Figure 8. Positioning the Electrodes
If the electrodes are not connected, the device will play the following voice message.

"Connettere gli elettrodi. Inserire saldamente il connettore. (Connect the electrodes.
Firmly attach the connector.)"
Figure 9. TECNOHEART plus: Electrode disconnection icon
Notes: If the electrode connector is not connected at any step,the AED will switch to the
Electrode disconnection icon and the device will play a voice message saying
"Connettere gli elettrodi. Inserire saldamente il connettore. (Connect the electrodes.
Firmly attach the connector.)".
If the electrodes are applied correctly to the patient, as shown in the figure,8 the device
will play the following voice message:

"Analisi del ritmo cardiaco. Non toccare il paziente. (Heartbeat analysis. Do not
touch the patient.)"

"Scarica consigliata. Carica. Non toccare il paziente. (Shock recommended. Shock.
Do not touch the patient.)"
or

"Analisi del ritmo cardiaco. Non toccare il paziente. (Heartbeat analysis. Do not
touch the patient.)''

"Scarica non consigliata. (Shock not recommended)"
Figure 10. TECNOHEART plus: Action icon – Step 2
Notes: If the voice message plays "Scarica non consigliata (Shock not recommended)", the
AED will switch to step 4, which illustrates the CPR process.
Notes: The AED performs Step 2 as soon as it is powered on, after the rescuer has correctly
connected the electrodes to the patient. Moreover, if the electrodes are connected to
the patient, Step 2 will start even if the AED is still in Step 1. This can reduce electrical
shock preparation time for trained rescuers.
Notes: Follow the voice commands. Do not touch the patient, or allow others to touch
him/her during AED analysis. When the analysis is finished, the AED will suggest the
recommended treatment. To keep the patient still, you will need to pay particular
attention. A moving patient could lead to a diagnosis and accordingly an incorrect,
delayed or less effective treatment.
