Purpose Functionality The DefiMonitor XD is a portable defibrillator / monitor that is intended for use of trained medical per- sonnel in indoor and out-of-doors emergency care setting with environmental condition specified in the technical data. DefiMonitor XD is designed to be used during ground transportation. DefiMonitor XD is battery powered and can be powered by mains.
Page 13
The high-intensity current pulse is called defibrillation. DefiMonitor XD will apply high-intensity current pulse in biphasic waveform. In adult mode, DefiMonitor XD will apply up to 360J, in pediatric mode up to 100J. DefiMonitor XD DefiMonitor XD provides asynchronous manual defibrillation using multifunction elec- trodes or paddles.
SpO2 SpO2 monitoring included in DefiMonitor XD is a portable pulse oximeter intended as a continuous non-invasive monitor of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate of adult, pediatric, and neo- natal patients during both no motion and motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused.
Patients older than one year where pacemaker therapy is indicated. SpO2 Nellcor OxiMax™ technology allows the use of different types of SpO2 sensors. The intended patient group is specified in the instruction for use if the SpO2 sensor. DefiMonitor XD | 24050 | GB | I 15 / 108...
The applied part is defined in the instructions for use of the sensor itself. 3.3.5 Intended use environment The DefiMonitor XD will be used on scene of emergency. The DefiMonitor XD can be used in road am- bulances as well. The limitations for temperature, humidity and air pressure are specified in chapter 11.7.
Description of device General description The DefiMonitor XD is an external defibrillator with integrated 6-channel ECG. The ECG can be rec- orded either via the SavePads, the defibrillation paddles or the four-pin patient cable with self-adhe- sive ECG electrodes. The DefiMonitor XD is available in various models. The respective model will be shown on the monitor when the defibrillator is turned on.

SavePads are self-adhesive multifunction electrodes which can be used for defibrillation, stimulation, monitoring and cardioversion. SavePads are available in various models, see chapter 12.5. The DefiMonitor XD is delivered with SavePads Connect as standard. The SavePads Connect are connected to the DefiMonitor XD using the SavePads Connect cable.
Using the DefiMonitor XD 7.4.4.1 SavePads Mini / Pediatric mode When the DefiMonitor XD detects that SavePads Mini are connected, the energy is limited to max. 100 joules. The DefiMonitor XD is in Pediatric Mode. This applies for asynchronous and synchronous de- fibrillation.

Triggering defibrillation can temporarily disrupt the ECG and SpO2 measurement. 7.10.3.1 MAN (manual mode) After switching the device on and successfully carrying out the self-test, all DefiMonitor XD models will automatically go into manual mode (MAN). “MAN” mode will be shown in information area 2 of the monitor.
Press the paddles on to the patient’s chest with at least 60 N (6 kg) of force. • Wait until the ECG is visible on the monitor. ➢ The DefiMonitor XD now highlights the R waves of the ECG. • Make sure that the ECG is free of artefacts.
Keep both paddle buttons pressed until the defibrillation output at the next marked QRS complex is completed. ➢ Until defibrillation is triggered, a changed beep will sound. ✓ If the energy is delivered to the patient, the DefiMonitor XD displays this.

SpO2 measurement can be used to determine functional oxygen saturation. The sensor can also be used to determine the pulse rate. If the patient is not connected to the DefiMonitor XD with ECG elec- trodes or via SavePads, the pulse rate will be displayed on the monitor instead of the heart rate. As soon as the heart rate can be determined via the ECG signal (ECG electrodes or SavePads), the source automatically switches back to ECG.

DefiMonitor XD switches to MAN mode. Pacer mode can only be activated when the DefiMonitor XD is in MAN mode and multifunction elec- trodes are connected. Positioning the multifunction electrodes is described in chapter 7.4 .
Various stimulation intensities (current strengths) are available depending on the pacer mode: DEMAND, FIX, OVERDRIVE 10 to 180 mA The following current strengths are preset when the respective modes are activated: 66 / 108 DefiMonitor XD | 24050 | GB | I...

Separate the patient from other electrical medical devices which are not defibrillation- proof for the defibrillation. In AED-Mode, the ECG is analysed via an implemented algorithm. This is only possible when using the SavePads. 68 / 108 DefiMonitor XD | 24050 | GB | I...
Note If the patient is connected to the DefiMonitor XD , an ECG analysis will be carried out immediately. In this case, the other voice messages will be skipped. In basic state, a dashed line appears on the display and the acoustic message Check electrodes is played if the electrodes are not connected.
Options for leaving the status of readiness to shock If the DefiMonitor XD looses the connection to the patient in the status of readiness to shock, the en- ergy is discharged internally. The status of readiness to shock will remain for 15 seconds. If no shock delivery takes place within this period, the energy is discharged internally.
If the shock is not triggered within 15s, ■ An internal safety discharge of the defibrillation energy takes place. ■ the DefiMonitor XD outputs the message No shock delivered ■ the DefiMonitor XD instructs for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. 7.13.4 Defibrillation not required If the device cannot find a rhythm requiring defibrillation, it will recommend cardiopulmonary resuscita- tion (CPR).
After each use, check the DefiMonitor XD and accessories for damage. • Clean the DefiMonitor XD and accessories after each use. • Disinfect the DefiMonitor XD and the accessories if there is a risk of infection, see chapter 9.1. • Replace disposable accessories. •...

To stop the printout, press the printer button (16). ✓ Printout is produced at 25 mm/s. The data remains in the event memory after printout and after switching off the DefiMonitor XD. It can be printed out as often as required.
When starting the device for the first time after formatting a SaveCard, it will take considerably longer because the device performs various self-tests. The device then resumes normal operation again. Inserting / replacing the SaveCard Fig. 34 DefiMonitor XD – open bottom view Slot for SaveCard SaveCard eject button Cover 8.1.1 Inserting SaveCard...
Clean the device and all its accessories with soap and water solution. Use a slightly damp, clean cloth. Use isopropyl alcohol to disinfect it. For cleaning and disinfecting the SpO2 sensor, please observe the separate instructions for use for the sensor. 78 / 108 DefiMonitor XD | 24050 | GB | I...
Observe the current valid dangerous goods guidelines for shipping lithium batteries. If you are shipping the DefiMonitor XD together with the energy module, break the contact between the energy module and the DefiMonitor XD for shipment. This prevents the device from switching on during transport.
