Warnings
General
Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this defibrillator to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Only appropriately trained, skilled personnel who are familiar with equipment operation should
perform emergency defibrillation. The prescribing physician should determine what training,
such as Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) or Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, is
appropriate.
Only skilled personnel trained in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and who are familiar
with equipment operation should perform synchronized cardioversion. The precise cardiac
arrhythmia must be determined before attempting defibrillation.
These operating instructions describe the functions and proper operation of the Propaq MD
products. They are not a substitute for a formal patient care training course. Operators should
obtain formal training from an appropriate authority before using this defibrillator for patient
care.
Proper operation of the unit and correct electrode placement is critical to obtaining optimal
results. Operators must be thoroughly familiar with proper device operation.
The use of external pacing/defibrillation electrodes, accessories, or adapter devices from
sources other than ZOLL is not recommended. ZOLL makes no representations or warranties
regarding the performance or effectiveness of its products when used with pacing/defibrillation
electrodes or adapter devices from other sources. Defibrillator failures attributable to the use of
pacing/defibrillation electrodes or adapters not manufactured by ZOLL might void ZOLL’s
warranty.
At receipt of shipment, check pacing/defibrillation electrodes to ensure compatibility.
Allow ample slack in cables to make sure that cables do not tug at electrodes.
Do not disassemble the unit. A shock hazard exists. Refer all problems to authorized service
personnel.
Follow all recommended maintenance instructions. If a problem occurs, obtain service
immediately. Do not use the defibrillator until it has been inspected by appropriate personnel.
