Defibrillation
The energy levels and number of shocks required for automatic conversion are set in each simulation Patient Case.
Ensure the defibrillator pads are in good condition and are correctly placed on the defibrillator plates.
WARNING
During live defibrillation, the defibrillator and Patient Simulator may present a shock hazard. All standard safety precautions must be taken when using the defibrillator on the Patient Simulator. Read the Important Product Information booklet for more Cautions and Warnings.
CAUTION
Do not defibrillate on the ECG connectors on the Patient Simulator. This will damage the Patient Simulator.
NOTES
Always follow the safety instructions from the defibrillator manufacturer when using the defibrillator on the Patient Simulator.
To prevent overheating during defibrillation, do not exceed a defibrillation sequence of 3 shocks in 45 seconds followed by 1 minute of CPR.
After 30 minutes there must be at least 15 minutes pause in defibrillation before starting a new sequence. Do not repeat this for more than a 4-hour period.
Refer to LiveShock Upgrade Kit on how to install a new skin.
