Risk of injury due to movement artifacts!
Movement artifacts erroneously detected as R waves may cause
the device to deliver a shock at the wrong time and thus injure the
patient.
Prepare the patient for cardioversion in line with currently
applicable guidelines in order to avoid patient movements.
Stand clear of the patient to avoid movement artifacts.
Risk of injury from electric shock!
The electric shock administered to the patient may injure the user
or bystanders.
Stand clear of the patient.
Keep patient away from liquids (e.g. blood, gel or saline
solution).
Do not touch parts in contact with the patient (e.g. bed frames
or stretchers).
Keep your distance from liquids in contact with the patient.
Clearly warn bystanders to stand clear of the patient or parts in
contact with the patient and to keep their distance from liquids
in contact with the patient.
Failure of therapy due to defibrillation electrodes accidentally
coming loose during shock delivery!
Defibrillation electrodes accidentally coming loose during shock
delivery may lead to damage to the device and thus to the failure
of treatment. This may injure the patient.
Ensure that the defibrillation electrodes are always connected
to the device during shock delivery.
15. Press and hold the shock button
When doing so, please note:
•
The device synchronizes shock delivery with the next R
wave.
•
If the shock button
not detect an R wave after the shock button has been
pressed, the shock capacitor discharges automatically after
5 s.
