Connect the adhesive electrodes only to PRIMEDIC™ HeartSave AED. The use of
electrode systems with other devices can cause harmful leakage current to emit
on to the patient.

ment (e.g. measuring instruments that react sensitively to magnetic fields) or
strong sources of interference that are likely to affect the functioning of
PRIMEDIC™ HeartSave AED. Maintain adequate distance from other therapeutic
and diagnostic energy sources (e.g. diathermy, high frequency surgery, magnetic
spin tomography). These devices can affect PRIMEDIC™ HeartSave AED and in-
terfere with its functioning.
