CARDIAC SCIENCE AEDs
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
19
CAUTION:
Possible Interference with Implanted Pacemaker
Therapy should not be delayed for patients with implanted pacemakers and a defibrillation attempt should be
made if the patient is unconscious and not breathing. The AED has pacemaker detection and rejection,
however, with some pacemakers the AED may not advise a defibrillation shock.

Placing Pads:
•
Do not place the pads directly over an implanted device.
•
Place the pad at least one inch from any implanted device.
CAUTION:
Moving the Patient During a Rescue
During a rescue attempt, excessive jostling or moving of the patient may cause AEDs to improperly analyze
the patient’s cardiac rhythm. Stop all motion or vibration before attempting a rescue.
CAUTION:
Systems Statement
Equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be certified to the respective IEC standards
(i.e. IEC 950 for data processing equipment and IEC 601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore, all
configurations shall comply with the system standard IEC 601-1-1. Anybody who connects additional
equipment to the signal input part or signal output part configures a medical system, and is therefore,
responsible that the system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC 601-1-1.
CAUTION:
Case Cleaning Solutions
When disinfecting the case, use a non-oxidizing disinfectant, such as ammonium salts or a glutaraldehyde
based cleaning solution, to avoid damage to the metal connectors.
