"Attach Pads"
. – This indicates that the pads are not attached to the patient or the pads connector is
not plugged in. Check that the pads are properly placed and fully adhering to the patient and that there
are no air bubbles between the pads and the patient. Make sure that the pads are not touching each
other. If the pads are not sticking due to moisture, dry the patient. If the pads are not sticking due to
excessive hair, shave or clip excessive chest hair. If the prompts continue, try replacing the pads with a
new set. The "attach pads" blue LEDs will flash red during this message.
"Analyzing heart rhythm" -
Once the RESCUE SAM has determined that the pads are making a
good connection to the patient, the AED will start the ECG rhythm analysis. The unit analyzes the ECG
signal and determines whether a shockable or non-shockable rhythm is present. While analyzing, the AED
.
will continue to monitor the pad connections and will abort analysis if it detects any pad problems
"Do not touch the patient"
– This indicates that the RESCUE SAM is trying to analyze the patient's
heart rhythm and that the operator should not touch the patient. This message will be spoken at the
beginning of the analysis period and also if motion or interference has been detected. The "do not touch
patient" blue LED will flash during this message.
"No shock advised" –
This indicates that the RESCUE SAM has determined that a shock is not
required. The unit will not charge and the SHOCK button will not be enabled. The user will be prompted
to begin CPR, if needed, for a period of two minutes.
"Shock advised" –
This indicates that the RESCUE SAM has determined that a shock is recommended
and the unit will begin charging in anticipation of a defibrillation shock.
"Stand clear" –
This indicates that the RESCUE SAM is charging and that the operator and others
should stand clear of the patient. Analysis will continue during this phase and the "stand clear" blue LED
will continue to flash. A tone will sound to indicate charging progress. If the unit detects a rhythm change
to a non-shockable one, charging will abort and the user will be prompted to begin CPR, if needed, for a
period of two minutes.
"Press the red shock button" –
This indicates that the RESCUE SAM has fully charged, that the
heart rhythm analysis algorithm still indicates a shock is recommended, and the unit is ready to deliver a
shock. The operator should press the SHOCK button to deliver the shock. The "Shock" button will be lit
.
red during this phase
"No shock delivered"
– This indicates that the RESCUE SAM has aborted shock mode and internally
discharged. If while waiting for the shock button to be pressed, the unit detects a rhythm change to a
button is not
non-shockable rhythm, the unit will cancel the shock. Also, if the shock pressed within 15
seconds of the initial "press the red shock button" prompt, the unit will automatically cancel the shock.
"Begin CPR" –
This indicates that the user should perform CPR for two minutes. The unit will not be
monitoring the patient's ECG rhythm during this required two-minute CPR period. The "CPR" blue LED will
flash and a timing sound will be emitted at 100 beats/minute.
"Check pulse"
– This indicates a 10 second window to be used by the rescuer to check the heart
pulse.
