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

 

contact with the patient.

 

Precautions

device handling

The HeartStart was designed to be sturdy and reliable for many different use

 

conditions. However, handling the HeartStart too roughly can damage it or its

 

accessories and will invalidate the warranty. Check the HeartStart and accessories

 

regularly for damage, according to directions.

maintenance

Improper maintenance may damage the HeartStart or cause it to function

 

improperly. Maintain the HeartStart according to directions.

skin burns

Do not let the pads touch each other or other electrodes, lead wires, dressings,

 

medicine patches, etc. Such contact can cause electrical arcing and skin burns

 

during a shock and may also divert the electrical current away from the patient’s

 

heart. During a shock, air pockets between the skin and pads can cause skin burns.

 

To help prevent air pockets, make sure pads stick well to the skin. Do not use

 

dried out pads because they will not provide good contact with the skin.

patient handling

Before delivering a shock, it is important to disconnect the patient from other

 

medical electrical equipment, such as blood-flow meters, that may not incorporate

 

defibrillation protection. In addition, make sure the pads are not in contact with

 

metal objects such as a bed frame or stretcher.
