General Therapy Warnings and Cautions
Shock Hazard
The defibrillator delivers up to 360 joules of electrical
energy. When discharging the defibrillator, do not touch
the paddle electrode surfaces or disposable therapy
electrodes.
Shock Hazard
If a person is touching the patient, bed, or any
conductive material in contact with the patient during
defibrillation, the delivered energy may be partially
discharged through that person. Clear everyone away
from contact with the patient, bed, and other
conductive material before discharging the defibrillator.
Shock Hazard
Do not discharge the defibrillator into the open air. To
remove an unwanted charge, change the energy
selection, select disarm, or turn off the defibrillator.
Possible Fire, Burns, and Ineffective Energy
Delivery
Do not discharge standard paddles on top of therapy
electrodes or ECG electrodes. Do not allow standard
paddles (or therapy electrodes) to touch each other,
ECG electrodes, lead wires, dressings, transdermal
patches, etc. Such contact can cause electrical arcing
and patient skin burns during defibrillation and may
divert defibrillating energy away from the heart muscle.
Possible Skin Burns and Ineffective Energy
Delivery
Therapy electrodes that are dried out or damaged may
cause electrical arcing and patient skin burns during
defibrillation. Do not use therapy electrodes that have
been removed from foil package for more
than 24 hours. Do not use electrodes beyond Use By
date. Check that electrode adhesive is intact and
undamaged. Replace adult therapy electrodes
after 50 shocks or pediatric therapy electrodes
after 25 shocks.
