Unpacking and applying electrodes

 Risks for the user and the patient — The packaging of pre-connected electrodes
is welded to the electrode cable. Do not remove the packaging from the
electrode cable (risk of damaging the cable).
 Check expiring date of the electrodes.
After having removed the clothes from the patient's upper body, perform the following
steps:
 Open the electrode packaging and apply the electrodes to the patient's chest ac-
cording to chapter
 If not connected, insert the electrode connector into the electrode port.
• The orange indicator is on and the device repeats the instructions until the elec-
trodes are applied, or until the electrode connector is connected to the device, re-
spectively, and the electrode-skin resistance (impedance) has reached an accept-
able level.
• After several repetitions to apply and connect the electrodes, the device recom-
mends performing a cardiopulmonary resuscitation cycle. The device will then
switch off if it has not detected an acceptable impedance between the two elec-
trodes after 15, 30 minutes or never. (see configuration
