charge control Controlled by Patient Analysis System for automated operation.
“charge complete”
indicator
Shock button flashes, audio tone sounds.
shock-to-shock cycle time <20 seconds, typical, including analysis.
patient care
pause-to-shock time
Quick Shock. 8 seconds, typical, from end of patient care pause to shock
delivery.
disarm (AED mode) Once charged, the defibrillator will disarm if:
• the patient’s heart rhythm changes to non-shockable rhythm,
• a shock is not delivered within 30 seconds after the OnSite has charged for
shock delivery,
• the On/Off button is pressed and held down for at least one (1) second to
turn off the OnSite,
• the adhesive pads are removed from the patient or the pads cartridge is
disconnected from the OnSite,
• the battery is removed or is completely depleted or
• the impedance between pads is out of range.

Via adhesive pads placed in the anterior-anterior (Lead II) position.
infant/child shock
