Zoll 1400 Operators Manual

After 6-l 0 seconds of charging to the selected energy level, the charge indicator
light will illuminate on the apex paddle. A distinctive audible tone will sound and
the energy ready “SYNC XXXJ RDY.” will be displayed on the monitor. The
defibrrllator
is now ready.
All persons attending the patient should be warned to STAND CLEAR.
DISCHARGE DEFIBRILLATOR
Verify again that the ECG waveform is stable and
that a marker pulse appears ONLY with each Rwave
of the cardiac cycle.
Verify that no one is in contact with the patient,
monitoring cable or leads, bed rails, or any other
potential current pathway.
Press and hold both discharge buttons (one on
each paddle or if using multi-function electrodes,
the two buttons on the cable) simultaneously.
The defibrillator will discharge with the next
detected R-wave.
If additional countershocks are necessary, readjust the energy level as necessary
and repeat. Note that “SYNC XXX J SEL.” must be selected after each discharge.
NOTES Should you need to disarm the charged defibrillator (if countershock is not
needed), turn the selector switch to MONITOR ON or change the selected energy
level. Any stored energy will be dumped internally.
If the selected energy is changed in the
“SYNC XXXJ SEL.“.
Svnchronized Cardioversion
DEFIB ON mode, the monitor will display
If the defibrillator is not discharged within 60 seconds of reaching the selected
energy level, it will automatically dump the stored energy internally.
During the ten seconds just prior to this internal disarm, the charge ready tone will
beep intermittently. The charge ready tone will then stop and the monitor message
will be “SYNC XXXJ SEL.”
A “PADDLE FAULT” message will appear on the monitor whenever the paddles
or multi-function electrodes are not connected or are improperly seated in the unit,
The unit will disarm itself if such a fault occurs.
