6. Place defibrillator paddles firmly on the patient’s chest with the STERNUM paddle near the

upper sternum and slightly toward the patient’s right shoulder, and the APEX paddle over the

cardiac apex.

7. Instruct all personnel to stand away from the patient and the bed before proceeding.

8. Press the paddles firmly against the chest wall (about 25 pounds of pressure per paddle) and

discharge by pressing BOTH red paddle discharge buttons simultaneously.

9. Observe the patient and check Prism monitor to determine results. If repeat defibrillation is

necessary, readjust the energy level as prescribed by ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support)

protocol, and repeat the above steps.

Disarming the Defibrillator

When an unwanted charge is present or suspected, press the DISARM key on the defib/pacer

front panel to discharge the unit internally. To disarm internal paddles, press the INTNL

PADDLE DISCHG key on the defibrillator front panel.

DO NOT discharge defibrillator paddles into open air or short them together.

“Hands-Off” Defibrillation

Defibrillation can also be accomplished with MDE’s “hands-off” defib/pace adapter cable and

junction box (MDE part #E2700-66) and disposable adhesive electrodes (refer to Section “Using

Defibrillator and Pacer Paddles and Electrodes” for proper selection and application).

To Defibrillate Using “Hands-Off” Procedure:

1. Plug locking connector on defib/pace disposable adhesive electrodes into the mating

connector of “hands-off” adapter cable. Ensure that the connectors are locked into place.

2. Follow the numbered sequence on the front panel of the defib/pacer, starting with Number

“1”—with the Prism powered ON, press the POWER ON key on the defib/pacer. The green

indicator confirms ON status.
