CHAPTER 3 SEMIAUTOMATIC MODE
Start with CPR Option
Your AED Pro unit may be configured to start a rescue with a CPR period of 30 to 180 seconds
that begins after you power on the AED Pro unit. You can end this initial CPR period at any
time by pressing the Analyze softkey. When you press the Analyze softkey, the AED Pro unit
immediately begins analyzing the patient’s ECG rhythm if the electrode pads are attached
correctly. The Analyze softkey appears only during the initial CPR period and does not appear
during any subsequent CPR periods unless it is configured to do so and/or the subsequent CPR
intervals are set to Extended.
Messages in Semiautomatic Mode
During semiautomatic mode, the unit can issue the following voice prompts and text messages.
The unit issues each voice prompt only once, but the equivalent message remains on the screen
until you take action, time expires, or the device status changes.
