4.3.3 Checking the electrodes
This can occur if:
– the cable is diconnected from the device and/or,
– if the electrodes are not properly applied to the patient’s chest.
Follow these steps to check the electrodes:
1. insert the connector as specified in Step 2 on page 35 .
2. press strongly one after the other the defibrillation pads to the patient’s chest to
find which one makes the yellow indicator switched off,
3. Carefully press this electrode on the patient's skin.
If the electrode defect is not corrected:
1. remove both electrodes,
2. wipe the remaining contact agent off with a cloth,
3. shave both application points to improve the contact between the electrodes and
the skin,
4. apply new defibrillation electrodes.
If the resistance (impedance) reaches an unacceptable value, the device interrupts
and prompts the user to check the electrode application and connection
(

CONNECTOR IS FITTED AND ELECTRODE APPLIED ON CHEST
)
. In addition, the
yellow indicator is lit.
• Then the device recommends to perform a cardiopulmonary resuscitation cycle.
• The device resumes the intervention where it has been interrupted when it detects
that the resistance between both electrodes is again acceptable.
• The device switches off if it still does not detect acceptable resistance between
both electrodes after 5 minutes of CPR.
To remove the electrodes from the patient's chest, see 4.8 Finishing the therapy .
