- Shock button flashes, audio tone sounds
Shock Delivery Vector
- Via adult defibrillation pads placed in the anterior-anterior (lead II) position or via pediatric attenuated defibrillation pads placed in the anterior-posterior position.
ECG Analysis System
Function
- Evaluates impedance of defibrillation pads for proper contact with patient skin, and evaluates the ECG rhythm and signal quality to determine if a shock is appropriate.
