SECTION 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

NOTE: Your M Series may or may not contain all the features listed in this manual, depending on your particular configuration.

Product Description

The ZOLL® M Series® products combine a defibrillator, ECG display, advanced monitoring capabilities, 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. When operating in the manual configuration the device operates as a conventional defibrillator where the device’s charging and discharging is fully controlled by the operator. In advisory and semi-automatic modes, some features of the device are automated 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 M Series assists caregivers during cardiopulminary resuscitation (CPR) by evaluating the rate and depth of chest compressions, and providing feedback to the rescuer. Real CPR Help™ requires the use of CPR-D•padz and the 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 M Series 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 M Series products are intended for use in manual mode by personnel certified by appropriate federal, state or local authority to provide advanced life support care.

M SERIES OPERATOR’S GUIDE

Defibrillator Function

The M Series products contain a DC defibrillator capable of delivering up to 360 joules of energy. 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 M Series 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 M Series 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 M Series 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.

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.

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 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 during 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 M Series 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).

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 M Series 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 M Series 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, b- blockers, 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 anterior 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 milliamps (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 configured not to print during these events.

Paddle — Electrode Options

The M Series products will defibrillate, cardiovert and monitor ECG using either defibrillation paddles or ZOLL Multi-Function Electrode (MFE) Pads.

The pacer version of the M Series 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 M Series products use easily replaced sealed, leadacid 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 device 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 battery is installed in the 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 M Series unit does not function as expected, see the AC Charger Troubleshooting section on page B-7.

1-6

General Information

External Battery Charger

External battery charging and capacity evaluation is

performed with the ZOLL Base PowerCharger4x4. Up to four battery packs can be charged simultaneously and testing is automatic. See the appropriate ZOLL battery charger Operator's Guide and Battery Management Program for more detailed information on the specifications, use and management of ZOLL battery packs.

Diagnostics

A computer contained within the unit performs selfdiagnostic tests whenever the product is initially turned on and periodically during operation. During operation, a “Function* FAULT XX” message will be displayed if a fault is detected. If this occurs, turn the unit off and then on and recheck operation. Contact authorized service personnel if the message continues to be displayed.

* Function: may include Recorder, Pace, Defib, etc.

M SERIES OPERATOR’S GUIDE

Safety Considerations

The M Series products are high energy devices capable of delivering up to 360 joules. To completely deactivate the device, you must turn the SELECTOR SWITCH to the OFF position.

In order to disarm a charged defibrillator:

•Turn the SELECTOR SWITCH to MONITOR, OFF or

PACER (pacer equipped versions only) or

•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.

•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.

•M Series units equipped with the Bluetooth® option include an RF transmitter which transmits with 0dBm power in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.

•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 “REPLACE 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 M Series 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.

•Do not operate the unit without a battery. Keep a fully charged spare battery pack with the device at all times.

General Information

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 M Series 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 M Series adjacent to, or stacked on other equipment. If unavoidable, verify that the M Series operates normally in this configuration before clinical use.

•The M Series 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 M Series option manual inserts may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the M Series.

Operator Safety

•Do not use M Series products in the presence of oxygenrich 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.

•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.

•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).

•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.

*AHA Guidelines 2000 for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, I-64, 2000.

CAUTIONS

•Do not install the battery into the device 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 XL battery 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 M Series 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 “HOSPITAL ONLY” or “HOSPITAL GRADE”. If the grounding integrity of 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.

Restarting the Device

Certain events require the M Series 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 turned to the desired 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.

ECG Analysis Algorithm Accuracy

Sensitivity, specificity, false positive rate and positive predictivity are expressions of the accuracy of an ECG analysis system when compared with clinicians or experts. The specifics of computations are detailed below. The accompanying data details the accuracy of the algorithm as tested by independent investigators.

The Algorithm:

•Divides the ECG rhythm into three 3-second segments.

•Filters and measures noise, artifact, and baseline wander.

•Measures baseline content ('waviness' at the correct frequenciesfrequency domain analysis) of signal.

•Measures QRS rate, width, and variability.

•Measures amplitude and temporal regularity ('auto-correlation') of peaks and troughs.

•Determines if two-out of-three, 3 second segments are shockable then displays “SHOCK ADVISED” message.

The Algorithm sequence takes approximately 9 seconds.

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: Diagnostic 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 strip.

An incident log is an abbreviated list of all major events recorded in the summary report. You can print out an incident log that includes the time of occurrence of the following events:

•M Series unit powered on.

•Defibrillation advisory messages (for example, CHECK PATIENT and SHOCK ADVISED).

•Defibrillation shocks (including energy level).

•Pacer mode activated.

•Manual mode started (AED only).

•Alarms triggered.

•Code markers.

•12 Lead analysis initiated.

•12 Lead data transmission.

•Recorder turned on.

•NIBP measurements activated.

In addition, the incident log lists the following:

•Report start time (time when summary report memory was erased).

•Last event time (time of last event in memory).

•Total number of shocks.

•Total pacer time.

•System serial number.

•Device identification number.
