6 ECG Monitor Mode (DDU-2400/2450 only)
At the discretion of emergency care personnel, the DDU-2400 and DDU-2450 AED can also be used with an optional
ECG Monitoring Adapter (DAC-2020/2021) to provide a non-diagnostic ECG display of the patient’s heart rhythm
for attended patient monitoring. The system is intended for use on a conscious or breathing patient, regardless of
age. While connected to the ECG Monitoring Adapter, the DDU-2400/2450 AED’s shock capability is disabled, but it
continues to evaluate the patient’s ECG. There are no known contraindications to use of the ECG Monitoring Adapter.
Note: The AED does not have to be turned off before changing from defibrillation pads to the ECG Monitoring Adapter
or vice versa. To deliver a shock to the patient, disconnect the ECG Monitoring Adapter and attach the defibrillation pads.
6.1 Entering ECG Monitor Mode
Remove the defibrillation pads and plug in the optional ECG Monitoring Adapter. The AED will automatically switch
to ECG Monitor Mode with ECG view and onscreen text prompts will provide instruction. (NOTE: Voice prompts
are disabled while in ECG Monitor Mode.) If the pads are not applied, the display will show a dashed ECG and
prompt the user to apply the pads. When the pads are applied, the display shows the patient’s ECG and heart rate.
Note: The ECG Monitoring Adapter uses the same connector socket in the AED used by the defibrillation pads.
