Operating the device and sequence of reanimation
< Stand clear of patient, Press lit shock button now >
If the trigger button is pushed while the capacitor is charging (before the
Note
button turns green) no shock will be released and an internal safety discharge
will be initiated instead.
This process is repeated in accordance with the ERC Guidelines 2005. After that, there
will be a pause, depending on the set-up setting for cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR).
The charge time of the capacitor for defibrillation depends on the available battery
capacity. If the power module is slightly discharged, the charge time can be slightly
longer.
If an error should occur during charging, an intermittent warning beep will sound.
If, when the device is switched on, no ECG is done for 10 minutes or no
Note
button is pressed, the device automatically switches off. An intermittent
warning beep is signalled for approx. 30 seconds before switching off.
Pressing any button or any other activity will interrupt the switching off
process.

7.12 Defibrillation not required

If the device can not find a shockable rhthym, then it recommends cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR).
Once the CPR time has expired, the device returns to ECG analysis.
