Monitoring Rhythm

WARNING

Monitoring Rhythm

When the HeartStart XLT is not analyzing, defibrillating, or paused, Rhythm

Monitoring alerts you to potentially shockable rhythms (provided Rhythm Monitoring is set to the default configuration, 2Q). The message 0RQLWRULQJ￿ 5K\WKP appears on the display to let you know this feature is active and

remains on the display for the duration of the monitoring.

PAUSE ANALYZE

The recommended configuration setting for Rhythm Monitoring is On. If Rhythm Monitoring is off, you are not alerted when a patient’s rhythm changes from non- shockable to shockable (as in refibrillation or an initially nonshockable rhythm that converts to a shockable rhythm).
