Product Description
The ZOLL® MSeries® products combine a defibrillator, ECG display, advanced monitoring capa bilities, and
Noninvasive Transcutaneous Pacing (NTP) with communication, data printing and recording capabilities in a single
lightweight portable instrument. The unit has been designed for all resuscitation situations and its small, compact,
lightweight design makes it ideal for accompanying patients during transport. The product is powered by AC or DC
mains and an easily replaced battery pack that is quickly recharged in the device when it is connected to AC or DC
mains. In addition, the unit’s batteries may be recharged and tested using ZOLL PowerCharger systems designed for
standard interchangeable ZOLL battery packs.
The product is designed for use in both the hospital and the rugged EMS environment. All of its ruggedized features
add to its durability in hospital applications. The device is a versatile automated external defibrillator with or without
manual capabilities and may be configured to operate in manual, advisory or semi-automated modes. Semi-automated
versions of the device have a distinctive front panel with a single “ON” position. Conventional hospital style devices,
which can be configured for manual, advisory or semi-automated operation, have a standardized ZOLL operator
interface.
device’s charging and discharging is fully controlled by the operator. In advisory and semi-automatic modes, some
features of the device are automate d and a sophisticated detection algorithm is used to identify ventricular fibrillation
and determine the appropriateness of defibrillator shock delivery. Units may be configured to automatically charge,
analyze, recharge, and prompt the operator to “PRESS SHOCK,” depending on local protocols. The unit is switched
from the semi-automated mode to manual mode for ACLS use by pressing the appropriate soft key on the front panel.
The MSeries assists caregivers during cardiopulminary resuscitation (CPR) by evaluating the rate and depth of chest
compressions, and providing feedback to the rescuer. Real CPR Help
CPRD-to-MFC connector. Real CPR Help is available in the M Series unit with software version 38.90 or higher.
Information regarding the unit’s operation, patient ECG, and other physiological waveforms are displayed on a large
5.66 inch diagonal display which provides high contrast and visibility under virtually all lighting conditions. Operating
and warning messages are displayed on the monitor and the unit can also be configured with voice prompts to alert the
user to unit status. Self-diagnostic tests are performed when the instrument is turned on and the unit is periodically
tested during operation.
A sophisticated data collection system, an optional internal summary report feature with printer, and PCMCIA cards are
available for this unit. A PCMCIA card can be installed in the unit to record ECG and virtually all device data when the
device is turned on. In addition, voice data from any incident around this device can also be recorded. The data stored
on the PCMCIA card can be reviewed and archived on a properly equipped personal computer using ZOLL Data
Control™ software.
An annotating stripchart recorder can be included to provide immediate documentation as well as summary report
functions about patient care and treatment during use.
Some MSeries products are intended for use in the semiautomatic mode by first responders and emergency medical
technicians certified by an appropriate federal, state or local government authority. Some MSeries products are
intended for use in manual mode by personnel certified by appropriate federal, state or local authority to provide
advanced life support care.
When operating in the manual configuration the device operates as a conventional defibrillator where the

M SERIES OPERATOR’S GUIDE
Defibrillator Function
The MSeries products contain a DC defibrillator capable
of delivering up to 360 joules of energy (200 joules for
biphasic units). It may be used in synchronized mode to
perform synchronized cardioversion by using the R-wave
of the patient’s ECG as a timing reference. The unit uses
paddles or disposable, pre-gelled, MFE Pads for
defibrillation.
Intended Use — Manual Operation
Use of the MSeries products in the manual mode for
defibrillation is indicated on victims of cardiac arrest
where there is apparent lack of circulation as indicated
by:
•Unconsciousness
•Absence of breathing
•Absence of pulse.
This product should be used only by qualified medical
personnel for converting ventricular fibrillation and rapid
ventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm or other cardiac
rhythms capable of producing hemodynamically
significant heart beats.
Intended Use — Semiautomatic Operation (AED)
The MSeries products are designed for use by
emergency care personnel who have completed training
and certification requirements applicable to the use of a
defibrillator where the device operator controls delivery
of shocks to the patient.
They are specifically designed for use in early
defibrillation programs where the delivery of a
defibrillator shock during resuscitation involving CPR,
transportation, and definitive care are incorporated into a
medically-approved patient care protocol.
The MSeries products must be prescribed for use by a
physician or medical advisor of an emergency response
team.
Use of the device in the Semiautomatic mode for
defibrillation is indicated on victims of cardiac arrest
where there is apparent lack of circulation as indicated
by:
•Unconsciousness
•Absence of breathing
•Absence of pulse.
