Operational Precautions
Before using the unit, ensure that an introduction regarding the unit functions and the
safety precautions has been provided by a product representative.
The guidelines for patient electrode placement are provided as an overview only. They are
not a substitute for medical expertise.

When this is not possible an isolation transformer must be installed.
It must be ensured that neither the patient nor the electrodes (including the neutral
electrode) come into contact with other persons or conducting objects (even if these are
earthed).
This unit is CF classified and defibrillation protected when the original
patient cable is used. However, as a safety precaution when possible,
remove electrodes before defibrillation.
Do not touch the unit casing during defibrillation.
If the patient cable should become defective after defibrillation, lead-off is displayed and
an acoustic alarm given.
Do not operate the unit if the earth connection is suspect or if the mains lead is dam-
aged or suspected of being damaged.
