13 After the tone sounds, indicating full charge, press and hold SHOCK while observing the
monitor screen.
14 Confirm the defibrillator discharges on the next sense QRS complex.
15 Confirm the defibrillator returns to asynchronous mode (sense markers are no longer
displayed and sync LED is off).
16 Confirm that the printer annotates the time, date, sync
ON, sync sense markers prior to
energy delivered, energy selected, no sense markers after
SHOCK 1, and sync OFF on the
ECG strip.
17 Connect defibrillator to AC power and power off.
Note: The defibrillator may be configured to remain in synchronous mode after discharge.
Therapy Cable Pacing Check
Equipment needed:
• LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor
• QUIK-COMBO therapy cable
•Patient ECG cable
• QUIK-COMBO 3- or 12-lead patient simulator
• Fully charged batteries
Procedure:
1 Press
ON.
2 Connect the QUIK-COMBO therapy cable to the QUIK-COMBO simulator.
3 Turn on the simulator and select
BRADY.
4 Connect the ECG cable to the defibrillator and the simulator.
5 Select
LEAD II.
6 Press
PACER.
7 Confirm that sense markers appear on each QRS complex. If sense markers do not appear,
or appear elsewhere on the ECG, press the selector on waveform Channel 1 and adjust ECG
size on the overlay.
8 Confirm that the Rate overlay appears.
9 Press
CURRENT and increase the current to 80 mA.
10 Observe the screen for captured complexes. Confirm the pacer LED flashes with each
delivered pacing pulse.
11 Disconnect the QUIK-COMBO therapy cable from the simulator. Confirm that the pacemaker
stops pacing, the
CONNECT ELECTRODES message appears, and an audible alarm sounds.
12 Reconnect the QUIK-COMBO therapy cable to the simulator. Confirm that the audible alarm
ceases, the
PACING STOPPED message displays, and that the current is 0 mA.
13 Increase current to 80 mA.
14 Press
CHARGE. Confirm the pacer LED turns off and the heart rate and available energy
appear on the screen.
WARNING!
Shock hazard.
During defibrillation checks, the discharged energy passes through the cable connectors.
Securely attach cable connectors to the simulator.