Specifications for the ECG rhythm analysis function are
provided at the end of this section.
The CPR monitoring function is not intended for use on
patients under 8 years of age.
Semiautomatic Operation Contraindications for Use
The rhythm analysis function and/or heart rate counting
function may not reliably identify ventricular fibrillation in
the presence of an implantable pacemaker. Inspection of
the electrocardiogram and clinical evidence of
cardiopulmonary arrest should be the basis for any
treatment of patients with implantable pacemakers.
Do not use the rhythm analysis function during patient
movement on a stretcher or in an ambulance or other
conveyance. A patient must be motionless du ring ECG
analysis. Do not touch the patient during analysis. Cease
all movement via stretcher or vehicle prior to analyzing
the ECG. If using the device in an emergency vehicle,
bring the vehicle to a halt before activating the analysis
function.
Note: Do not use the unit’s AED function on patients
under 8 years of age.
Defibrillator Complications
Inappropriate defibrillation or cardioversion of a patient
(e.g., with no malignant arrhythmia) may precipitate
ventricular fibrillation, asystole, or other dangerous
arrhythmias.
Defibrillation without proper application of electrode pads
or paddle electrolyte gel may be ineffective and cause
burns, particularly when repeated shocks are necessary.
Erythema or hyperemia of the skin under the paddles or
MFE Pads often occurs; this effect is usually enhanced
along the perimeter of the paddle or electrode. This
reddening should substantially lessen within 72 hours.
Defibrillator Output Energy
The MSeries products may deliver up to 360 joules into
a 50 ohm impedance. The energy delivered through the
chest wall, however, is determined by the patient’s
transthoracic impedance. An adequate amount of
electrolyte gel must be applied to the paddles and a
force of 10-12 kilograms must be applied to each paddle
in order to minimize this impedance. If MFE Pads are
used, make sure that they are properly applied. (Refer to
the instructions on the Multi-Function Electrode
package).
Intended Use — CPR Monitoring
The CPR monitoring function provides visual and audio
feedback designed to encourage rescuers to perform
chest compressions at the AHA/ERC recommended rate
of 100 compressions per minute. Visual prompts
encourage a compression depth of 1.5 to 2 inches (3.8 to
5.0 cm) for adult patients.

General Information
External Pacemaker (Pacer Version
Only)
Non-invasive Transcutaneous Pacing (NTP) is an
established and proven technique. This therapy is easily
and rapidly applied in both emergency and nonemergency situations when temporary cardiac
stimulation is indicated.
Some MSeries products may contain an optional
demand pacemaker consisting of a pulse generator and
ECG sensing circuitry. The output current of the
pacemaker is continuously variable from 0 to 140 mA
and the rate is continuously variable from 30 to 180
pulses per minute (ppm).
The pacing output pulse is delivered to the heart by
specially designed ZOLL MFE Pads placed on the back
and the precordium.
The characteristics of the output pulse, together with the
design and placement of the electrodes, minimize
cutaneous nerve stimulation, cardiac stimulation
threshold currents, and reduce discomfort due to skeletal
muscle contraction.
The unique design of the MSeries products allow clear
viewing and interpretation of the electrocardiogram
(ECG) on the display without offset or distortion during
external pacing.
Proper operation of the device, together with correct
electrode placement, is critical to obtaining optimal
results. Every operator must be thoroughly familiar with
these operating instructions.
Intended Use — Pacemaker
This product may be used for temporary external cardiac
pacing in conscious or unconscious patients as an
alternative to endocardial stimulation.
Note: This device must not be connected to internal
pacemaker electrodes.
The purposes of pacing include:
Resuscitation from standstill or bradycardia of any
etiology:
Noninvasive pacing has been used for resuscitation from
cardiac standstill, reflex vagal standstill, drug induced
standstill (due to procainamide, quinidine, digitalis, bblockers, verapamil, etc.) and unexpected circulatory
arrest (due to anesthesia, surgery, angiography, and
other therapeutic or diagnostic procedures). It has also
been used for temporary acceleration of bradycardia in
Stokes-Adams disease and sick-sinus syndrome. It is
safer, more reliable, and more rapidly applied in an
emergency than endocardial or other temporary
electrodes.
