Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Under certain conditions, the Zoll M Series defibrillator multifunction cable (MFC) connector can be inserted upside down into the defibrillator's external paddles, preventing shock delivery and potentially delaying defibrillation. Performing the manufacturer-recommended routine shift checks, including checking for damaged cables and connectors, will aid in avoiding this problem during clinical use. Clinicians should be aware that, though it is not a commonly suspected problem, upside-down MFC connector insertion is among the potential reasons for a failure-to-shock condition. |
