Automated External Defibrillator
(AED) Operation
WARNING!
Use only pediatric electrodes to defibrillate patients under 8 years of age in AED mode,
and make sure the patient mode is set to pediatric. Use of adult electrodes or adult mode
with pediatric patients can result in the delivery of excessive energy doses.
This chapter describes the recommended method of operation in AED Mode. The Propaq MD
unit is configured to operate in compliance with the American Heart Association and European
Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Adult Basic Life Support and Use of Automated External
Defibrillators.

If your local protocol requires a different procedure, follow that protocol.
The AED Mode is Supervisor configurable, and when the unit is configured to start up in AED
Mode, it powers up in the Analysis/CPR Protocol, and guides you through a cardiac event by
performing ECG analysis, preparing the device for a shock (if needed), and leading you
through a CPR interval.
This chapter also describes how to switch the AED unit to Manual mode (see “Switching to
Manual Mode Operation” on page 14-10).
ZOLL hands-free therapy electrodes are a defibrillation-protected Type BF patient
connection.
