2.6.4 Defibrillation/cardioversion
Warning
Risk of injury due to sparks during defibrillation/cardioversion
in combination with oxygen/flammable gases and
combustible materials!
During defibrillation/cardioversion in an oxygen-enriched
atmosphere/an atmosphere containing flammable gases and in
the presence of combustible materials (e.g. textiles), sparks
generated by defibrillation/cardioversion may cause explosion and
fire which may injure the patient, user or bystanders.
When treating patients with oxygen masks, nasal tubes or
nasal cannulas: Switch off the oxygen supply or place the
inhalation points at least 1 meter away from the patient during
defibrillation, and ensure that the flow of the oxygen/air
mixture can escape away from the torso.
When treating patients with a bag-valve mask: Leave the bag-
valve mask securely in place on the patient tube or place it at
least 1 meter away from the patient, and ensure that the flow
of the oxygen/air mixture can escape away from the torso.
When connecting patients to a ventilator: Ensure that the flow
of the oxygen/air mixture coming from the exhalation valve can
escape away from the torso.
When carrying out defibrillation/cardioversion in cramped
spaces with an oxygen-enriched atmosphere, ensure that there
is adequate ventilation.
Risk of injury due to missing battery!
Operation with line power without a battery prevents the device
being fully ready for use as the shock capacitor in the device
cannot charge. This prevents shock delivery and delays treatment.
Only operate the device with the battery inserted.
Risk of injury due to unsuitable AED analysis algorithm in
children below one year of age!
The device's AED analysis algorithm is not designed for children
below one year of age and may result in injury to the child.
Do not use AED mode on children below one year of age.
