SCHILLER original patient cable is used. However, as a safety precaution and if
possible, remove the electrodes before defibrillation.
 Do not touch the unit during defibrillation.
 To ensure patient safety, none of the electrodes including the neutral electrode,
nor the patient or any person with simultaneous patient contact, must come in
contact with conductive parts, even when these are earthed.
 Immediately report any changes that impair safety (including operating
behaviour) to the responsible person.
 Do not place any liquids on the unit. If liquid is spilled on the device, immediately
disconnect the device from the mains and wipe it. The device must be checked
before reusing.
 Only connect the original SCHILLER patient cable to the patient socket.
 If the patient cable should become defective after defibrillation, an electrode
becomes displaced, or an electrode resistance is too high, a lead-off indication is
displayed in the upper right part of the screen (see
patient cable check, page 25).
 Only use accessories and disposables recommended or supplied by SCHILLER.
The use of third-party accessories (including disposables) may result in injury,
