Operating instructions
12
Only use the device on a patient if

you have been authorised to do so as a result of training.

you have ensured its operational safety before using it
and that it is in good condition.
Before using it, check whether the device is in the operating
temperature range. This applies for example, if the
defibrillator is stored in a rescue vehicle in the winter.
Do not use the device if it is defective (e.g. if the housing or
the defibrillation cable are damaged).
Only use the device with accessories, wearing parts and
disposable items which have proven to be completely safe to
use by being tested by a testing authority licensed to test the
device when equipped ready for use. These conditions are
fulfilled by all original PRIMEDIC™ accessories and wearing
parts.
Use new, undamaged and unexpired defibrillation electrodes
for every patient to avoid any possible burns to the skin!
Only connect the adhesive electrodes to the PRIMEDIC™
HeartSave PAD. Using the electrodes with other devices can
cause the patient to be given dangerous leakage currents.
Do not use the device in the immediate vicinity of other
sensitive equipment (e.g. measuring equipment that is
sensitive to magnetic fields) or strong sources of interference
which could affect the way the PRIMEDIC™ HeartSave PAD
works. Keep a sufficient distance away from other
therapeutic and diagnostic energy sources (e.g. diathermy,
high frequency surgery, magnetic resonance tomography).
These devices can affect the PRIMEDIC™ HeartSave PAD
and disrupt the way it operates. For this reason, disconnect
the patient from the connections of the interfering devices.
