safety levels

possible burns and ineffective energy

 

 

 

 

WARNING

Do not allow the defibrillator pads to touch each other or other ECG

 

 

electrodes, lead wires, dressings, transdermal patches, etc. Such

 

 

contact can cause electrical arcing and patient skin burns during

 

 

defibrillation and may also divert the defibrillation current away from

 

 

the heart.

 

 

 

 

WARNING

During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and defibrillator

 

pads can cause patient skin burns. To help prevent air pockets, make

 

sure defibrillator pads completely adhere to the skin. Do not use

 

dried out defibrillator pads.
