WARNINGS
Always operate the system within the range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), up
to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing), and up to 3,048 meters (10,000 feet)
in altitude. Operating the device outside of this range may damage it and/or
cause the system to malfunction.
Do not use the device in the presence of flammable agents or in an oxygen
enriched atmosphere. This could present an explosion and fire hazard.
If you see Blue gel other than during a treatment, this may indicate a damaged
electrode belt and cause the system to malfunction. Call your device provider
immediately.
If the therapy pad Blue gel gets into your eyes, flush your eyes immediately with
water and contact your physician. Your eyes may become irritated from the Blue
gel.
The LifeVest is magnetic resonance (MRI) unsafe. Do not use it in a MR
imaging environment.
Do not stack or place the LifeVest next to other devices. Doing so could expose
the device to EMI disturbance that may cause the system to malfunction.
Only the patient should press the response buttons. The patient’s ability to
press the response buttons lets the device know whether or not the patient is
conscious and is critical in deciding when to give the patient a shock. If anyone
other than the patient holds the response buttons, needed therapy may not be
delivered, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
Do not touch the patient while a shock is being delivered. Anyone touching the
patient during a treatment may be shocked.
Do not remove the battery, do not disconnect the electrode belt from the
monitor, and do not loosen the garment while the monitor is broadcasting alert
sounds and/or voice prompts. If the battery is removed, the electrode belt
disconnected from the monitor, or the garment is loosened, needed therapy
may not be delivered, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. CPR can be
performed as long as the monitor is not broadcasting alerts sounds and/or voice
prompts. If external defibrillation is available, a decision can be made by a
medical professional to remove the device and monitor/treat the patient with
external equipment.
Do not dispose of or incinerate the batteries. The batteries contain lithium ion
and must be disposed of properly by ZOLL.
Do not force the connector. Allow the connector to align before pushing it in.
Forcing the connector may damage it and cause the system to malfunction.
