7 - 8 Defibrillator/Monitor Operator’s Manual
7.6 Remote Synchronized Cardioversion
The equipment can be configured to receive an ECG source from a remote patient monitor (such as a bedside
patient monitor) to perform synchronized cardioversion. To do so, the remote patient monitor shall have a sync
out connector and shall be connected to the multifunctional connector with a synchronous cable.
To switch on remote synchronized cardioversion, set [Remote Sync] to [On] in the [Manual Defib Setup] menu
through the Configuration Main menu.
The remote synchronized cardioversion procedure is as follows:
1. Use a sync cable to connect the equipment with a bedside monitor through the multifunctional
connector.
2. Enter the Manual Defib mode.
3. Press the [Enter Sync] soft key.
4. Select [Remote] to access remote synchronized cardioversion. Then the message “Remote Sync” is
presented.
5. Confirm a square wave on the equipment blinks with each detected R wave on the remote monitor as
shown below, indicating a sync pulse is received.
6. Connect the therapy cable to the therapy port. Push until you hear it clicks into place.
7. Apply electrode pads or external paddles to the patient.
8. Follow steps 6 to 9 as described in 7.5.1Performing Synchronized Cardioversion .
• During remote synchronized cardioversion, the local equipment does not display the ECG
waveform. To view the patient’s ECG, check the remote monitor.
• When you use a remote monitor as the ECG source, a biomedical technician must verify that the
remote monitor and the equipment combination will deliver a synchronized shock within 60 ms of
the peak of the R-wave.
