04 Cautions
• Do not use for any purpose other than to obtain ECG and
sound recordings.
• The Coala should be applied only to intact, clean skin (e.g.,
not over open wounds, lesions, infected, or in
fl
amed areas).
• Not suitable for direct cardiac application (intact skin only).
• Not recommend for use on individuals with a cardiac
pacemaker, ICDs or other implanted electronic devices.
• Not to be used with a pacemaker. If the Coala is used with a
pacemaker, pacing pulses may be detected and counted by
the heart rate display but may not be displayed in the ECG
graphs.
• The Coala Heart Monitor has not been tested for use on
infants less than 12 months old. Due to chest size and
electrode placement Coala Life does not recommend use on
humans weighing less than 10 kg.
• A successful chest recording may not be possible if the
device is applied to a chest which has too much body hair,
body fat or very dry skin. Try to apply moisture to the skin
and shave off any body hair to obtain successful recordings.
• Do not use a device that shows signs of mechanical damage
or loose parts.
