Product Description
The ZOLL® X Series™ unit is an easy-to-use portable defibrilla tor that combin es defibrillation
and external pacing with the following monitoring capabilities: ECG, CO-Oximeter, Noninvasive Blood Pressure, IBP, CO2, Temperature, and Respiration. It has been designed for all
resuscitation situations and its rugged , compact, lightweight design makes it ideal fo r transport
situations. It is powered by auxiliary power and an easily replaced battery pack that is quickly
recharged in the device when it is connected to auxiliary power. In addition, the unit’s battery
may be recharged and tested using a ZOLL SurePower™ Battery Charger Station.
Note:The X Series has defibrillation and pacing functionality, but some of the monitoring
functions are optional features. See the complete list of options in Fig. 1-1. Optional
features are specified as “optional” within this guid e.
The product is designed for use in both the hospital and the rugged EMS environment. The
device is a versatile automated external defibrillator with manual capabilities and may be
configured to operate in Manual, Advisory or Semiautomatic modes. It can be configured to
start up in Semiautomatic (AED) mode or manual mode.
When operating in manual configuration, the device operates as a conventional defibrillator
where the device’ s char ging and disc harging i s fully controlled by the operator. In Advisory and
AED 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 AED mode to Manual mode for ACLS use by pressing the appropriate key on the front
panel.