As a standby when standstill or bradycardia might be
expected:
Noninvasive pacing may be useful as a standby when
cardiac arrest or symptomatic bradycardia might be
expected due to acute myocardial infarction, drug
toxicity, anesthesia or surgery. It is also useful as a
temporary treatment in patients awaiting pacemaker
implants or the introduction of transvenous therapy. In
standby pacing applications, noninvasive pacing may
provide an alternative to transvenous therapy that avoids
the risks of displacement, infection, hemorrhage,
embolization, perforation, phlebitis and mechanical or
electrical stimulation of ventricular tachycardia or
fibrillation associated with endocardial pacing.
Suppression of tachycardia:
Increased heart rates in response to external pacing
often suppress ventricular ectopic activity and may
prevent tachycardia.
Pacemaker Complications
Ventricular fibrillation will not respond to pacing and
requires immediate defibrillation. The patient’s
dysrhythmia must therefore be determined immediately,
so that appropriate therapy can be employed. If the
patient is in ventricular fibrillation and defibrillation is
successful, but cardiac standstill (asystole) ensues, the
pacemaker should be used.
Ventricular or supraventricular tachycardias may be
interrupted with pacing but in an emergency or during
circulatory collapse, synchronized cardioversion is faster
and more certain. (See Synchronized Cardioversion
Section.)
Electromechanical dissociation may occur following
prolonged cardiac arrest or in other disease states with
myocardial depression. Pacing may then produce ECG
responses without effective mechanical contractions,
and other treatment is required.
Pacing may evoke undesirable repetitive responses,
tachycardia, or fibrillation in the presence of generalized
hypoxia, myocardial ischemia, cardiac drug toxicity,
electrolyte imbalance, or other cardiac diseases.
Pacing by any method tends to inhibit intrinsic
rhythmicity. Abrupt cessation of pacing, particularly at
rapid rates, can cause ventricular standstill and should
be avoided.
Noninvasive Temporary Pacing may cause discomfort of
varying intensity, which occasionally can be severe and
preclude its continued use in conscious patients.
Similarly, unavoidable skeletal muscle contraction may
be troublesome in very sick patients and may limit
continuous use to a few hours. Erythema or hyperemia
of the skin under the MFE Pads often occurs; this effect
is usually enhanced along the perimeter of the electrode.
1-5
M SERIES OPERATOR’S GUIDE
This reddening should substantially lessen within 72
hours.
There have been reports of burns under the an te rior
electrode when pacing adult patients with severely
restricted blood flow to the skin. Prolonged pacing
should be avoided in these cases and periodic
inspection of the skin is advised.
There are reports of transient inhibition of spontaneous
respiration in unconscious patients with previously
available units when the anterior electrode was placed
too low on the abdomen.
This device must not be connected to internal
pacemaker electrodes.
Pediatric Pacing
Pacing can be performed on pediatric patients weighing
33lbs / 15kg or less using special ZOLL pediatric MFE
Pads. Prolonged pacing (in excess of 30 minutes),
particularly in neonates, could cause burns. Periodic
inspection of the underlying skin is recommended.
Monitor
The patient’s ECG is monitored by connecting the patient
to the unit via the 3 or 5 lead patient cable, MFE Pads, or
through the paddles. Four seconds of ECG is presented
on the display along with the following information:
•averaged heart rate, derived from measuring R to R
intervals
•lead selections - I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V (with ECG
cable), PADDLES, or PADS
•ECG size - 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3 cm/mV
•pacemaker output in millia mps (Pacer version only)
•pacemaker stimulus rate in pulses per minute (Pacer
versions only)
•defibrillator output in joules
•other operational prompts, messages, and diagnostic codes
Monitoring or diagnostic ECG bandwidth is selectable.
Recorder Function
A strip recorder is provided to document events. The
strip recorder normally operates in the delay mode (6
seconds) to insure capture of critical ECG information.
The recorder may be activated manually by pressing the
RECORDER button. It will be activated automatically
whenever a defibrillation SHOCK is delivered, a heart
rate alarm occurs, or the rhythm analysis function is
activated. The strip recorder may also be configu r ed not
to print during these events.
Paddle — Electrode Options
The MSeries products will defibrillate, cardiovert and
monitor ECG using either defibrillation paddles or ZOLL
Multi-Function Electrode (MFE) Pads.
The pacer version of the MSeries will also pace using
ZOLL MFE Pads.
Energy Select, Charge, and Shock controls are located
on the paddles and front panel. When using MFE Pads,
the controls on the front panel of the unit must be used.
To switch between paddles and MFE Pads, remove
Multi-Function cable from the apex paddle and connect
the MFE pads to the Multi-Function cable.
