2 Safety
Risk of injury during resuscitation due to incorrect settings in
the operator menu!
Incorrect settings in the operator menu may result in undesirable
effects during resuscitation as well as injure the patient.
Only allow persons with specialist knowledge of the latest
resuscitation recommendations to make settings in the
operator menu.
If you are unaware of the most recent recommendations for
resuscitation: Use the factory settings.
Delay in treatment due to movement artifacts during ECG
analysis!
Movement artifacts may falsify the ECG analysis in AED mode and
the ECG in manual mode. They may result in the user or the device
interpreting the ECG incorrectly, delaying treatment.
During cardiac rhythm analysis:
Keep the patient still.
Stand clear of the patient.
Do not carry out chest compressions.
Do not ventilate the patient.
Do not transport the patient.
Risk of injury and delay in treatment due to incorrectly
attached defibrillation electrodes!
Incorrectly attached defibrillation electrodes may falsify the ECG
and result in the user triggering an unnecessary shock, not
triggering a necessary shock or in unsuccessful defibrillation due
to incorrect interpretation of an ECG.
Attach the defibrillation electrodes correctly as per the
instructions for use.
Always place defibrillation electrodes together on only one
person.
Prevent contact with the defibrillation electrodes.
Keep the defibrillation electrodes away from other electrodes
and parts in contact with the patient.
Risk of injury due to air/moisture between defibrillation
electrodes and the patient's skin!
Air (e.g. in the case of hirsute patients) or moisture between the
defibrillation electrodes and the patient's skin prevent correct
shock delivery and may result in burns to the skin and unsuccessful
defibrillation/cardioversion.
Remove hair from hirsute patients.
Rub the patient's skin dry.
