Pulling Off The Protective Sheet On The Electrodes And Placing the
Electrodes
Fig. 19 Pulling off the Protective Sheet on the Electrodes
The PRIMEDIC™ DefiMonitor instructs you to place the defibrillation electrodes on
the patient through voice prompts.
Proceed in the following manner:
First pull off the protective sheet (1) from one electrode (2) and then place the elec-
trode directly on the position determined earlier.
Then pull off the protective sheet of the second electrode and place it on its position.
Press the electrodes on the patient so that there is no air cushion under the elec-
trodes! This display "Check electrodes" must go off.
Do not the touch the ground, objects, clothing or other parts of the body with the
electrodes (after the protective sheet has been removed). This might remove the
conductible gel coating on the electrodes.
An insufficient coating of gel could lead to burns on the skin under the electrodes
during defibrillation!
Please check that
– the indicator in the display is off.
See the short operator guidance on the SavePads package.
Output in the display is suppressed in the device versions with SpO2.

Check Electrodes

If the device detects an error, it can be due to several reasons:
– There is a contact and / or a conductive gel connection between the defibrilla-
tion electrodes.
– The hair on the patient's body has not been shaved.
– Trapped air between the skin and the defibrillation electrodes causes a bad con-
tact.
– Electrodes have dried out.
Eliminate the cause of the problem!
