Warnings and precautions

 

 

 

 

 

It is important to understand how to use your HeartStart Defibrillator safely.

 

 

Please read these warnings and precautions carefully.

 

 

A warning describes something that could cause serious personal injury or death.

 

 

A precaution describes something that could cause minor personal injury,

 

 

damage to the HeartStart, loss of data stored in the HeartStart, or less chance of

 

 

successful defibrillation.

 

 

NOTE: The HeartStart Defibrillator is designed to be used only with Philips-

 

 

approved accessories. The HeartStart may perform improperly if non-

 

 

approved accessories are used.

 

 

Warnings

D

 

 

flammable gases

If the HeartStart is used to give a shock in the presence of flammable gases such as

 

 

in an oxygen tent, there is a risk of explosion. Move supplemental oxygen and

 

 

oxygen delivery devices away from the defibrillation pads. (However, it is safe to

 

 

use the HeartStart on someone wearing an oxygen mask.)

 

battery

The HeartStart M5070A battery is not rechargeable. Do not try to recharge,

 

 

open, crush, or burn the battery, or it may explode or catch fire.

 

fluids

Do not let fluids get into the HeartStart. Avoid spilling any fluids on the HeartStart

 

 

or its accessories. Spilling fluids into the HeartStart may damage it or cause a fire

 

 

or shock hazard. Do not sterilize the HeartStart or its accessories.

 

accessories

Using damaged or expired equipment or accessories may cause the HeartStart

 

 

Defibrillator to perform improperly, and/or injure the patient or the user.

 

patient handling

Performing CPR or otherwise handling or moving the patient while the HeartStart

 

 

is analyzing heart rhythm can cause an incorrect or delayed analysis. If the

 

 

HeartStart tells you a shock is advised while you are handling or moving the

 

 

patient, stop the vehicle or CPR and keep the patient as still as possible for at least

 

 

15 seconds. This will give the HeartStart time to reconfirm the analysis before

 

 

telling you to press the Shock button.

 

cell phones

The HeartStart can work correctly when it is fairly close to equipment like

 

 

emergency two-way radios and cell phones. Normally, using a cell phone near the

 

 

patient should not cause a problem for the HeartStart. However, it is best to keep

 

 

such equipment only as close as necessary to the patient and the HeartStart.