Manual Defibrillation
Use of the X Series in the manual mode for external and internal 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.
The unit can also be used for synchronized cardioversion of certain atrial or ventricular
arrhythmias. Qualified medical personnel must decide when synchronized cardioversion is
appropriate.
The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adul t.
Semiautomatic Operation (AED)
X 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.
Use of the X Series 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 functi on are provided in the section “ECG Analysis
Algorithm Accuracy” on page A-33.
When the patient is less than 8 years of age or weighs less that 55 lbs. (25 Kg), you must use
ZOLL pediatric defibrillation electrodes. Do not delay therapy to determine patient’s exact age
or weight.
1-8www.zoll.com 9650-001355-01 Rev. B
ECG Monitoring
The X Series is intended for use to monitor and/or record 3-, 5-, or 12-lead ECG waveform and
heart rate, and to alarm when heart rate is above or below limits set by the operator. The patient
population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult, with and without heart dysfunction.
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. Voice and visual prompts encourage a minimum compression depth
of at least 1.5 (3.8 cm) or 2.0 inches (5.0 cm), depending on the configuration, for adult
patients. The CPR monitoring function is not intended for use on patients under 8 years of age.
External Transcutaneous Pacing
This product can be used for temporary external cardiac pacing in conscious or unconscious
patients as an alternative to endocardial stimulation.
The purposes of pacing include:
X Series Indications for Use
• 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 can 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 might provide an alternative to transvenous therapy that avoids the risks
of displacement, infection, hemorrhage, embolization, perforation, phlebitis, and
mechanical or electrical stimulation of ventricular ta chycardia or fibrillation associ ated with
endocardial pacing.
• Suppression of tachycardia.
Increased heart rates in response to external pacing often suppress ventricular ectopic
activity and might prevent tachycardia.
• Pediatric pacing.
Pacing can be performed on pediatric patients weighing 33 lbs. (15 kg.) or less using ZOLL
pediatric hands-free therapy electrode pads. Prolonged pacing (in excess of 30 minutes),
particularly in neonates, could cause burns. Periodic inspection of underlying skin is
recommended.
9650-001355-01 Rev. BX Series Operator’s Guide1-9
CHAPTER 1GENERAL INFORMATION
Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring
The X Series is intended for use to make non-invasive measurements of arterial pressure and
heart rate, and to alarm if either parameter is outside of the limits set by the user. Measurements
are made using an inflatable cuff on the patient's arm or leg. The patient population will range
from newborn (neonate) to adult.
Temperature Monitoring
The X Series is intended for use to make continuous temperature measurements of rectal,
esophageal, or surface temperatures, and to alarm if the temperature is outside of the limits set
by the user. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
SpO2 Monitoring
The X Series pulse CO-oximeter, with Masimo Rainbow® SET® technology and the Rainbow
series of sensors, is intended for use for continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional
oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate, carboxyhemoglobin saturation
(SpCO), and/or methemoglobin saturation (SpMet). The pulse CO-oximeter and accessories
are indicated for use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients during both no motion and
motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused, in hospitals, hospital-type
facilities, or in mobile environments.
Respiration Monitoring
The X Series is intended for use to continuously monitor respiration ra te and to alarm if the rate
falls outside of the range set by the operator. Because the measurement method actually
measures respiratory effort, apnea episodes with continued respiratory effort (such as
obstructive apnea) may not be detected. It is not intended to be used as an apnea monitor. The
patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
CO2 Monitoring
The X Series is intended for use to make cont inuo us nonin vasive measurem ent an d moni tori ng
of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired and inspired breath and breath rate. The patient
population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
Invasive Pressure Monitoring
The X Series is intended for use to display and make continuous invasive pressure
measurements from any compatible pressure transducer. The primary intended uses are arterial
blood pressure, central venous pressure and intracranial pressure monitoring. Any contraindications of the particular transducer selected by the user shall apply. The patient population
will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
1-10www.zoll.com 9650-001355-01 Rev. B
12-Lead Analysis
The 12-lead ECG Analysis is useful in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with acute
myocardial infarction (AMI). 12-lead ECG Analysis is also useful in the interpretation and
documentation of other transient cardiac arrhythmias that may occur. When used in the
prehospital setting, the 12-lead analysis results can be of assistance in diagnosis and treatment
decisions once the patient has arrived in the hospital emergency department.
X Series Product Functions
Defibrillator Function
The X Series contains a direct current (dc) defibrillator capabl e of delivering up to 200 jo ules. It
may be used in synchronized mode to perform synchronized cardioversion using the patient’s
R-wave as a timing reference. The unit uses paddles or disposable, pregelled electrodes for
defibrillation.
Defibrillator Output Energy
X Series Product Functions
X Series defibrillators can deliver biphasic energy from 1 joule to 200 joules. The energy
delivered through the chest wall, however, is determined by the patient’s transthoracic
impedance. An adequate amount of e lectrolyte gel mu st be applied t o the paddles and a force of
10 to 12 kilograms (22 to 26.4 pounds) must be applied to each paddle in order to minimize this
impedance. If hands-free therapy electrodes are used, make sure that they are properly applied.
(Refer to the instructions on the electrode package).
External Pacemaker
X Series defibrillators include a transcutaneous pacemaker consisting of a pulse generator and
ECG-sensing circuitry. Noninvasive 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.
The output current of the pacemaker is continuously variable from 10 to 140 mA (the output
current is 0 mA when paused). The rate is continuously variable from 30 to 180 pulses per
minute (ppm), by increments of 5 ppm (10 bpm when greater than 100 ppm).
The pacing output pulse is delivered to the heart via ZOLL hands-free defibrillation/pacing
electrodes placed on the patient’s back and the precordium.
Proper operation of the device, together with correct electrode placeme nt, is critical to
obtaining optimal results. Every operator must be thoroughly familiar with these operating
instructions.
9650-001355-01 Rev. BX Series Operator’s Guide1-11
CHAPTER 1GENERAL INFORMATION
ECG Monitoring
The patient’s ECG is monitored by connecting the patient to the unit via a 3-, 5-, or 12-lead
patient cable or hands-free therapy electrodes. The ECG waveform is presented on the display
along with the following information:
• averaged heart rate, derived by measuring R to R intervals
• lead selection - I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 (with ECG cable),
The X Series units will defibrillate, cardiovert, and monitor ECG using hands-free therapy
electrodes. The X Series unit will pace using ZOLL hands-free therapy electrodes.
Energy Select, Charge and Shock controls are located on the paddles and front panel. When
using hands-free therapy electrodes, you must use the controls on the front panel of the unit. To
switch between paddles and hands-free therapy electrodes, remove the multifunction cable
(MFC) from the apex paddle and connect the hands-free therapy electrodes to the cable.
Batteries
You should always check the expiration date on the electrode packaging. Do not use expired
electrodes, which might result in false patient impedance readings and affect the level of
delivered energy, or cause burns.
This symbol on the electrode package is accompanied by the expiration date.
For stat-padz® II, this symbol does not appear; the expiration date appears on the
lower right corner of the label, below the lot number.
Note:ZOLL electrodes contain no hazardous materials and may be disposed of in general
trash unless contaminated with pathogens. Use appropriate precautions when
disposing of contaminated electrodes.
X Series models use an easily replaced rechargeable li thium-ion battery pack (the Su r ePower II
Battery Pack). A new, fully charged battery pack typically delivers more than 6 hours of ECG
monitoring. Use of other functions (such as the defibrillator, printer, or pacemaker) reduc es this
time.
When a LOW BATTERY icon appears on the display and the unit emits three beeps in
conjunction with the displayed battery icon, the battery must be replaced and recharged.
You can charge the battery by either of the following methods:

Warnings
General
Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this defibrillator to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Safety Considerations
Only appropriately trained, skilled personnel who are familiar with equipment operation should
perform emergency defibrillation. The prescribing physician should determine what training,
such as Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) or Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, is
appropriate.
Only skilled personnel trained in Advanced C ardiac Life Support (ACLS) and who are familiar
with equipment operation should perform synchronized cardioversion. The precise cardiac
arrhythmia must be determined before attempting defi bril lat io n.
These operating instructions describe the functions and proper operation of the X Series
products. They are not a substitute for a formal patient care training course. Operators should
obtain formal training from an appropriate authority before using this defibrillator for patient
care.
Proper operation of the unit and correct electrode placement is critical to obtaining optimal
results. Operators must be thoroughly familiar with proper device operation.
The use of external pacing/defibrillation electrodes, accessories, 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 with pacing/defibrillation
electrodes or adapter devices from other sources. Defibrillator failures attributable to the use of
pacing/defibrillation electrodes or adapters not manufactured by ZOLL might void ZOLL’s
warranty.
At receipt of shipment, check pacing/defibrillation electrodes to ensure compatibility.
Allow ample slack in cables to make sure that cables do not tug at electrodes.
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 defibrillator until it has been inspected by appropriate personnel.
9650-001355-01 Rev. BX Series Operator’s Guide1-15
CHAPTER 1GENERAL INFORMATION
The X Series unit might not perform to specifications when stored at the upper or lower
extreme limits of storage temperature and then immediately put into use. The X Series unit
should not be stored or used outside of the environmental limits p rovided in Appendix A of this
manual.
A void using the X Series adjacent to, or stacked on, other equipment. If unavoidable, verify that
the unit operates normally in this configuration before clinical use.
The X Series unit should be installed and put in to service a ccordi ng to the EM C informati on in
Appendix A of this manual.
Do not use internal paddles while the X Series unit’s auxiliary power source is connected to an
aircraft AC power operating at a frequency of 400 Hz.
The use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specified in this manual and
related X Series option manual inserts may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity
of the X Series.
Perform functional test of internal paddles prior to use.
Do not use or place the unit in service if the Ready For Use indicator (at the upper right of the
front panel) displays a red circle with a line through it.
Carefully route patient cabl es to avoid tri pping over the m, or inadverte ntly pulli ng the unit onto
the patient.
Always inspect the unit for damage if it has been dropped.
Only authorized personnel should use the Supervisor menus.
If uncertain about the accuracy of any measurement, first check the patient’s vital signs by
alternate means, and then make sure the monitor is functioning correctly.
ECG Monitoring
Implanted pacemakers might cause the heart rate meter to count the pac emak er rate during
incidents of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmias. Dedicated pacemaker detection circuitry may
not detect all implanted pacemaker spikes. Check the patient's pulse; do not rely solely on heart
rate meters. Patient history and physical examination are important factors in determining the
presence of an implanted pacemaker. Pacemaker patients should be carefully observed. See
“Pacemaker Pulse Rejection:” on page A-15 of this manual for disclosure of the pacemaker
pulse rejection capability of this instrument.
Use only ECG electrodes that meet the AAMI standard for electrode performance
(AAMI EC-12). Use of electrodes not meeting this AAMI standard could cause the ECG trace
recovery after defibrillation to be significantly delayed.
Prior to attempting synchronized cardioversion, ensure the ECG signal quality is good and that
sync markers are displayed above each QRS complex.
Do not place electrodes directly over an implanted pacemaker.
The X Series unit detects ECG electrical signals only. It does not detect a pulse (effective
circulatory perfusion). Always verify pulse and heart rate by physical assessment of the patient.
Never assume that the display of a nonzero heart rate means that the pat ient has a pulse.
Excessive artifact can result due to improper skin preparation of the electrode site s. Follow skin
preparation instructions in Chapter 6: “Monitoring ECG.”
1-16www.zoll.com 9650-001355-01 Rev. B
Do not operate the X Series in conjunction with electroc autery or diathermy equipment. Such
equipment, as well as equipment that emits strong radio frequency signals, can cau se electrical
interference and distort the ECG signal displayed by the monitor, thereby preventing accurate
rhythm analysis.
Shock Hazard: Use of accessories, other than those specified in the operating instructions, may
adversely affect patient leakage currents.
Certain line-isolation monitors may cause interference on the ECG display and may inhibit
heart rate alarms.
Monitoring ECG through the paddles may result in inaccurate heart rate display due to artifact.
Defibrillation
The ZOLL X Series can deliver 200 joules o f electrical energy. If this electrical energy is not
discharged properly, as described in the this manual, the electrical energy could cause persona l
injury or death to the operator or bystander.
To avoid possible damage to the X Series unit, turn off pacing before defibrillating the patient
with a second defibrillator.
