Warning!
Use the AED Plus unit only as described in this manual. Improper use of the
device can cause death or injury.
DO NOT use or place the AED Plus unit in service until you have read the AED
Plus Operator's and Administrator's Guides.
DO NOT use or place the AED Plus unit in service if the unit's status indicator
window (located on the left side of the handle) displays a red "X".
DO NOT use or place the AED Plus unit in service if the unit emits a beeping tone.
Connect the electrode cable to the AED Plus unit after installing batteries.
Keep the electrode cable connected to the AED Plus unit at all times.
This device should only be used by properly trained individuals.
Only use electrodes labeled "Infant/Child" on children less than 8 years old or
weighing less than 55 lbs (25 kg). Use CPR-D padz if patient is older than 8 years
or weighs more than 55 lbs (25 kg).
Always stand clear of patient when delivering treatment. Defibrillation energy
delivered to the patient may be conducted through the patient's body and cause
a lethal shock to those touching the patient.
DO NOT touch the electrode surfaces, the patient, or any conductive material
touching the patient during ECG analysis or defibrillation.
Move patient away from electrically conductive surfaces prior to use of equipment.
DO NOT use the unit near or within puddles of water.
Keep the patient as motionless as possible during ECG analysis.
DO NOT use the unit near flammable agents, such as gasoline, oxygen-rich
atmospheres, or flammable anesthetics.
Avoid radio frequency interference from high-power sources that might cause the
defibrillator to interpret cardiac rhythms incorrectly by turning off cell phones and
2-way radios.
Disconnect non-defibrillation protected electronic devices or equipment from
patient before defibrillation.
Dry victim's chest, if wet, before attaching electrodes.
Apply freshly opened and undamaged electrodes, within the electrode expiration
date, to clean and dry skin to minimize burning.
DO NOT place electrodes directly over the patient's implanted pacemaker.
Pacemaker stimuli may degrade the accuracy of ECG rhythm analyses or the
pacemaker may be damaged by defibrillator discharges.
Check labeling inside the ZOLL AED Plus cover before using the cover as a Passive
Airway Support System (PASS) device to ensure it is intended for this use.
DO NOT use the Passive Airway Support System (PASS) if there is a suspected
head or neck injury. Place the patient on a firm surface before performing CPR.
DO NOT recharge, disassemble, or dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may
explode if mistreated.
DO NOT use or stack the AED PLUS unit with other equipment. If the unit is used
or stacked with other equipment, verify proper operation prior to use.
Caution!

recommended manufacturers. See the AED Plus Administrator's Guide (P/N
9650-0301-01) for a list of recommended battery manufacturers.
If the device is stored outside the recommended environmental conditions, the
electrode pads and/or batteries may be damaged or their useful life reduced.

Multifunction Cables. Defibrillation can be administered when connected to
other ZOLL defibrillators.The CPR function does not operate with any device
other than the AED Plus defibrillator.
