6.3 Monitoring The Patient

After the ECG monitoring electrodes are connected, the defibrillator displays a non-diagnostic ECG of the patient’s
heart rhythm and heart rate in a Lead II configuration. While in ECG Monitor Mode, the defibrillator’s shock capability
is disabled; however, the defibrillator continues to evaluate the patient’s ECG for a potentially shockable rhythm.
