Cautions; Restarting The Defibrillator - ZOLL R Series Service Manual

C 1 G
HAPTER ENERAL
During electrosurgery, observe the following guidelines to minimize electrosurgery unit (ESU)
interference and provide maximum operator and patient safety:
Keep all patient monitoring cables away from earth ground, ESU knives, and ESU
•
return wires.
Use electrosurgical grounding pads with the largest practical contact area.
•
Always ensure proper application of the electrosurgical return electrode to the patient.
Check electrical leakage levels before use. Leakage current may be excessive if more than one
monitor or other piece of equipment is connected to the patient.
Do not use the ZOLL OneStep Pacing cable (REF 1009-0913-02) or the ZOLL Multi-Function
Cable (REF 1009-0913-03) in a 220/240 VAC 60Hz power environment. Patient leakage
current may be excessive.
Do not place the unit in contact with a patient. Burns may result.

Cautions

If the unit is to be stored longer than 90 days, remove the battery pack.
Do not sterilize the defibrillator, or its accessories unless the accessories are labelled as
sterilizable.
Do not immerse any part of the defibrillator in water.
Do not use ketones (such as acetone or MEK) on the defibrillator.
Avoid using abrasives (including paper towels) on the display window.
To protect the unit from damage during defibrillation, for accurate ECG information, and to
protect against noise and other interference, use only internal current-limiting ECG cables
specified or supplied by ZOLL.
For continued safety and EMI performance, use only the line cord supplied by ZOLL.
Dispose of battery packs in accordance with national, regional and local regulations. Battery
packs should be shipped to a reclamation facility for recovery of metal and plastic compounds
as the proper method of waste management.

Restarting the Defibrillator

Certain events require the R Series products to be restarted after they shut off or become
inoperative (for example, when the battery runs down and the unit shuts off).
In such a case, always try to restore defibrillator operation as follows:
1. Turn the Mode Selector to OFF.
If necessary, replace a depleted battery with a fully charged pack, or connect the defibrillator
2.
to AC mains.
Turn the Mode Selector to the desired operating mode to restart the unit.
3.
This sequence is necessary to restart the defibrillator and can also be used to clear some fault
messages when immediate use of the defibrillator is required.