The Advisory function cannot be activated unless MFE
Pads are attached to the Multi-Function Cable and used
as the ECG monitoring lead.
Note: The MFE Pads, Pediatric MFE Pads, Stat-padz
and ECG electrodes (not the ECG cable) are
disposable, single-use items.
Batteries
The MSeries products use easily replaced sealed, lead-
acid battery packs that, when new and fully charged, will
provide at least 2.5 hours of monitoring. Use of the
defibrillator, stripchart recorder, and pacemaker will
reduce this time.
When a “LOW BATTERY” message appears on the
display and the unit emits two beeps in conjunction with
the displayed message, the battery must be replaced
and recharged.
Internal Battery Charger
Battery charging can be performed within the devi ce via
AC mains, an optional DC input, or by using an external
battery charger.
When the M Series products are plugged into AC mains
or to a DC power supply, the CHARGER ON indicators
will operate in the following manner:
The orange-yellow CHARGER ON indicator will
illuminate continuously whenever; the device is turned
OFF and charging the battery or turned ON with a
battery installed.
The green CHARGER ON indicator will illuminate
continuously whenever the unit is turned OFF and the
installed battery has been fully charged to present
capacity.
The green and orange-yellow Charger On indicators will
illuminate alternately when no
unit or a battery charging fault has been detected.
When the device is not connected to AC mains, the
CHARGER ON indicators will remain extinguished.
If your MSeries unit does not function as expected, see
the AC Charger Troubleshooting section on page B-7.

or
WARNINGS
General
•Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this device to use by or on
the order of a physician.
•The use of external pacing/defibrillation electrodes or
adapter devices from sources other than ZOLL is not
recommended. ZOLL makes no representations or
warranties regarding the performance or effectiveness of
its products when used in conjunction with pacing/
defibrillation electrodes or adapter devices from other
sources. Device failures attributable to the use of pacing/
defibrillation electrodes or adapters not manufactured by
ZOLL may void ZOLL's warranty.
•Proper operation of the unit, together with correct
electrode placement is critical to obtaining optimal
results. Operators must be thoroughly familiar with
proper device operation.
•Do not use the unit in semiautomatic mode during patient
movement. A patient must be motionless during ECG
analysis. Do not touch the patient during analysis. Cease
all movement via stretcher or vehicle before analyzing
the ECG. If using the device in an emergency vehicle,
bring the vehicle to a halt before using in semiautomatic
mode.
•Place the patient on a firm surface before performing
CPR.
•The device is protected against interference from radio
frequency emissions typical of two-way radios and
cellular phones (digital and analog) used in emergency
service/public safety activities. Users should assess the
device’s performance in their typical environment of use
for the possibility of radio frequency interference from
high-power sources. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
may be observed as shifts in monitor baseline, trace
compression, display brightness changes or transient
spikes on the display.
•MSeries units equipped with the Bluetooth® option
include an RF transmitter which transmits with 0dBm
power in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
•Do not operate the unit without a battery. Keep a fully
charged spare battery pack with the device at all times.
•Change the selected defibrillator energy
As a safety feature, the device will automatically disarm if
left charged for more than 60 seconds (15 seconds for
AED versions).
Note: The terms “ZOLL Multi-Function Electrode (MFE)
Pads” and “MFE Pads” will be used
interchangeably throughout this manual.
•Regular use of partially charged battery packs without
fully recharging between uses will result in permanently
reduced capacity and early battery pack failure.
•Test batteries regularly. Batteries that do not pass ZOLL’s
capacity test could unexpectedly shutdown without
warning.
•Replace the battery with a fully charged battery
immediately after the “LOW BATTERY” or “R EPLACE
BATTERY” message.
•Emergency defibrillation should be attempted only by
appropriately trained, skilled personnel who are familiar
with equipment operation. Training appropriateness, such
as Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) or Basic Life
Support (BLS) certification, should be determined by the
prescribing physician.
•Synchronized cardioversion should only be attempted by
skilled personnel trained in Advanced Cardiac Life
Support (ACLS) and familiar with equipment operation.
The precise cardiac arrhythmia must be determined
before attempting defibrillation.
•Prior to attempting synchronized cardioversion, ensure
that the ECG signal quality is good and that sync marks
are displayed above each QRS complex.
•These operating instructions describe the functions and
proper operation of the MSeries products. They are not
intended as a substitute for a formal training course.
Operators should obtain formal training from an
appropriate authority prior to using the device for patient
care.
