Weinmann MEDUCORE Standard2 Instructions For Use Manual page 17

⇒ Place the defibrillation electrodes correctly as per the
Instructions for Use.
⇒ Always place defibrillation electrodes together on only one
person.
⇒ Prevent the defibrillation electrodes from being touched.
⇒ Keep the defibrillation electrodes away from other electrodes
and parts in contact with the patient.
Risk of injury due to air/moisture between defibrillation
electrodes and the patient's skin!
Air (e.g. in hirsute patients) or moisture between the defibrillation
electrodes and the patient's skin prevent correct shock delivery
and may result in burns to the skin and unsuccessful defibrillation.
⇒ Remove hair in hirsute patients.
⇒ Rub the patient's skin dry.
⇒ Firmly press on the defibrillation electrodes.
Risk of injury due to non-functional defibrillation electrodes!
Non-functional defibrillation electrodes may result in injury and
unsuccessful defibrillation.
⇒ Only use defibrillation electrodes with undamaged packaging.
⇒ Do not use defibrillation electrodes with a dry gel layer,
damage or detached protective film.
⇒ Replace damaged defibrillation electrodes.
⇒ Observe the expiry date of the defibrillation electrodes and, if
necessary, replace the defibrillation electrodes.
⇒ Dispose of defibrillation electrodes after use, and do not reuse
them.
⇒ Only use defibrillation electrodes approved by
WEINMANN Emergency for the device.
Risk of injury and delay in treatment due to implanted cardiac
pacemakers!
Impulses from implanted cardiac pacemakers may affect the
detection of defibrillatable cardiac rhythms, and delay treatment.
Performing defibrillation on patients with implanted cardiac
pacemakers may irreversibly damage the myocardium.
⇒ Position defibrillation electrodes at least 8 cm away from
cardiac pacemakers.
⇒ Choose alternative positions (e.g. anterior-lateral, anterior-
posterior) for the defibrillation electrodes.
