Warnings
Warnings are identified by the WARNING symbol displayed above
The warnings identify the danger of potentially dangerous situations (death, injury or
adverse events), damaging the patient or the user.
WARNING: It is essential that all of the users of an AED notify TECNO-GAZ of any accidents
when the AED is suspected of having caused death, serious injury or disease. If
you have any concerns that a similar case has occurred, you are required to notify
TECNO-GAZ directly or through your authorised TECNO-GAZ supplier.
WARNING: The AED must be used by staff trained in CPR manoeuvres and AED use. The
qualifications for use of the AED must follow local legislation.
WARNING: The AED can deliver therapeutic electrical shocks. The shock can cause serious
damage to the operator as well as to bystanders. It is necessary to be very careful that
neither operator nor bystander touch the AED when a shock is about to be delivered.
WARNING: The AED was not designed or approved for use in dangerous areas as specified
in the American National Electrical Code (Articles 500-503). In fulfilment of the
requirements of the IEC/EN 60601-1 classifications, the AED must not be used in the
presence of flammable substances/air mixtures.
WARNING: The AED was designed to operate on unconscious patients, who are not
breathing and do not have a heartbeat*. If the patient is conscious or breathing and their
heartbeat starts up again, do not use the AED. (*health care staff is in charge of
monitoring the heat beat)
WARNING: Touching the patient during the treatment analysis phase may cause interference
with the diagnostic process. Avoid contact with the patient and keep him/her
as still as possible while running the ECG. The AED will tell you when it is safe to touch
the patient.
WARNING: Keep your distance from the patient during treatment. The defibrillation energy
delivered to the patient could be conducted through the patient's body and cause a lethal
shock to anyone touching the patient.
WARNING: It has been determined that the use of the AED is safe when used in combination
with oxygen delivery systems, through masks. Nonetheless, due to the risk
of explosion, it is strongly recommended not to use the AED near explosive gases.
This includes flammable anaesthetics, concentrated oxygen and petrol.
WARNING: The same electrodes can be used on Adult and Paediatric patients. Adult mode
must be used on patients that are 8 years of age or older. Paediatric mode must be
used on patients who are under 8 years of age or who weigh less than 25 kg (55lb).
