5. ECG Monitor Mode(DDU-2450 only)5.3 Monitoring The PatientAfter the ECG monitoring electrodes are connected, the defibrillator displays a non-diagnostic ECG of the patient’sheart rhythm and heart rate in a Lead II configuration. While in ECG Monitor Mode, the defibrillator’s shock capabilityis disabled; however, the defibrillator continues to evaluate the patient’s ECG for a potentially shockable rhythm.MonitoringMonitoring MonitoringPlug In Rescue PadsECG Monitor Mode Screen Shockable rhythm detectedIf a shockable rhythm is detected, the defibrillator prompts Plug in Rescue Pads.• Confirm the patient’s condition: Not responsive? Not breathing? No signs of circulation?• Remove the ECG Monitoring Adapter and connect the defibrillation pads (Rescue Pads) to the AED.• If not already applied, apply the defibrillation pads to the patient’s chest. If necessary, remove the ECGmonitoring electrodes.• Follow the AED’s voice and onscreen text prompts.WARNINGDo not allow defibrillation pads to touch each other, or to touch other ECG electrodes, leadwires, dressings, transdermal patches, etc. Such contact can cause electrical arcing and patientskin burns during defibrillation and may divert defibrillating energy away from the heart.29DAC-A2510EN-BG
