Using Luna
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. Your SymDefib was paired to the simulator in the factory and should
automatically connect wirelessly.
An AED can use this signal to determine if a shock is necessary. You can deliver a shock to the
manikin. The electrical current from the shock is absorbed by the cable and SymDefib box. It does
not travel to the manikin or along the training pads. The SymDefib box measures and reports the
energy delivered via the software.
When demonstrating proper pad placement, learners should attach the SymDefib pads in the
appropriate locations on the manikin: one pad on dorsal connection and one on ventral connection.

Commercial Defibrillation
Luna is designed to safely absorb the energy discharged from commerical defibrillators. However,
use of a defibrillator for training purposes represents an operational hazard equivalent to use of a
defibrillator on a real patient. Consequently, all safety precautions for use of defibrillators must be
followed as if the manikin were a patient. Consult the defibrillator’s User Manual for further
information.