After a synchronized cardioversion, the SYNC mode may be cleared after each shock or
disarm. The user may have to reselect (press) the SYNC button after each synchronized
cardioversion shock performed on a patient. In Defib/Pacer Default settings in the Supervisor
Setup menu, the X Series can be configured to remain in the SYNC mode after each
synchronized cardioversion.
Warnings
Synchronized cardioversion can be performed in the paddle monitoring mode. However, it is
possible that artifact can be produced by the moving paddles, which could cause the
defibrillator to trigger on the artifact. It is recommended that monitoring in leads I, II or III be
used during synchronized cardioversion. Paddle monitoring should not be used for elective
cardioversions procedures.
To avoid stress to the defibrillator or the tester, never attempt to repeatedly charge and
discharge the defibrillator in rapid succession. If a need for repetitive testing arises, allow a
waiting period of at least 2 minutes after every third discharge.
In the SYNC mode, the defibrillator does not discharge without a command signal (R-w ave
detection) from the ECG monitor indicate d by a SYNC marker on the trace and a flashing
SYNC indicator.
If conductive gel forms a continuous path between the defibrillator electrodes, delivered energy
may be dramatically reduced to zero. In this case, reposition the electrodes to eliminate the
shunting path before attempting additional shocks.
Improper defibrillation technique can cause skin burns. To limit possible skin burns, use only
ZOLL defibrillation gel on paddles, ensure the gel covers the entire paddle surface and press
firmly against patient’s chest.
If a new energy level is selected after the CHARGE button is pushed and while the defibrillator
is charging or charged, the defibrillator will disarm. The CHARGE button will need to be
pressed again to charge to the new energy level.
Prior to defibrillation, disconnect from the patient any medical electronic device that is not
labeled “defibrillation protected.”
9650-001355-01 Rev. BX Series Operator’s Guide1-17
CHAPTER 1GENERAL INFORMATION
Before charging the defibrillator, verify that the energy selected on the display is the desired
output.
Defibrillation takes priority over external pacing. Should the defibrillator be charged during the
administration of external pacing, the pacer turns off and the defibrillator charges to the
selected energy.
Pacing
Ventricular fibrillation does not respond to pacing and requires immediate defibrillation.
Therefore, the patient’s dysrhythmia must be determined immediately, so that you can employ
appropriate therapy . If t he patient is in ventricula r fibrillation and defibrilla tion is successful but
cardiac standstill (asystole) ensues, you should use the pacemaker.
Ventricular or supraventricular tachycardias can be interrupted with pacing, but in an
emergency or during circulatory collapse, synchronized cardioversion is faster and more
certain.
Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) can occur following prolonged cardiac arrest or in other
disease states with myocardial depression. Pacing might then produce ECG responses wi th out
effective mechanical contractions, making other effective treatment necessary.
Pacing can evoke undesirable repetitive resp onses, 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 can cause discomfort of varying intensity, which occasionally
can be severe and preclude its continued use in conscious patients.
Similarly, unavoidable skeletal muscle contraction might be troublesome in very sick patients
and might limit continuous use to a few hours. Erythema or hyperemia of the skin under the
hands-free therapy electrodes often occurs; this effect is usually enhanced along the perimeter
of the electrode. This reddening should lessen substantially withi n 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 underlying 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.
The pacing rate determination can be adversely affecte d by arti fact. If the patient’s pulse and
the heart rate display are sig nificantly different, external pacing pulses may not be delivered
when required.
Artifact and ECG noise can make R-wave detection unreliable, affecting the HR meter and the
demand mode pacing rate. Always observe the patient closely during pacing operations.
Consider using asynchronous pacing mode if a reliable ECG trace is unob tai nab le .
Transcutaneous pacing should not be used to treat V FIB (ventricular fibrillation). In cases of
V FIB, immediate defibrillation is advised.
1-18www.zoll.com 9650-001355-01 Rev. B
Warnings
Transcutaneous pacing may cause discomfort ranging from mild to severe, depending on the
patient’s tolerance level, muscle contractions and electrode placement. In certain cases,
discomfort may be decreased by slightly relocating the pacing pads.
It is important to monitor the patient closely to verify that both mechanical and electrical
capture are occurring. Electrical capture can be verified by observing the presence of a large
ectopic beat after the pacing pulse is delivered. The size and morphology of the beat are
dependent on the patient. In some instances the be at may appe ar as a rel ati vel y normal looking
QRS pulse. Mechanical capture can be verified by checking for signs of increased blood flow
i.e., reddening of the skin, palpable pulses, increased blood pressure, etc. Continuously observe
the patient during pacing administration , to insure capture retention. Do not leave the patient
unattended when administering external pacing therapy.
Warning!This device can only be used for external pacing of patients and cannot be used for
internal pacing. Do not connect internal pacing lead wires to the X Series defibrillator.
CPR
The CPR monitoring function is not intended for use on patients under 8 years of age.
Place the patient on a firm surface before performing CPR.
The patient must be motionless during CPR for accurate CPR measurements.

