6. Follow defibrillation procedure in the section "Operating the Defibrillator".
NOTE: The defib/pacer automatically goes to defib (async) mode
after sync discharge.

Operating the Pacer

You can use MDE's standard disposable adhesive electrodes for either pacing, or for both pacing
and defibrillation. In either case, it is necessary to capture the patient's ECG with a standard 3-
lead cable and proper ECG electrodes.
CAUTION: Prolonged noninvasive pacing can cause skin irritation
or burns under the pacing electrodes. Noninvasive pacing should be
discontinued as soon as an alternative pacing method is available.
CAUTION: The pacing stimulus may cause discomfort or pain in
conscious patients, depending on the pace current magnitude.
Sedation with analgesic medication may be required.
NOTE: Maintain constant surveillance of patient during noninvasive
pacing.

To Pace with Dedicated Electrodes:

1. Apply MDE disposable adhesive defib/pace electrodes as shown in section "Using
Defibrillator and Pacer Paddles and Electrodes".
2. Connect the pace output cable (MDE part #E2700-73) behind the Prism monitor on the
defib/pacer base as shown:
Tighten the locking ring and make sure the connection is secure.
3. Press the POWER ON key to turn the defib/pacer on. The green indicator light will come on.
