Resuscitation System Model 100
with Defibrillator Interface
3.5 Periodic Electrocardiogram (ECG) Monitoring
and/or Defibrillation
When the AutoPulse is used in conjunction with defibrillators or with other therapeutic devices that
monitor an ECG signal, interruption of the compression cycles is required to avoid ECG motion artifact
associated with mechanical chest compressions. To stop compressions, press the orange Stop/Cancel
button. To restart the AutoPulse, follow the procedures in Section 3.2, “Starting Chest Compressions”.
3.9 Defibrillator Interface
Note: Follow all Warnings and Cautions for the AutoPulse and ZOLL Defibrillators. For more information, please refer to the AutoPulse User Guide and the appropriate ZOLL Operator’s Guide.
To improve cable management, connectors on the AutoPulse may be used as a pass-through connector
only when used in conjunction with the following ZOLL Defibrillators and Electrodes which have been
tested with the AutoPulse.
Compatible ZOLL Defibrillators
M Series® Biphasic
R Series™
E Series®
Compatible ZOLL Electrodes
stat•padzII® Electrodes
CPR-D•padz™ Electrodes
CPR-stat•padz® Electrodes
When connections are complete, the ECG signal will travel from the Electrodes, passing through the
AutoPulse Platform and continue onto the Defibrillator. Similarly, a defibrillation shock can be sent from
the Defibrillator, passing through the AutoPulse Platform, and continuing onto the Electrodes. To use
this function, both the Electrodes and the Defibrillator must be connected to the AutoPulse.

3.9.1 Making the Connections
The Connector Site is located at the top of the AutoPulse next to the Battery bay (see Figure 3-23 below).
Figure 3-23 AutoPulse Connector Site
3.9.1.1 Connecting the Electrodes to the AutoPulse
First, connect the Electrodes to the AutoPulse by plugging them into the Connector Site on the AutoPulse
Platform as shown in Figure 3-24 below. The Electrodes Connector should be firmly seated into the
Connector Site.

3.9.1.2 Connecting the Defibrillator to the AutoPulse
Then, connect the Defibrillator to the AutoPulse as shown in Figure 3-25 below. The Defibrillator Cable
should be firmly seated into the Connector Site.

3.10 ZOLL Interface
When certain E-Series Defibrillators are connected to the AutoPulse, “APLS” may be shown as an icon
on the upper right-hand corner of the E-Series display. In this case, the E-Series may deliver a
debrillation shock without stopping AutoPulse chest compressions. The AutoPulse that has this
capability will have a “ZOLL INTERFACE” label above the Connector Site.
•
Once defibrillation is indicated, resume chest compressions by restarting the AutoPulse.
•
Select the appropriate energy setting and charge the Defibrillator.
•
Once the Defibrillator is charged, press and hold the shock button until the treatment is delivered
to the patient.
Warning: Shock delivery may be delayed for up to 800ms to allow the defibrillator to discharge
during the relaxation time of the AutoPulse compression cycle. Do not touch the patient until after
the shock has been delivered.
If the “APLS” icon is not on the E Series display, then the connection will be as described in Section 3.9.
To learn more, consult the E-Series Operator’s Guide, P/N 9650-1210-01.

4.2 Cleaning the AutoPulse
Follow the cleaning instructions listed in the AutoPulse User Guide, using the following recommended cleaning agents:
• 70% Isopropyl Alcohol
• Chlorine Bleach Solution (30ml/l water)
• Super Sani-Cloth®
Note: Do not use corrosive cleaning agents on the AutoPulse or Connector Site. Do not attempt
to sterilize or autoclave the AutoPulse.
After cleaning, gently rinse the Connector Site with water and allow to completely dry prior to
being placed back in service.

5.4 Troubleshooting Defibrillator Connections
For troubleshooting these connections, follow the prompts that appear on the Defibrillator’s
screen. For further assistance, please refer to the AutoPulse User Guide and the appropriate
ZOLL Operator’s Guide.
In the event that a connection issue cannot be resolved, unplug the Defibrillation Cable and
the Electrodes from the AutoPulse and connect them directly together as shown.
5.4.1 M-Series and E-Series
The MFC and the Electrodes can be connected directly as shown in figure 5-7 below.