CHAPTER 1GENERAL INFORMATION
In some instances, such as obstructed airway, the patient's breathing attempts may not produce
any air exchange. These breathing attempts can still produce chest size changes, creating
impedance changes, which can be detected by the respiration detector. It is best to use the pulse
oximeter whenever monitoring respirations, to accurately depict the patient's respiratory
condition.
Noninvasive Blood Pressure
Only a physician can interpret pressure measurements.
Blood pressure measurement results may be affected by the position of the patient, his or her
physiological condition and other factors.
Substitution of a component different from that supplied by ZOLL (e.g., cuff, hoses, etc.) may
result in measurement error. Use only ZOLL-approved cuffs and hoses. To avoid the risk of
intravenous line misconnection and possible introduction of air into a patient’s blood, do not
modify the NIBP system or hoses with Luer Lock adapters.
IBP
Do not use a blood pressure cuff on the limb being used for IV infusion or for SpO
Accurate pressure readings may not be achieved on a person experiencing arrhythmias,
shaking, convulsions or seizures. Medication may also affect pressure readings. The correct
size cuff is essential for accurate blood pressure readings.
Blood pressure hoses must be free of obstructions and crimps.
If the patient’s cuff is not at heart level, an error in measurement may result.
When monitoring blood pressure at frequent intervals, observe the cuffed extremity of the
patient for signs of impeded blood flow.
Do not monitor one patient’s NIBP while monitoring another patient’s ECG.
Blood pressure measurement may be inaccurate if tak en while acc elera ting or decelera ting in a
moving vehicle.
If an NIBP measurement result is questionable or “motion” indication is displayed, repeat the
measurement. If the repeated measurement result is still questionable, use another blood
pressure measurement method.
Do not use the NIBP on cardiopulmonary bypass patients.
To ensure compatibility and electrical safety, accessory pressure sensors should comply with
ANSI/AAMI BP-22 and IEC 60601-2-34 for IBP or ANSI/AAMI NS28 for ICP.
monitoring.
2
Follow instructions supplied with any accessory pressure sensor regarding calibration and
removal of trapped air.
Avoid touching metal parts of any transducer while it is in contact with the patient.
Do not reuse any components that are labeled for single use only.
Transducers should be rated to withstand an accidental drop of at least a meter onto a hard
surface.
Transducers that are subject to immersion in liquids should be rated as watertight.

