USING THE AED
The AED should not be used on someone who is responsive when
shaken or breathing normally.
Do not use the pads if the pad gel is dried or damaged.
Disconnect non-defibrillation protected electronic devices or equipment
from patient before defibrillation.
Never lift the AED by the pads cable or any other accessory. Such
accessories could detach, causing the AED to fall on the patient.
Prolonged or aggressive CPR to a patient with pads attached can damage
the pads. Replace the pads if they are damage during use or handling.
Attach the adhesive pad to the patient's chest first and attach the CPR
Feedback device onto the adhesive pad so that the CPR Feedback device
can be secured to the patient's chest.
If the CPR Feedback Module is used, perform CPR according to the voice
prompt from the AED.
Do not touch the patient and connector at the same time.
The AED is designed for the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). It should only be
used to treat someone who may be a victim of a SCA and is:
Unresponsive,
Non-breathing,
Pulseless, (health care provider only)
If the person is unresponsive but you are unsure that they have suffered from a SCA
begin CPR. When appropriate apply the AED and follow the voice prompts.
