⇒ Always leave defibrillation electrodes connected to the device
during shock delivery.
2.1.5 ECG monitoring
Warning Risk of injury from incorrect, expired or damaged ECG
electrodes!
Incorrect, expired or damaged ECG electrodes impair the quality
of the ECG signal and falsify measurements. This can injure the
patient.
⇒ Use ECG electrodes WM 45201 which have been approved by
WEINMANN Emergency. If this is not possible: Only use ECG
electrodes which satisfy all the of the following points.
⇒ Only use ECG electrodes as per AAMI EC 12.
⇒ Only use high-quality ECG electrodes.
⇒ Observe the expiry date of the ECG electrodes and, if necessary,
replace the ECG electrodes.
⇒ Only use ECG electrodes with undamaged packaging.
⇒ Do not use ECG electrodes with a dry gel layer, damage or
detached protective film.
⇒ Do not remove ECG electrodes from the packaging until
directly before use.
⇒ Replace damaged ECG electrodes during use.
⇒ Do not use ECG electrodes for defibrillation.
⇒ Dispose of ECG electrodes after use, and do not reuse them.
Risk of injury from using the 6-lead ECG for more in-depth
diagnostics!
The ECG curve of the 6-lead ECG is not suitable for differential
diagnostics (e.g. infarction diagnostics). This can result in ECG
misinterpretation, and thus in injury to the patient.
⇒ Do not use the 6-lead ECG for differential diagnostics.
⇒ Additionally, use a 12-lead diagnostics ECG device for
differential diagnostics.
Risk of injury and delay in treatment due to implanted cardiac
pacemakers!
In the case of patients with cardiac pacemakers, the device detects
the pacemaker impulses and suppresses the heart rate display and
heart rate alarms. This may result in injury to the patient.
⇒ Monitor patients with pacemakers very closely.