2
The large magnetic fields generated by an MRI device can attract ferromagnetic equipment
with an extremely violent force, which could cause serious personal injury or death to persons
between the equipment and the MRI device.
Battery
Although the device can operate with auxiliary power alone, ZOLL strongly recommends that
you operate the unit with a battery installed at all times. Operating the unit with a battery
provides a backup in case of ac power shortage, and results in faster charge time. The battery
can be automatically recharged while it is installed in the unit. Keep a fully charged spare
battery pack with the defibrillator at all times.
Test battery packs regularly. A battery that does not pass the ZOLL charger’s capacity test
might cause the X Series unit to shut down unexpectedly.
If the Low Battery indication occurs at any time during operation, immediately replace the
battery pack.
9650-001355-01 Rev. BX Series Operator’s Guide1-21
CHAPTER 1GENERAL INFORMATION
If the LOW BATTERY icon appears, plug the X Series unit into a power source or install a fully
charged battery pack. When the warning low battery shutdown prompt appears, immediately
replace the battery pack with a fully charged pack or plug the X Series unit i nto a power source,
as unit shut down due to a low battery condition is imminent.
If mistreated, a battery pack might explode. Do not disassemble a battery pack or dispose of it
in fire.
Operator Safety
The X Series can deliver 200 joules of electrical energy. If this electrical energy is not
discharged properly, as described in this manual, the electrical energy could cause personal
injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
Do not use the X Series in the presence of oxygen-rich atmospheres, flammable anesthetics, or
other flammable agents (such as gasoline). Usin g the unit in such envi ronments might cause an
explosion.
Do not use the unit near or within standing water. Electrica l safety might be c ompromised when
the defibrillator is wet.
Never discharge the unit with the defibrillation electrodes or paddles shorted together or in
open air.
Do not discharge the defibrillator except as indicated in the instructions. Discharge the
defibrillator only when defibrillation electrodes or paddles are properly applied to the patient.
To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not touch the gelled area of the hands-free therapy
electrodes during pacing or defibrillation.
T o 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 allow patient connectors to contact other conductive
parts, including earth.
For defibrillation using paddles, use only high-conductivi ty electrolyte gel specified for such
use by the manufacturer.
When using paddles for defibrillation, use your th umb s to operat e th e SHOCK buttons. Doing
so avoids inadvertent shock to the operator.
The use of accessory equipment that does not comply with the equivalent safety requirements
of the X Series defibrillator could reduce the level of safety of the combined system. When
choosing accessory equipment, consider the following:
• 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.
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.
Before discharging the defibrillator, warn everyone to STAND CLEAR of the patient.
1-22www.zoll.com 9650-001355-01 Rev. B
Do not touch the bed, patient, or any equipment connected to the patient during defibrillation.
A severe shock can result. To avoid hazardous pathways for the defibrillation current, do not
allow exposed portions of the patient's body to touch any metal objects, such as a bed frame.
T o avoid risk of electric al shock, do not allow printer to come into contact with other condu cive
parts, such as equipment connected to the USB port.
Patient Safety
Inappropriate defibrillation or cardioversion of a patient (for example, with no malignant
arrhythmia) may precipitate ventricular fibrillation, asystole, o r other dangerous arrhythmias.
Defibrillation without proper application of electrodes or paddle electrolyte gel might be
ineffective and cause burns, particularly when repeated shocks are necessary. Erythema or
hyperemia of the skin under the paddles, or electrodes often occurs; this effect is usually
enhanced along the perimeter of the paddles or electrodes. This reddening should diminish
substantially within 72 hours.
This equipment should be connected to only one patient at a time.
Neonatal and pediatric defibrillation energy level settings should be based on site-specific
clinical protocols.
Warnings
To ensure patient safety, do not place the monitor in any position that might cause it to fall on
the patient.
To ensure patient safety, connect the X Series only to equipment with circuits that are
electrically isolated.
Use only high-quality ECG electrodes. ECG electrodes are for rhythm acquisition only; you
cannot use ECG electrodes for defibrillation or pacing.
Do not use therapy or ECG electrodes 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 pockets under
therapy electrodes can cause arcing and skin burns.
Check the expiration date on the electrode packaging. Do not use electrodes after their
expiration date.
Excessive body hair or wet, diaphoretic skin can inhibit electrode coup lin g to th e skin. Clip
excess hair and dry any moisture from the area where an electrode is to be attached.
Therapy electrodes should be replaced periodically during continuous pacing. Consult
electrode directions for proper replacement instructions.
Prolonged pacing (more than 30 minutes), particularly in neonates or adu lt s with severely
restricted blood flow, may cause burns. Periodically inspect the skin under the electrodes.
Carefully route the patient cables away from the patient’s neck to reduce the possibility of
patient entanglement or strangulation.
T o avoid electrosurgery burns at monitoring sites, ensure proper connection of the
electrosurgery return circuit so that a return path cannot be made through monit oring electrodes
or probes.
9650-001355-01 Rev. BX Series Operator’s Guide1-23
CHAPTER 1GENERAL INFORMATION
During electrosurgery, observe the following guidelines to minimize electrosurgery unit (ESU)
interference and provide maximum operator and patient safety:
• Keep all patient monitoring cables away from earth ground, ESU knives, and ESU return
wires.
• Use electrosurgical grounding pads with the largest practical contact area.
Always ensure proper application of the electrosurgical return electrode to the patient.
Check electrical leakage levels before use. Leakage current might be excessive if more than one
monitor or other piece of equipment is connected to the patient.
Cautions
If the unit is to be stored longer than 90 days, remove the battery pack.
Do not sterilize the defibrillator, or its accessories unless the accessories are labelled as
sterilizable.
Do not immerse any part of the defibrillator in water.
Do not use the defibrillator if excessive condensation is visible on the device. Wipe only the
outside with a damp cloth.
Do not use ketones (such as acetone or MEK) on the defibrillator.
Avoid using abrasives (including paper towels) on the display window.
To achieve the specified level of protection against spilled or splashed liquids, thoroughly dry
all exposed surfaces of this device prior to operation or connections to auxiliary power.
If liquids enter the device connectors, remove all liquid from the connectors and al low the
device to dry thoroughly prior to use.
Grounding reliability can be achieved only when the equipment is connected to a receptacle
marked “HOSPITAL ONLY,” “HOSPITAL GRADE,” or equivale nt. If the groundin g inte grity
of the line cord or ac receptacle is questionable, operate the defibrillator using battery power
only.
Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or dimmer.
To protect the unit from damage during defibrillation, for accurate ECG information, and to
protect against noise and other interference, use only intern al current-limiting ECG cables
specified or supplied by ZOLL.
For continued safety and EMI performance, use only the line cord supplied by ZOLL.
Electrical installation of the room or the building in which the monitor is to be used must
comply with regulations specified by the country in which the equipment is to be used.
Dispose of battery packs in accordance with national, regional and local regulations. Battery
packs should be shipped to a reclamation facility for recovery of metal and plastic compounds
as the proper method of waste management.
Do not place the device where the controls can be changed by the patient.
1-24www.zoll.com 9650-001355-01 Rev. B
Restarting the Defibrillator
Certain events require the X Series products to be restarted after they shut off or become
inoperative (for example, when the battery runs down and the unit shuts off).
In such a case, always try to restore defibrillator operation as follows:
1. Press the power switch on the top of the unit to turn it off.
2. If necessary , replace a depleted battery with a fully charge d pack, or connect the de fibrillator
to auxiliary power.
3. Press the power switch on the top of the unit to turn it back on.
This sequence is necessary to restart the defibrillator and can also be used to clear some fault
messages when immediate use of the defibrillator is required.
If the X Series unit is powered off for less than 2 minutes, all patient monitoring parameter
settings will be retained. If the unit has been powered off for at least two minutes, it will be
considered a New Patient and all of the patient-specific parameters (alarm limits, defibrillator
energy, etc.) will be reset to their default values.

