Triggering Defibrillation - Primedic DefiMonitor XD Operating Instructions Manual

Using the DefiMonitor XD
7.10.3

Triggering defibrillation

Note
The DefiMonitor XD carries out automatic impedance measurement. If it doesn't de-
tect the patient, the electrodes and the adhesive contact on the skin need to be
checked. Defibrillation can only be carried out if the DefiMonitor XD detects the pa-
tient.
Note
Triggering defibrillation can temporarily disrupt the ECG and SpO2 measurement.

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.
