Important warnings and reminders

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

•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 protections. In addition, make sure the pads are not in contact with metal objects such as a bedframe or stretcher.

•Check supplies, accessories, packaging, and spares for damage and expiration dating.

Environmental considerations

•The defibrillator contains electronic components. Dispose of it at an appropriate recycling facility.

•The battery cells contain chemicals. Recycle the battery at an appropriate recycling facility.

•The used pads may be contaminated. Cut them off and dispose of them properly. Recycle the remaining cartridge components at an appropriate recycling facility.
