Warnings and cautions
!
WARNING! Improper equipment placement
Position the AED away from other equipment in accordance with the information in the electromagnetic
compliance tables (see Appendix D,

!
WARNING! Possible improper delivery of therapy
If it is practical, move the patient to a firm surface before attempting to perform a rescue.
!
WARNING! Patient injury
Do not place the CPR device on an open wound.
!
WARNING! Electromagnetic compatibility
Use of accessories or cables other than those specified, with the exception of accessories and cables
sold by Cardiac Science Corporation as replacement parts for internal components, may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of the AED.
!
WARNING! Possible interference with implanted pacemaker
Therapy should not be delayed for patients with implanted pacemakers and a defibrillation attempt
should be made if the patient is unconscious and not breathing or not breathing normally. The AED
has pacemaker detection and rejection, however with some pacemakers the AED may not advise
a defibrillation shock. (Cummins, R., ed., Advanced Cardiac Life Support; AHA (1994): Ch. 4)

• Do not place the pads directly over an implanted device.
• Place the pad at least one inch from any implanted device.

Used pads may not adhere properly to the patient. Improper pad adhesion may result in skin burns.
Improper pad adhesion may result in improper AED performance. Used pads may cause patient-to-
patient contamination.
!

Keep a battery attached to the AED at all times so that the AED is available to perform rescues.
In addition, keep a spare battery available.
