patient handling
Performing CPR or otherwise handling or
moving the patient while the HeartStart is
analyzing heart rhythm can cause an
incorrect or delayed analysis. If the
HeartStart tells you a shock is advised while
you are handling or moving the patient,
stop the vehicle or CPR and keep the
patient as still as possible for at least 15
seconds. This will give the HeartStart time
to reconfirm the analysis before telling you
to press the Shock button.
cell phones
The HeartStart can work correctly when it
is fairly close to equipment like emergency
two-way radios and cell phones. Normally,
using a cell phone near the patient should
not cause a problem for the HeartStart.
However, it is best to keep such equipment
only as close as necessary to the patient and
the HeartStart.
pads
Do not allow the pads to contact other
electrodes or metal parts that are in
contact with the patient.
