Safety information
10
WARNING: the conductive parts of the electrodes and connectors associated
with the applied parts, including the neutral electrode, must not come into
contact with other conductive parts, including the ground wire.
WARNING: avoid connecting the patient to several equipments at the same
time, because the limits of current leakage may be exceeded.
WARNING: In general, the parts of the EQUIPMENT and ACCESSORIES of
the Apolus defibrillator intended to come into contact with biological tissues,
cells or fluids are tested and analyzed according to the directives and
principles of ISO 10993-1, which deals exclusively with the biocompatibility
test of the applied parts.
WARNING: When removing the equipment from its package, carefully
verify if there is any abnormality or visible damage in the device or its
accessories, caused by impact or mishandling during transportation. In case
of irregularities, please contact Instramed.
WARNING: disposable accessories and any other components must be
disposed according to the hospital waste disposal norms.
Adverse effects
Superficial burns may occur on the patient’s skin in the area in contact with the
electrodes. To minimize the effect of the disposable paddles, apply them directly
after removal from the protection envelope and attach them firmly to the patient’s
skin.
The skin must be dry, or electric current leakage may occur, increasing the burn’s
area and reducing the efficiency of the treatment.
