CAUTION: Possible Interference with Implanted Pacemaker
Therapy should not be delayed for patients with implanted pacemakers and a defibrillation attempt
should be made if the patient is unconscious and not breathing. The AED has pacemaker detection
and rejection, however with some pacemakers the AED may not advise a defibrillation shock.
Placing Pads:
• Do not place the pads directly over an implanted device.
• Place the pad at least one inch from any implanted device.
CAUTION: Moving the Patient During a Rescue
During a rescue attempt, excessive jostling or moving of the patient may cause AEDs to improperly
analyze the patient's cardiac rhythm. Stop all motion or vibration before attempting a rescue.
CAUTION: Serial Communication Cable
The serial communication cable is only for use with the AED; it is not to be used with a telephone.
CAUTION: Systems Statement
Equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be certified to the respective IEC
standards (i.e. IEC 950 for data processing equipment and IEC 601-1 for medical equipment).
Furthermore, all configurations shall comply with the system standard IEC 601-1-1. Anybody who
connects additional equipment to the signal input part or signal output part configures a medical
system, and is therefore, responsible that the system complies with the requirements of the system
standard IEC 601-1-1.
CAUTION: Case Cleaning Solutions
When disinfecting the case, use a non-oxidizing disinfectant, such as ammonium salts or a
glutaraldehyde based cleaning solution, to avoid damage to the metal connectors.
