Notice
18 EN MEDUCORE Standard
Risk of injury due to ECG misinterpretation if ECG is derived
from the defibrillation electrodes!
If the ECG is derived from the defibrillation electrodes, the device
shows a non-diagnostic ECG curve. The ECG curve is designed to
detect shockable cardiac rhythms and is not suitable for
differential diagnostics. This can result in ECG misinterpretation,
and thus in injury to the patient.
⇒ Do not use ECGs derived from defibrillation electrodes for
differential diagnosis.
Delay in treatment due to simultaneous voice prompts from
defibrillator and ventilator!
If the defibrillator in AED mode is used in conjunction with a
ventilator (MEDUMAT Easy CPR) which also guides the user
through cardiopulmonary resuscitation by means of voice
prompts, the simultaneous voice prompts from defibrillator and
ventilator may confuse the user, and delay treatment.
⇒ When using the defibrillator in AED mode and a ventilator at
the same time, switch off the ventilator voice prompts.
Risk of injury and treatment delay from connecting the device
to several patients!
Connection of the device to several patients may result in the ECG
being misinterpreted and thus to unsuccessful defibrillation. This
can injure the patient.
⇒ Only connect the device, components and accessories to one
patient.
Damage to the device caused by the delivery of defibrillation
energy!
The charging and delivery of defibrillation energy may interfere
with the functioning of other electrical devices or damage devices
connected to the patient or in the vicinity of the defibrillator.
⇒ Disconnect from the patient any electrical devices without
defibrillation protection.
⇒ After using the defibrillator, check the function of the electrical
devices in its vicinity.
⇒ Maintain separation distances between the defibrillator and
portable and mobile radio-frequency communications devices.
Damage to the device caused by removal of the defibrillation
electrodes during shock delivery!
Removal of the defibrillation electrodes during shock delivery can
cause damage to the device.
