Figure 2-17 Continuous Mode Ventilation Tone Menu
The “Set Cont Vent Tone” menu item allows you to select how many ventilation tones sound when in
Continuous Compression Mode. Selecting “1 Beep” (the factory pre-set) will allow for a single ventilation
tone to sound in order to cue rescuers to ventilate the patient. Selecting “3 Beeps” will allow for three
ventilation tones to sound as a countdown to cue the rescuer to ventilate the patient after the third
ventilation tone. Highlight the desired setting using the Move Up and Down arrow buttons, press the
Select Choice Button to select it (a check will appear beside the selected item- see figure 2-17), and then
press the gray Menu/Mode switch button under the word “back” to return to the main Administrative Menu.

Depending on the Mode setting in the Administrative Menu (refer to section Section
2.3,“Administrative Menu: User Pre-set Options,” on page 2-10), the AutoPulse will
perform 30:2 (factory pre-set), 15:2, or Continuous compressions. In 30:2 mode it
performs 30 compressions and then pauses for three seconds to permit the user to
ventilate the patient before automatically resuming compressions (refer to Figure 3-12
Ventilation Pause Display Panel Screen on Page 3-12). In 15:2 mode it performs 15
compressions and then pauses for three seconds to permit the user to ventilate the patient
before automatically resuming compressions (see Figure 3-12). In Continuous mode it
performs continuous compressions without stopping. If 30:2 on-the-fly mode switching
has been enabled (in the Mode setting within the Administrative Menu), then the
AutoPulse will perform in the mode (either 30:2 or Continuous) that was used last until
powered down; on power up 30:2 will be the initial selection. If 15:2 on-the-fly mode
switching has been enabled (in the Mode setting within the Administrative Menu), then
the AutoPulse will perform in the mode (either 15:2 or Continuous) that was used last
until powered down; on power up 15:2 will be the initial selection.
In 30:2 mode three “countdown” ventilation tones will sound prior to the ventilation
pause: one during each of the 28th, 29th, and 30th compressions. These tones are meant
to cue rescuers to be ready to ventilate the patient during the ventilation pause. In 15:2
mode three countdown ventilation tones will sound prior to the ventilation pause during
the 13th, 14th, and 15th compressions. In Continuous mode, ventilation tones (either
a single tone or three countdown ventilation tones; refer to Section 2.3 Administrative
Menu: user preset options) will sound 8 times per minute. The tones can be temporarily

disabled (and re-enabled) by pressing the Tone Mute Button (refer to Section 1.4.2.6,
“Tone Mute Button,” on page 1-7).
At the initiation of compressions, the counter at the right center of the display panel
screen will be set to 00:00 and will automatically begin recording the elapsed time
until the Stop/Cancel button is pressed. The format of the counter is minutes:seconds.
When the Stop/Cancel button is pressed, the counter will immediately reset to zero and
begin recording the elapsed “no-flow” time. The counter will reset to zero when chest
compressions are started again.
