3.4 Functional description
The MEDUCORE Easy is compact, lightweight and ergo-
nomic. The visual and acoustic user guide makes operation
of the device largely self-explanatory.
After a brief instruction session, therefore, even persons
with only minimal prior medical knowledge will be in a po-
sition to perform defibrillation in the context of resuscita-
tion.
Visual and acoustic user guide
The visual and acoustic user guide consists of display fields
and voice prompts.
After the lid of the device has been opened, the
MEDUCORE Easy guides the user step-by-step through re-
suscitation with detailed voice prompts. A green and a red
display field indicate during which phases of the resuscita-
tion procedure the patient may or may not be touched
(traffic light principle).
Metronome function
When the metronome function is operating, an acoustic
metronome signal is output at 100 beats per minute dur-
ing the CPR phase. Perform chest compressions at the
same rhythm as the signal tones. After 30 signal tones you
will hear a voice prompt say "Give 2 breaths now".You
now have a few seconds in which to give two breaths be-
fore the voice prompt says "Give 30 chest compressions
now" and 30 signal tones are heard again. This sequence
continues until the CPR phase is ended and the red display
field ("Stand clear of the Patient") lights up.
If the information key is pressed during the CPR phase, the
voice prompt will be output. The metronome then contin-
ues to run in the background without audible signal
tones.
