Pre-defibrillation Action
Before using the AED, it is necessary to run the following controls and actions in order to
prepare the patient.

Remove any clothing and expose the bare chest.

If the chest is excessively hairy, shave the area where the electrodes must be
applied.

Make sure the patient's chest is dry. When necessary, dry the area.
Turn the AED on
WARNING: Paediatric mode must be used on patients who are between 1 and 8
years of age or who weigh less than 25 kg (55lb).
WARNING: If the electrodes are not applied correctly, the AED may cause damage
to the patient. To place the electrodes in the correct positions, follow the voice
messages and the action icons. If the electrodes are not set up correctly,
the treatment will not work or the electric shock will burn the patient's skin.
WARNING: Do not position the electrodes near the generator of an internal
pacemaker. The analysis of a patient's heat beat with an implanted pacemaker
could be inexact or the pacemaker could be damaged by the discharge of the
defibrillator.
WARNING: Do not perform chest compressions (CPR) on the electrodes. These
actions could damage the electrodes and cause the AED to malfunction.
WARNING: Always apply the electrodes to smooth areas of skin. Avoid applying
the electrodes to skin folds, such as those below the breasts or on obese patients.
If there is excessive hair, poor adhesion or air bubbles between the skin and the
electrodes, this may cause burning or inefficient transfer of
energy.
WARNING: To apply the electrodes to the patient's chest correctly, if
necessary, shave the application area .
WARNING: Always check the expiration date of the electrodes, and do not use the
electrodes if the packages have previously been opened. If the excessively
dry pads are attached, AED may interpret as a condition that the pads are not
attached to the patient.
WARNING: Touching the patient during the treatment analysis phase may cause
interference with the diagnostic process. Avoid touching the patient during the
analysis phase. The AED will play a voice message when it is safe to
touch the patient.
WARNING: The AED delivers electric shocks that can cause serious damage to
operators and bystanders. Make sure no one is touching the patient while the
shock is being delivered.
Notes: It is only possible to use TECNO-GAZ electrodes. Using other types of electrodes
can cause damage to the patient and to the AED.
Notes: If the AED is powered on outside of the ambient operating condition range set forth
in this manual, the temperature status will flash. In this case, expose the AED to
suitable temperatures prior to operation.