•Do not disassemble the unit. A shock hazard exists. Refer
all problems to authorized service personnel.
•Follow all recommended maintenance instructions. If a
problem occurs, obtain service immediately. Do not use
the device until it has been inspected by the appropriate
personnel.
•Do not use the unit’s ECG out signal as a sync pulse for
another defibrillator or cardioverter.
1-8
WARNINGS (Continued)
•The ECG out signal is delayed by up to 25 ms. This delay
must be considered when the ECG out signal is used as an
input to other devices requiring R-wave synchronization.
•The MSeries device may not perform to specifications
when stored at the upper or lower extreme limits of
storage temperature and immediately put into use.
•Avoid using the MSeries adjacent to, or stacked on other
equipment. If unavoidable, verify that the MSeries
operates normally in this configuration before clinical
use.
•The MSeries should be installed and put into service
according to the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
information in Appendix A of this manual.
•The use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than
those specified in this manual and related MSeries
option manual inserts may result in increased emissions
or decreased immunity of the MSeries.
Operator Safety
•Do not use MSeries products in the presence of oxygen-
rich atmospheres, flammable anesthetics or other
flammable agents (such as gasoline). Using the
instrument near the site of a gasoline spill may cause an
explosion.
•Do not use the instrument near or within puddles of
water. Electrical safety of the device may be
compromised when wet.
•Do not discharge with paddles or MFE Pads shorted
together or in open air.
•Warn all persons in attendance of the patient to STAND
CLEAR prior to defibrillator discharge.
•Do not touch the bed, patient, or any equipment
connected to the patient during defibrillation. A severe
shock can result. Do not allow exposed portions of the
patient's body to come in contact with metal objects, such
as a bed frame, as unwanted pathways for defibrillation
current may result.
•A vo id contact with conductive fluids during defibrillation
as unwanted current pathways may result.
•For defibrillation using paddles, utilize only high
conductivity electrolyte gel specified by the manufacturer
for such use.
•To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not allow electrolyte
gel to accumulate on hands or paddle handles.
•To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not touch the gelled
area of the MFE Pads while pacing.
•When defibrillating with paddles use your thumbs to
operate the SHOCK buttons in order to avoid inadvertent
operator shock. No portion of the hand should be near the
paddle plates.
•Only use thumbs to depress the paddle SHOCK buttons.
Failure to do so could result in the inadvertent depression
of the energy select buttons, causing the defibrillator to
disarm itself.
General Information
•Do not discharge the defibrillator except as indicated in
the instructions. Do not discharge the defibrillator if the
MFE Pads are not properly attached to the patient.
•Always check that the equipment functions properly and
is in proper condition before use.
•Disconnect all electro-medical equipment that is not
defibrillation protected from the patient prior to
defibrillation.
•The use of ACCESSORY equipment not complying with
the equivalent safety requirements of this equipment may
lead to a reduced level of safety of the resulting system.
Consideration relating to the choice shall include:
•
Use of the accessory in the PATIENT VICINITY
• Evidence that the safety certification of the
ACCESSORY has been performed in accordance with
the appropriate IEC (EN) 60601-1 and/or
IEC (EN) 60601-1-1 harmonized national standards.
Patient Safety
•Neonatal and pediatric defibrillation energy levels should
be set based on site-specific clinical protocols.
•Do not use the unit’s AED function on patients under
8 years of age. *
•The device detects ECG electrical signals only. It will not
detect a pulse (i.e. effective circulatory perfusion).
Always verify pulse and heart rate by physical
assessment of the patient. Never assume that a non-zero
heart rate display means that the patient has a pulse.
•Implanted pacemakers may cause the heart rate meter to
count the pacemaker rate during incidents of cardiac
arrest or other arrhythmias. Pacemaker patients should be
carefully observed. Check the patient's pulse; do not rely
solely on heart rate meters. Dedicated pacemaker
detection circuitry may not detect all implanted
pacemaker spikes. Patient history and physical exam are
important in determining the presence of an implanted
pacemaker.
•Use only high quality ECG electrodes. ECG electrodes
are for rhythm acquisition only. Do not attempt to
defibrillate or pace through ECG electrodes.
•The ECG rhythm analysis function does not warn the
operator of patient asystole, as it is not a shockable
rhythm.
•Do not use ECG electrodes or MFE Pads if the gel is
dried, separated, torn, or split from the foil; patient burns
may result from using such electrodes. Poor adherence
and/or air under the MFE Pads can lead to the possibility
of arcing and skin burns.
