The device is not ready for use, if the battery symbol is flashing or lighting. In this case, contact Cardia International or an authorized service provider of Cardia International immediately. 16. OK Symbol CardiAid is ready for use, if the OK symbol is flashing while the device is switched off.
CardiAid is a public access defibrillator (PAD), i.e. an automated external defibrillator (AED) which is available for public use. CardiAid can be used for the resuscitation of patients older than 8 years (>25 kg) with standard electrodes and patients 1 to 8 years old (<25 kg) with special paediatric electrodes.

During this time, the timer for basic life support continues in the background. Application Documentation CardiAid records ECG and incident data in its internal memory. These data may be obtained from the device as a report to be analysed by specialists to define subsequent treatment.
CardiAid CA-10ES Adult Defibrillation Electrodes should be used for patients older than 8 years or weighing more than 25 kg. CardiAid CR-13P Paediatric Electrodes should be used if the patient is 1 to 8 years old or weighs less than 25 kg. Therapy should not be delayed to determine the exact age or weight of the patient.
2.1 Description of the User Manual Please read this user manual carefully to ensure safe and effective use of CardiAid and to be prepared in case of an emergency. If you have additional questions about information in the user manual, you may contact the local distributor or Cardia International directly.

6.2. Function Check for further details). Caution! CardiAid can be used to defibrillate a patient on either a wet or metal surface as long as the appropriate safety precautions are taken. During use of the CardiAid, please be sure that no one is touching the patient when the shock is being delivered.
Do not attempt to deliver electroshock if defibrillation electrodes are in contact with each other or are not connected to the patient. Danger! Be sure that the electrode cable is not wedged when closing the cover of CardiAid. It may damage the electrode cables. Caution! Charging and delivering electroshock may affect the electronic devices nearby.
Caution! In order to prevent faulty interpretation of ECG data, make sure that the patient is lying still, not being touched or moved while CardiAid is analysing heart rhythm. Do not perform basic life support (CPR) during rhythm analysis. Warning! Before delivering the electroshock, make sure the patient is disconnected from other medical devices which do not have defibrillation protection.
Do not place the electrode pad on the nipple. Caution! If there is excessive hair on chest, use the razor in the emergency kit of CardiAid (present inside the cover of the device) to clear the chest before applying electrode pads.
It can only be connected as required. Placing Emergency Kit CardiAid is delivered with an emergency kit placed inside the cover of the device and electrodes placed inside the package in front of the emergency kit. Always keep the device in this condition to help save time in an emergency.
Open the cover of CardiAid. Device will switch on automatically. Self-testing CardiAid immediately starts a self-test when switched on. During self-test, all indication and warning LEDs light up. When self-test is completed, indication symbols show the status of the device. Observe the status indicators before continuing to use CardiAid.

The process by which the shock is delivered varies according to the version of CardiAid being used: • In the semi-automatic version (CT0207RS), the user is asked to press a button to release the shock. • In the full-automatic version (CT0207RF), the device warns the user not to touch the patient and then proceeds to releasing the shock automatically.

CardiAid also provides metronomic signals to guide the rescuer with the correct rhythm and number for the chest compressions. After 30 signal tones, verbal instruction “Now give 2 mouth to mouth breaths”...
If you detect signs of life like consciousness and normal breathing during operation of the device, place the patient in recovery position (lying on one side). Do not remove electrodes. CardiAid will continue operating normally. Heart rhythm analysis will be performed regularly.
5. Hygien CardiAid can be cleaned by a piece of cloth which is moistened (but not saturated) with a simple disinfectant. Caution! Do not immerse CardiAid or its accessories in any liquid. Liquid ingression may cause serious damage and the device can be unusable.
If the OK symbol is flashing in stand-by mode, CardiAid is ready for use. 2. Open the cover of CardiAid. If the following conditions are met, the device is ready to use: • All lights and status indicator symbols light simultaneously for a short period of time.

To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be made. If the measured field strength in the location which the CardiAid Public Access Defibrillator is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorientation or relocating the CardiAid Public Access Defibrillator.
12. Technical Information 12.2 Pulse Form The delivered shock is a biphasic current-based shock. Two different energy levels are implemented in the device, a low energy shock and a high energy shock. The current-based shock has the advantage that the delivered energy depends on the patient impedance. Myocardium damage caused by high electrical current applied to patient with low impedance is reduced considerably with this pulse form.
