Warnings and cautions
Caution: Possible Improper AED Performance
Using pads that are damaged or expired may result in improper AED
performance.
Caution: Serial Communication Cable
The AED will not function during a rescue when the serial
communication cable is connected to its serial port. When the serial
communication cable is connected to the AED during a rescue, the
prompt “Remove cable to continue rescue” will be heard until you
remove the serial communication cable from the AED.
Caution: Possible Radio Frequency (RF) Susceptibility
Radio-frequency (RF) interference from devices such as cellular
phones and two-way radios can cause improper AED operation. The
AED should be used at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from RF devices, as
stated in accordance with EN 61000-4 3:2002.
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.
When placing pads:
• Do not place the pads directly over an implanted device.
• Place the pad at least an 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.
