Safety Instructions for the Patient

Use the device to treat a patient only if you are convinced of the functional safety
and the proper condition of the device before using it!
Before using the device, check if the device is in the operating temperature range.
This, for example, applies if the defibrillator is kept in an ambulance in winter.
Do not use the device in case of any defect (e.g. if the defibrillation cable is dam-
aged).
Use the device only with accessories, wearing parts and expendable articles whose
suitability with regard to their safe use has been proved by a body authorised to test
the ready usability of devices. All original PRIMEDIC™ accessories and wearing
parts fulfil these conditions.
To avoid possible skin burns, use new and undamaged defibrillation electrodes fal-
ling within the expiry date for each patient!
Connect the adhesive electrodes only to PRIMEDIC™
electrode systems with other devices can cause harmful leakage current to emit on
to the patient.
Do not operate the device in the immediate proximity of other sensitive equipment
(e.g. measuring instruments that react sensitively to magnetic fields) or strong
sources of interference that are likely to affect the functioning of PRIMEDIC™ De-
fiMonitor. Maintain adequate distance from other therapeutic and diagnostic energy
sources (e.g. diathermy, high frequency surgery, magnetic spin tomography). These
devices can affect PRIMEDIC™ DefiMonitor and interfere with its functioning.
During defibrillation, detach all other electronic devices used for medical purposes
from the patient that do not have a defibrillation-proof user component.
Keep the defibrillation electrodes away from other electrodes and metallic parts that
are in contact with the patient!
Do not use the device in Automatic mode for children under eight years or for chil-
dren weighing less than 25 kg!
Place the electrodes exactly as described
Before placing the defibrillation electrodes, dry the patient's chest and carefully
shave off any dense growth of hair.