Monitoring Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the X Series unit’s monitoring functions. It describes the
types of vital sign monitoring that X Series provides, and the flexibility that the X Series unit
gives you in displaying a patient’s vital signs information.
X Series Monitoring Functions
The X Series unit provides an array of standard, a nd optional, mo nitoring functio ns, and allows
you to view the vital signs measurements that these functions provide in a variety of formats.
The X Series unit also allows you to set alarm limits for each monitoring function. Should a
patient’s vital signs measurements go outside of these limits, the X Se ri es issues an audible
alarm tone and displays visual alarm indications to alert you.
If the X Series unit is powered off for less than 2 minutes, all patient monitoring parameter
settings are retained. If the X Series unit is powered off for 2 minutes or longer, the unit
operates as if there is a New Patient and all patient-specific parameters (alarm limits,
defibrillator energy, etc.) are reset to their default values.
Chapter 3
The X Series unit can monitor the following patient vital signs:
• ECG
• Heart Rate
• Respiration Rate
• Temperature
• Invasive Pressures (IBP)
• Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
• Capnography (CO
• Pulse Oximetry (SpO

CHAPTER 3MONITORING OVERVIEW
ECG
An ECG waveform trace appears at the top of the display area. You can specify that the unit
display the waveform trace of any available ECG source, such as
and so on, in this area. You can configure the X Series unit to display up to four ECG waveform
traces. In addition to being able to specify the ECG source for each waveform trace, you can
adjust the display scale of those traces to make them easier to view.
Heart Rate
A Heart Rate meter gives the patient’s heart rate in Beats Per Minute (bpm). By default, the X
Series unit derives the heart rate from the patient’s ECG, but can be configured to use other
monitoring functions to derive the patient’s heart rate.
Respiration Rate
A Respiration Rate meter gives the patient’s respiration rate in Breaths Per Minute (br/min).
The X Series unit can be configured to derive the respiration rate from the patient’s ECG or
from the optional CO

monitoring function.
Temperature
The Temperature (Temp) meter can display temperature measurements from up to two
temperature probes. The X Series unit provides two separate temperature monitoring channels
and, if both are used, displays the monitored temperatures, in degrees F or C, one after the
other, followed by the difference between those temperatures.
Invasive Pressures (IBP)
The X Series unit provides three separate channels for monitoring arterial, venous, or
intracranial pressure using internal probes. The pressure measurements for each pressure
channel appear in a labeled (
P1, P2, P3) numeric display.
Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
The X Series unit provides patented Smartcuf motion-tolerant technology for NIBP monitoring.
NIBP monitoring measures the patient’s systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure through an
inflatable blood pressure cuff that the X Series unit inflates/deflates. NIBP measurements can
be taken automatically or on-demand by p ressing the NIBP butto n () on the front panel of the
X Series unit. The blood pressure measurements appear in a labeled (

Pulse Oximetry (SpO2)
Pulse Oximetry monitoring measures the oxygen saturation (SpO2) of arterial blood at a
peripheral site such as a finger or toe. If optional features SpCO and Sp Met are installe d, it also
monitors carboxyhemoglobin saturation (SpCO), and methemoglobin saturation (SpMet).

The X Series unit supports the detection and indication of patient alarms and technical alerts.
A patient alarm is any alarm condition that is caused by a monitored patient-related variable,
such as a measured vital sign that falls outside of a configured alarm limit. You can configure
patient alarm limits for each of the physiologic monitoring functions.
A technical alert is monitored equipment-related vari able that the X Series unit can detect, such
as a disconnected sensor, internal diagnostics failures, and so on. Technical alerts are always enabled and are not user-configurable.
Patient alarms are always classified as high-priority alarms. Technical alerts are classified as
medium or low priority alarms.
Alarm conditions from patient alarms and technical alerts are stored in the Event Log and
retained with normal power down or total loss of power.

Chapter 6
Monitoring ECG
This chapter describes how to use the X Series unit to monitor ECG.
X Series units can perform ECG monitoring through 3-, 5-, or 12-lead ECG patient cables,
Multi-Function Pads, or standard defibrillation paddles. The use of an ECG patient cable and
electrodes is required, however, to monitor ECG during pacing.
You can use a 3-lead, 5-lead, or 12-Lead wire configuration for ECG monitoring (see Running
H/F 1 for more information on 12-lead monitoring).
Warning!•Excessive body ha ir or wet, sweaty skin may interfere with electrode adhesion.
Remove the hair and/or moisture from the area where the electrode is to be attached.
•Use only electrodes that are well within the expi ration date ind icated on th e p ackage.
•Remove ECG electrodes from their sealed package immediately prior to use. Using
previously opened or out-of- date electrodes may degrade the ECG signal quality.
•Monitoring electrodes may become polarized during defibrillator discharge, causing
the ECG waveform to briefly go off screen. ZOLL Medical Corporation recommends
the use of high quality silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes to minimize this
effect; the circuitry in the instrument returns the trace to the monitor display within
a few seconds.
•To assure protection against the effects of defibrillator discharge, use only
ZOLL-approved accessories.
9650-001355-01 Rev. BX Series Operator’s Guide6-1
CHAPTER 6MONITORING ECG
•To avoid a shock hazard and interference from nearby electrical equipment, keep
electrodes and patient cables away from grounded metal and other electrical
equipment.
•To avoid electrosurgery burns at monitoring sites, ensure proper co nnection of the
electrosurgery return circuit so that the return paths cannot be made through
monitoring electrodes or probes.
•Check the operation and integrity of the X Series unit and ECG cable regularly by
performing the Daily Operational Verification Test.
•Implanted pacemakers may cause the heart rate meter to count the pacemaker rate
during incidents of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmias. Carefully observe
pacemaker patients. 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.
ECG Monitoring Setup
The proper application and placement of electrodes is essential for high quality ECG
monitoring. Good contact between the electrode and skin minimizes motion artifact and signal
interference.
The following procedure describes how to monitor a patient’s ECG using 3- and 5-Lead ECG
cables. For information on the application and use on MultiFunction Pads and External
Paddles, which you can also use to monitor ECG, see Chapter 14, Manual Defibrillation.
To monitor a patient’s ECG using 3- and 5-Lead ECG cables, perform the following steps:
1. Prepare the patient's skin for electrode application:
2. Apply the electrode pads to the patient.
3. Connect each lead of the ECG cable to the appropriate electrode.
4. Insert the patient cable plug into the ECG input connector on the X Series unit.
5. Select the ECG waveforms to be displayed on the waveform trace display screen.
6. Observe the patient‘s electrocardiogram on the display , and adjust size of the ECG wave form
trace, as necessary.
Preparing the Patient for Electrode Application
The proper application of electrodes is essential for high quality ECG moni toring. Good cont act
between the electrode and skin minimizes motion artifact and signal interference.
Before applying electrodes, prepare the patient’s skin, as necessary:
•Shave or clip excess hair at electrode site.
•Clean oily skin with an alcohol pad.
•Rub site briskly to dry.
6-2www.zoll.com 9650-001355-01 Rev. B
Applying Electrodes to the Patient
The following sections show where to place electrodes when using 3- and 5-Lead cables to
perform ECG monitoring. For 3-Lead ECG cables, apply electrodes as in Figure 4-1, 3-Lead
Electrode Placement. For 5-Lead ECG cables, apply electrodes as in Figure 4-2, 5-Lead
Electrode Placement.
Avoid placing electrodes over tendons and major muscle masses.
Make sure that the ECG electrodes are placed to allow defibrillation, if necessary.

