Special operating conditions
The device may be approved for special operating conditions in consultation with the
manufacturer and/or the inspecting authority, as long as all guidelines and regulations
are observed (e.g. for the maritime sector).
6.5.1
Maritime use
The following device is approved for maritime use:
• FRED easy with silent mode
• Basic wall mounting without mains connection
• Sufficient spare batteries
• LAN cable for the transmission of the ECG
Accessory that is not included in the scope of delivery and needs to be provided by
the owner:
• Insulating mat for defibrillation on conducting surfaces.
Ambient conditions for storage before use
In order to guarantee operational readiness of the device and accessories, the device
preferably needs to be stored in a climatised room below deck, in the following climat-
ic conditions:
Temperature 15...25 °C
Ensures operational readiness as well as maximum battery life.
Temperature -5...40 °C
Ensures operational readiness but reduces battery life. (This is compensated by
spare batteries).
Ambient conditions for operation
Temperature -5...40 °C
Operation is guaranteed if the storage conditions listed above are met for the storage
before use.
If higher or lower temperatures prevail during use, a limited operation time of up to
one hour is possible if the device incl. electrodes has been stored at a temperature of
15...25 °C. It is recommended to store spare batteries and spare electrodes at a tem-
perature of 15...20 °C.
Operating conditions on deck
• For the defibrillation, the patient needs to be placed on a dry and non conducting
surface to prevent leakage currents that could endanger the rescuers. Therefore,
the patient needs to be placed on an insulating mat.
• If the patient's skin is wet, it needs to be dried completely with a cloth so as not to
reduce the shock's efficiency.
• In extreme weather conditions such as rain and wind, the patient must not be treat-
ed on deck.
The device needs to be stored before use (incl. inserted battery, electrodes and spare
batteries) according to the technical data.
