New R Series Models There are two new R Series models: the ALS and the Plus Models. Both models contain new features of Real CPR Help and See-Thru CPR. Let’s begin learning about the R Series ALS model. Click the Next button to continue. R Series ALS Model R Series Plus Model 6

R Series ALS Model The R Series ALS model is similar to our present M Series in appearance and function, however, it has the new features of Real CPR Help and See-Thru CPR. 7

R Series ALS Model This machine will be utilized in higher acuity areas such as ICU, PACU, ED and areas that have internal response to codes with ALS trained staff. 8

R Series Plus Model The R Series Plus model looks and performs like an AED. It also contains the features of Real CPR Help and See-Thru CPR. 9

R Series Plus Model This model will be utilized in areas where the first responders are BLS trained. It can quickly be transformed into a full R Series ALS functioning model by changing it to manual mode. 10

New R Series Features Real CPR Help See-Thru CPR As we discussed previously, the new R Series models have Real CPR Help and See-Thru CPR. Let’s explore these further. Click on the Real CPR Help picture above. 11

Real CPR Help gives visual and audio cues to assist compression quality. Click Next to continue. 12

Real CPR Help There are four mechanisms of real time CPR feedback: CPR Index, Rate Prompt, Depth Prompt, and Idle Time Display. Let’s learn more about the CPR Index. Click Next to continue. 13

CPR Index The CPR Index is a visual representation of the quality of compressions being performed. It provides feedback after 8 good quality compressions in the form of a filling hexagon. It takes 20 -25 good quality compressions before the index fully fills. 14

Rate Prompt The Rate Prompt is a visual and audible prompt that lets the compressor know that compressions are less than 90 bpm. 15

Rate Prompt When the Rate Prompt is active, the CPR Index stops filling, the Rate Prompt displays, and the metronome beeps at the correct rate. 16

Rate Prompts will automatically stop when the compression rate returns to 90 bpm. There is one exception: the metronome beep prompt is continuous despite compression rate with the R Series Plus model while in the AED mode. 17

Depth Prompt The Depth Prompt is a visual and audible prompt to let the compressor know that compressions are less than 2 inches in depth. 18

Depth Prompt “Push harder” When the Depth Prompt is active, the CPR Index stops filling, the Depth Prompt displays, and the audio prompt states “Push harder. ” 19

Depth Prompts will automatically stop when the compression depth returns to 2 inches. 20

Idle Time Display The Idle Time Display is a visual prompt that displays after compressions have been interrupted for more than 10 seconds. The time displays in minutes and seconds (mm: ss). 21

Idle Time Display The display will disappear when compressions are fully resumed. Let’s learn about the See-Thru CPR feature. Click Next to continue. 22

See-Thru CPR is available on the R Series ALS Model and the R Series Plus Model (but only in the manual mode). It displays a second tracing (FIL) that filters out the CPR artifact from the ECG to allow users to see a close approximation of a patient’s underlying rhythm during CPR compressions, reducing interruptions in CPR. 23

See-Thru CPR does not replace human assessment; it is meant to be a tool in the process. See-Thru CPR does not work in the advisory/analyze mode. 24

One. Step Complete ECG leads are internal in the pad. It is not necessary to put leads on to perform pacing or urgent synchronized cardioversion UNLESS you are using anterior/anterior placement. 38

One. Step Complete The One. Step Compete Pads sense to charge at intervals of 120, 150, and 200 Joules consecutively for defibrillation. If a different Joule setting is desired, adjust it by using the energy select arrow key for initial and subsequent shocks. 39

Opening the Pads Step 1: Open the electrode package by grasping the blue ring and white tab marked OPEN HERE. Step 2: Pull away from each other so that the electrodes are displayed as in the picture. Note: Do not use a scissors to open the pads! 40

Applying the Pads Anterior/Posterior placement is recommended. Place the back pad on first. Then place the front pad with the sensor on the sternum between the nipples. 41

Applying the Pads If using anterior/anterior placement, rotate the apex electrode 180 degrees. With this placement, the ECG display may be slightly different and should not be used for diagnostic purposes. Use the ECG cable for pacing with this electrode placement. 42

One. Step Pediatric Pads Use with pediatric patients 0 -8 years and/or <25 kg. These pads presently do not allow for Real CPR Help and See. Thru CPR features in the new R Series models. 43

One. Step Pediatric Pads ECG leads are NOT internal in the pad. Switch to Pedi Padz to perform pacing or urgent synchronized cardioversion and add an ECG cable. 44

One. Step Pediatric Pads The One. Step Pediatric Pads sense to charge at intervals of 50, 70, and 85 Joules consecutively for defibrillation. If a different Joule setting is needed based on the patient’s weight and AHA guidelines, 2 J per kilo, adjust it by using the energy select arrow key for initial and subsequent shocks. 45

Applying Pediatric Pads Apply pads as shown on package placing the back pad on first. 46

One. Step Pad Connections Both the One. Step Complete Pad and the One. Step Pediatric Pad attach the same way to the multifunction cable on the R Series Models. 47
