Reminders Remove any medicine patches and residual adhesive from the patient’s chest before applying the pads.

Do not allow the pads to contact other electrodes or metal parts that are in contact with the patient.

Avoid placing the pads directly over an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator. A noticeable lump with a surgical scar should indicate the position of an implanted device.

If the pads do not stick well, check that the pads adhesive has not dried out.

Each pad has a layer of adhesive gel. If the gel is not sticky to the touch, replace the pads with a new set.

Keep the patient still and keep any movement around the patient to a minimum during rhythm analysis. Do not touch the patient or the pads while the Caution light is on solid or flashing. If the HeartStart is unable to analyze due to electrical “noise” (artifact), it will tell you to stop all movement and remind you not to touch the patient. If the artifact continues for more than 30 seconds, the HeartStart will pause briefly to allow you to deal with the source of the noise, then resume analysis.

The HeartStart will not deliver a shock unless you press the flashing orange Shock button. If you do not press the Shock button within 30 seconds after the defibrillator tells you to, it will disarm itself, and (for the first CPR interval) give a reminder to make sure emergency medical services have been called, then begin a CPR interval. This is designed to minimize interruption of CPR and help ensure ongoing patient support.

While waiting for you to press the Shock button, the HeartStart will continue to analyze the heart rhythm. If the patient’s rhythm changes before you press the Shock button, and a shock is no longer needed, the defibrillator will disarm and tell you a shock is not advised.

If for any reason you want to turn off the defibrillator during a use, you can press the On/Off button – holding it down for at least one second – to return the device to standby mode.
