• Do NOT spill fluids over any component inside the simulator torso. This could damage the
system and may also present a possible hazard for the operator.
• When using a manual defibrillator, the ECG can be monitored via the defibrillator paddles.
Coarse ventricular fibrillation and high-rate ventricular tachycardia cardiac rhythms are
automatically recognized as “shockable” rhythms.
• With each defibrillation, Ares automatically records the amount of energy discharged and
the time defibrillation was performed. The simulated patient response to defibrillation is
determined by the scenario script or instructor intervention. Thus, cardioversion is not
automatically determined by the physiological models.
• The minimum electrical charge recognized by the circuitry within the simulator is 20
joules.
Using the SymDefib
The SymDefib box connects with a real defibrillator monitor and allows for use of real electrical
therapy for defibrillation, cardioversion, and pacing.
To defibrillate using SymDefib:
1. Connect the SymDefib cable to the defibrillator using the cables provided. The SymDefib
system supports Phillips defibrillators without a cable adapter. If using Zoll or Physio-
Control defibrillators, you must use the appropriate adapter (optional purchase) between
the cable on the SymDefib and the defibrillator.
2. If using a plug (instead of the battery), plug the power supply into the back port of the
SymDefib box.
3. Connect the electrode pad cable to the right port on the front side of the SymDefib box.
4. With the manikin started, turn on the SymDefib and verify the status light flashes green to
indicate it is on.
5. While the SymDefib is operating, attach the electrode pads to the magnetic connectors on
the manikin. When connected, the SymDefib begins to display an ECG signal on the
monitor and the status light turns a solid green.
Note:
The SymDefib was paired to the simulator in the factory and should automatically connect
wirelessly.
