The DDU-2400 AED provides a Manual Mode to override the AED features of the defibrillator. Manual Mode provides
an ECG display of patient’s rhythm as well as operator-initiated charge, shock, and disarm functions. Manual Mode
should only be used by qualified medical personnel trained in advanced life support skills and ECG recognition who
want to deliver a shock independent of AED Mode.
WARNING
The DDU-2400 Manual Mode Charge feature is intended
for use only by authorized operators who have been
specifically trained in cardiac rhythm recognition and in
manual defibrillation therapy.
