2.0 A 2-minute protocol pause for
CPR automatically starts aft er
voice instruction is given when
a shock series is completed.
After the protocol pause, the
defibrillator returns to rhythm
analysis.
If the user presses the
i-button for optional CPR
coaching, the FRx provides
coaching for 5 cycles of CPR,
starting and ending with
compressions, when the CPR
Coaching parameters are also
set to their default values. The
number of CPR cycles varies
for other protocol pause
timer and CPR Coaching
parameter settings.
NSA pause type • Standard NSA pause: FRx
does not perform rhythm
analysis during the NSA
pause.
• SMART NSA pause: FRx
conducts background
monitoring during the
SMART NSA pause. If a
potentially shockable
rhythm is detected, FRx
terminates the SMART
NSA pause and resumes
rhythm analysis.
SMART NSA
pause
During a SMART NSA pause,
the defibrillator conducts
background monitoring. If a
potentially shockable rhythm
is detected in a motionless
patient, the defibrillator
terminates the SMART NSA
pause and resumes rhythm
analysis.
NOTE: If the FRx detects CPR in
progress or if the responder has
pressed the i-button for CPR
Coaching, the SMART NSA
pause will be converted to a
standard NSA pause. During the
standard NSA pause, the
defibrillator does not perform
rhythm analysis.
