Safety Conscious Operation V
Ensure that the personnel have read and understood these operating instructions and in particular this chapter “Safety Notes".
V
Position the device so that there is no possibility of it falling on the patient or floor.
V
Do not touch the unit casing during defibrillation.
V
Electric shock hazard. The energy supplied to the patient can be conducted through the patient to other persons, possibly resulting in a fatal electric shock. For this reason:
– Do not touch the patient, the electrodes or other conductive objects while defibrillation is in progress. – Do not defibrillate the patient in a puddle of water or on other conductive surfaces. – Switch off the device when it is no longer needed. V To ensure patient's safety neither the electrodes, including the neutral electrode, nor the patient, or persons touching the patient, must come into contact with conducting objects even if these are earthed. If the patient has an implanted pacemaker, be sure not to position the electrode directly on top of it.
V
Immediately report any changes that impair safety (including operating behaviour) to the person responsible.
V
Only connect original SCHILLER adhesive electrodes to the device.
V
Prior to switching on the device, perform a visual inspection to ensure that there is no damage to the device casing or the electrode connector port.

ARGUS PRO LifeCare with Optional Shock Frame and Bag The ARGUS PRO LifeCare is a vital signs patient monitor with integrated defibrillator. It is designed to meet the specific needs of ground and air rescue services and inhouse and inter-hospital transportation. Data is viewed on an LCD and optionally printed on an external thermal printer.
The unit is powered from a removable long-life accumulator that is charged via an independent charger. A fully charged accumulator provides >250 shocks at maximum energy, or 4 hours of monitoring (dependent on parameter settings and NIBP measurement interval). An internal backup battery is also provided to ensure uninterrupted monitoring backup when the main accumulator is not present (e.g. being exchanged). This battery provides approximately two minutes of independent patient monitoring. Additional monitoring options with diagnostic capability can be provided when the ARGUS PRO LifeCare is connected to the SCHILLER ARGUS PRO Transport or the SCHILLER ARGUS PRO Panel.