•When using impedance pneumography, don’t use the X Series unit with another
respiration monitor on the same patient, because the respiration measurement
signals may interfere with one another.
•Impedance pneumography is not recommended for use on paced patients, because
pacemaker pulses may be falsely counted as breaths.
•Impedance pneumography is not recommended for use with high frequency
ventilation.
•Since impedance pneumography uses the same leads as the ECG channel, the
X Series unit determines which s i gn als are cardiovascular artifact and which signals
are the result of respiratory effort. If the breath rate is within five percent of the
heart rate, the monitor may ignore breaths and trigger a respiration alarm.

Respiration Rate Alarm Limits
Initially, the Resp AlarmSettings menu specifies that Resp alarms are enabled (ON) or
disabled (OFF), and displays the default Upper and Lower respiration rate alarm limits. The
upper and lower limits can be
ON or OFF (default is OFF).The following table lists the default
respiration rate alarm limits for adult, pediatric, and neonate patients, and gives the range in
which you can set these limits:
Patient TypeRespiration Rate Default Respiration Rate Range
AdultLower: 3 br/min
Upper: 50 br/min
PediatricLower: 38 br/min
Upper: 50 br/min
NeonateLower: 12 br/min
Upper: 80 br/min
Using the Resp Parameter Control Panel
To configure alarms through the Resp Parameter Control Panel, use the navigation keys to
highlight and select the Respiration Rate meter and display the
Lower: 0 to 145 br/min
Upper: 5 to 150 br/min

Resp Parameter Control Panel:
Figure 7-1 Respiration Parameter Control Panel
The Resp Parameter Control Panel allows you to set the following parameters:
• RR/BR Alarm -- enable/disable the Resp alarm and set high/low alarm limits.
• No Breath Alarm-- sets the duration of the No Breath alarm, or disables alarm by selecting
“Off”.
• Resp Monitoring -- enable/disable respiration monitori ng .
• Resp Lead -- selects the Resp lead, Lead I (RA-LA) or Lead II (RA-LL), from which the X
Series unit calculates the respiration rate. Resp Lead selection is independent of ECG Lead
selection.
• CO2/Resp Sweep Speed -- sets the respiratory sweep speed on the display.

Heart Rate Meter
Enabling/Disabling Resp Monitoring
Select the Resp Monitoring prompt to enable or disable Resp monitoring. When Resp
Monitoring is set to On (the default), the X Series unit displays the Respiration Rate Meter.
When set to off, X Series removes the Respiration Rate meter from the display.
Warning!When using impedance pneumography, the X Series unit automatically rejects
cardiovascular artifact (CVA). This function requires the accurate ECG R-wa ve
detection. Therefore, always select the ECG lead with the most prominent QRS complex
when using impedance pneumography to monitor respiration.
Heart Rate Meter
The Heart Rate meter displays the heart rate that it derives from the ECG monitoring function
(by default) or from a monitoring function that you specify. If the ECG (or user-specified
monitor function) measurements are not available, the Heart Rate meter derives the heart rate
from the following monitoring functions, if they are available, in this order: User-selected
default source, ECG, IBP channel 1, SpO
Rate meter is labeled
other source is used.
HR (as in the following example) if the source is ECG, and PR if any

Enabling/Disabling HR Alarms and Setting Alarm Limits
When enabled, the X Series unit sounds alarms whenever the patient’s heart rate is above or
below the specified heart rate alarm limits.
To enable (or disable) HR alarms and set Upper and Lower alarm limits, you can either do so
through the Alarms quick access key () or the HR/PR Parameter Control Panel.
To configure HR alarms through the Alarms quick access key:
1. Press .
