External Pacing - ZOLL M2 Operator's Manual

WARNING! To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not touch the gelled area of the hands-free therapy
electrodes while pacing.
Therapy electrodes should be replaced periodically. Consult electrode directions for
specific recommendations.
Prolonged pacing (in excess of 30 minutes), particularly in adolescent, child, and infant
patients or adults with severely restricted blood flow, may cause burns. Periodic
inspection of the underlying skin is recommended.
When pacing in demand mode, the pacer may be adversely affected by EMI, RFI, or
ESU induced artifact in the ECG signal. Move patient away from any potential sources
of interference.
If the unit has not been turned off for more than 30 seconds and less than 10 minutes
have passed since the pacing mode was last used, re-entering the pacer mode will cause
pacing to resume at the previously selected rate and output current after a few seconds.
If the previous pacer settings are not desired, immediately press the trim knob and set
the pacer output to 0 mA. This will stop pacing and provide the time needed to change
pacer settings to the desired values.
