CAUTION

Prior to using this defibrillator, disconnect from the patient all equipment that is not
defibrillator-protected.
NOTE

Impedance is the resistance between the defibrillator’s pads that the defibrillator must overcome to
deliver an effective discharge of energy. The degree of impedance differs from patient to patient and is
affected by several factors including the presence of chest hair, moisture, and lotions or powders on the
skin. If the “Impedance too high. Shock Removed” message appears, make sure that the patient’s skin has
been washed and dried and that any chest hair has been clipped. If the message persists, change the pads.
