External Pacing
WARNING! Pacing is intended for use on adult patients and on adolescent, child, and infant
pediatric patients.
To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not touch the gelled area of the hands-free therapy
electrodes while pacing.
Therapy electrodes should be replaced periodically. Consult electrode directions for
specific recommendations.
Prolonged pacing (in excess of 30 minutes), particularly in adolescent, child, and infant
pediatric patients or adults with severely restricted blood flow, may cause burns.
Periodic inspection of the underlying skin is recommended.
When pacing in demand mode, the pacer may be adversely affected from EMI, RFI, or
ESU. Move patient away from any potential sources of interference.
When ZOLL hands-free therapy electrodes are used, the patient connection is
considered to be defibrillation-protected Type BF.
ECG leads are a defibrillation-protected Type CF patient connection.
