Risk of injury from movement artifacts when using
defibrillation electrodes for synchronous shock delivery!
Cardioversion cannot be carried out without 6-lead monitoring, as
the device may erroneously detect movement artifacts as R waves
and deliver a shock at the wrong time. This may injure the patient.
Always carry out 6-lead ECG monitoring for synchronous shock
A charged battery is inserted in the device.
The patient is prepared in line with currently applicable
guidelines.
