW between 1-5. The default is preset to 4.
Capacitor charging time for defibrillation depends on the available battery capacity.
Charging may take longer if the power module is partly discharged. If an error should
occur during charging, an intermittent warning beep will sound.

DANGER
Before pressing the trigger button, disconnect all equipment
which is not defibrillation-proof from the patient!
Before and during the energy discharge, all those
participating in the reanimation have to step back and all
contact with the patient or conductive parts (e.g. a stretcher)
must be avoided.