•Excessive body hair or wet, sweaty skin can inhibit good
coupling (contact), which can lead to the possibility of
arcing and skin burns. Clip excess hair and dry
surrounding moisture from the area where the electrode is
to be attached.
•MFE Pads should be replaced after 8 hours of continuous
pacing (2 hours for Radiolucent Stat-padz) to ensure
maximum patient benefit).

M SERIES OPERATOR’S GUIDE
WARNINGS (Continued)
•To avoid electrosurgery burns at monitoring sites, ensure
proper connection of the electrosurgery return circuit so
that the return paths cannot be made through monitoring
electrodes or probes.
•Prolonged pacing (in excess of 30 minutes), particularly
in neonates or adults with severely restricted blood flow,
may cause burns. Periodic inspection of the underlying
skin is recommended.

CAUTIONS
•Do not install the battery into the de vice when storage may exceed 90 days. Battery damage may occur.
•The “LOW BATTERY” message display-to-shutdown interval may be less than one minute when older
batteries become depleted.
•The M Series ships standard with a PD 4410 battery, but can optionally use the XLbattery if properly
configured. Incorrectly configuring the unit for XL battery operation when the PD 4410 is installed will
substantially reduce the number of defibrillation shocks that can be delivered between the onset of the
“LOW BATTERY” warning message and M Series shutdown. (See the MSeries Configuration Guide,
P/N 9650-0201-01, for complete details on properly configuring the selected battery type.)
•Do not sterilize the device.
•Do not sterilize the CPRD-to-MFC connector.
•Do not immerse any part of the device in water.
•Do not use alcohol or ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.) on the device.
•Avoid using abrasives (e.g. paper towels) on the display window.
•Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the equipment is connected to an equivalent receptacle
marked “HOSPIT AL ONLY” or “HOSPIT AL GR ADE”. If the grounding integrity o f the line cord or AC
receptacle is in doubt, operate on battery only.
•Use only ECG cables (namely, ones with internal current-limiting resistors) specified or supplied by
ZOLL Medical Corporation to protect the M Series from damage during defibrillation, for accurate ECG
information, and for protection against noise and other interference.
•Check leakage levels prio r to use . Le aka g e current may
be excessive if more than one monitor or other piece of
equipment is connected to the patient.
•To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not allow the
conductive parts of electrodes, sensors, or patient cables
to contact other conductive parts or earth ground.
Restarting the Device
Certain events require the MSeries products to be restarted after they shut off or become inoperative.
One example is when the battery runs down and the unit shuts off. The selector switch should always be turned to the
OFF position before removing the battery. The selector switch may then be turne d to th e de si re d operating mode to
resume operation after insertion of a new battery. This sequence is needed to restart the device, and can also be used
to clear some “X FAULT XX” messages, if immediate use of the device is required.
Note that some settings (for example, alarm settings, lead selection, ECG size) may need to be restored from their
default values when operation is resumed.

Summary Report
Summary Report allows you to store and later retrieve important ECG and device event information. The unit’s internal
memory automatically records defibrillation and cardioversion segments, PACER mode (Pacer version only), heart
rate alarm and ECG segments upon activation of the stripchart recorder . Associated event information including device
control settings, patient ECG, time and date are recorded as well.
Note: Dia gnostic bandwidth recordings are not included in Summary Report.
Six events will trigger Summary Report to automatically record information:
•VF Alarm triggered
•Defibrillator Shock
•Selecting PACER mode (Pacer version only)
•Heart Rate Alarm triggered
•Turning Strip Recorder on (or on and then off in rapid sequence)
•Initiating analysis of the ECG
Summary Report records each event in chronological order and will store up to 65 defibrillation or 140 recorderactivated ECG events. All event data will remain in memory and be accessible until data is manually erased. A new
patient record is automatically created if the unit has been turned off for a user configurable time period of 5 minutes to
36 hours. If all memory has been used for a particular patient, a “REPORT FULL” message will appear on the display
and no further data is recorded.
Summary Report Formats
Summary Report prints an overview of all the events currently stored in memory including total number of defibrillation
shocks delivered, total pacing time (cumulative), time and date the device was turned on (or if you have just manually
erased summary reports, then start time and date of the next report), time of last event, as well as space for patient
name, date and comments. All segments have vertical dashed cut lines every 8.5 inches to facilitate easy mounting on
8.5" x 11" paper. On the last event recorded “SUMMARY COMPLETE” will be printed at the bottom left of the recorder
