i) The series of images at the top demonstrates
the CellAED® SNAP… PEEL…STICK® actions
for a patient weighing greater than 10 kg
(22 lbs). The series of images at the bottom
demonstrates the CellAED® SNAP…PEEL…
STICK® actions for an infant weighing less
than 10 kg (22 lbs).
ii) Once the CellAED® has been snapped apart
into two parts along the perforated Label Mark
for snapping
(Figure 5 (a), page 34)
, the audio
(voice) prompts are activated to guide the
user.
iii) The audio (voice) prompts instruct the user
to apply the electrode pads for a patient
weighing greater than 10 kg (22 lbs) or for an
infant weighing less than 10 kg (22 lbs)
(Figure
5 (b) and (c), page 34)
. Peeling the lining from
the bottom of the electrode pads enables the
pads to be applied to the patient’s skin.
iv) If the patient weighs less than 10 kg (22 lbs),
press the infant button
(Figure 5 (d), page
34)
when prompted. Press the infant button
a second time to confirm and enable Infant
Mode when prompted.
v) If a shockable rhythm is detected, the
CellAED® will start charging the electrodes for
defibrillation. The audio (voice) prompts notify
the user not to touch the patient and to stand
clear of the patient.
vi) The CellAED® uses audio (voice) prompts
to advise the user when to perform chest
compression CPR in between shocks, emits a
metronome to guide the chest compression
rate, and advises the user when to discontinue
chest compression CPR.
Section 8, pages
44 - 49,
describes the audio (voice) prompt
instructions and provides a step-by-step
reference to using the CellAED®.
vii) The CellAED® defibrillation and audio (voice)
prompt functions can be deactivated by
pressing the gel sides of the electrode pads
together for
at least five seconds
(refer to
Figures 16A and 16B, pages 46-49
).
WARNING:
Do not handle or transport the patient
while the CellAED® is attached to the patient
and analysing the heart rhythm, as this can cause
incorrect or delayed diagnosis. Keep the patient as
still as possible while the CellAED® is attached.
WARNING:
The CellAED® delivers up to 85 Joules of
electrical energy with every shock delivery.
Mishandling may cause serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to operate the CellAED®
unless thoroughly familiar with this manual and
the functions of all controls, indicators and of the
electrode pads.
WARNING:
Keep the CellAED® away from pets and
children.
WARNING:
Do not insert any object into the CellAED®.
WARNING:
Do not place the electrode pads
together when in use, as this may deactivate the
CellAED® functions including audio (voice) prompts,
heart rhythm detection and classification, capacitor
charge and discharge, and render the CellAED®
unusable.
