Indeed not, but by its very nature a defib kit makes the decision for you by first detecting the 'ventrical fibulation' (sp ?) of an 'attacked' heart. If it can't scan it, it won't shock no matter what the problem is.
The way I teach people to use them, with a training kit and a dummy is literally to show someone how to turn the machine on ... It then 'talks' you through the rest of the process with little or no experience required.
They are 'that' easy to use ...
