Warning
Shock Hazard – Always switch off the device
before exchanging the defibrillation electrodes
and internal spoons.
Spoon-shaped electrodes are used for internal
defibrillation. Their contact surface must match
the dimensions of the heart. The spoons must make
full contact with the heart. There is a choice of 3
different spoon sizes. You can use either two
spoon electrodes or one spoon electrode and one
external counter electrode for defibrillation
(Figure 4-10, chapter 20 "Order Information").
Sterilize internal electrodes before each use
(chapter 18 "Cleaning, Maintenance").

Screw the counter nut 2 (Figure 4-11) onto the

•
Screw the contact paddle 1 into the handle as
far as it will go, then bring it into the appropri-
ate position.
•
Now fix the contact paddle by screwing the
counter nut 2 tight against the handle 3.
