Safety Considerations

Safety Considerations All operators should review these safety considerations before placing the AED Pro unit into service. These operating instructions describe the functions and proper operation of the AED Pro unit. This manual does not substitute for a formal training course. Operators must obtain formal training from an appropriate authority before using this device for patient care. Follow all recommended maintenance instructions. If a problem occurs, obtain service immediately. Do not use the device until it has been inspected by appropriate personnel. Do not disassemble the unit. A shock hazard exists. Refer all problems to authorized service personnel. The AED Pro unit is capable of delivering 200 joules. To completely deactivate the unit, turn it off and remove the battery pack. To manually disarm a charged (or charging) defibrillator, do one of the following: • Turn the unit off for at least 3 seconds. • Press the DISARM softkey (manual mode only).

For safety, the AED Pro unit automatically disarms a fully charged defibrillator after 60 seconds in manual mode or 30 seconds in semiautomatic mode if the Shock button is not pressed.

General Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this device to use by or on the order of a physician. Proper operation of the unit and correct electrode placement are critical to obtaining optimal results. Operators must be thoroughly familiar with proper device operation. The use of external defibrillation electrodes or adapter devices from sources other than ZOLL is not recommended. ZOLL Medical Corporation makes no representations or warranties regarding the performance or effectiveness of its products when used with defibrillation electrodes or adapter devices from other sources. Device failures attributable to the use of defibrillation electrodes or adapters not manufactured by ZOLL might void the warranty on the ZOLL equipment. This device is protected against interference from radio frequency emissions typical of the two-way radios and cellular phones (digital and analog) used in emergency service or public safety activities. You should assess the device’s performance in your typical operating environment to determine the likelihood of radio frequency interference (RFI) from high-power sources. Radio frequency interference can cause shifts in the monitor baseline, trace compression, changes to brightness of the display, or transient spikes on the screen. The AED Pro unit might not perform to specifications when stored at the upper or lower extreme limits of storage temperature and then immediately put into use. Do not use or stack the unit with other equipment. If the unit is used or stacked with other electrical equipment, verify proper operation before using it. Do not use or place the unit in service if it beeps while turned off. Do not use or place the unit in service if the Ready indicator (at the upper right of the front panel) shows a red “X”.

PREFACE Defibrillation Emergency defibrillation should be performed only by appropriately trained, skilled personnel who are familiar with the operation of the equipment. The prescribing physician should determine what training, such as Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) or Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, is appropriate for operating this device.

ECG analysis A patient must be motionless during ECG analysis. Do not touch the patient during analysis. Cease all patient movement by stretcher or vehicle before beginning ECG analysis in semiautomatic mode.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) Before performing CPR, place the patient on a firm surface.

Battery care Keep a fully charged spare battery pack with the device at all times. When the unit displays the message CHANGE BATTERY, immediately replace the battery pack with a fully charged one. Regular use of a partially charged battery pack without fully recharging it between uses might permanently reduce the battery’s capacity and result in early failure. Regularly test rechargeable battery packs. A rechargeable battery pack that does not pass its test could fail without warning. Do not disassemble a battery pack or dispose of it in fire. Do not try to recharge a nonrechargeable battery pack. If mistreated, a battery pack might explode. Dispose of battery packs in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Battery packs should be shipped to a reclamation facility for recovery of metal and plastic compounds as the proper method of waste management.

Operator Safety Do not use the unit near oxygen-rich atmospheres, flammable anesthetics, or other flammable agents (such as gasoline). Do not use the unit within standing water. Before discharging the defibrillator, warn everyone to stand clear of the patient. Do not discharge the defibrillator except as indicated in the instructions. Discharge the defibrillator only when defibrillation pads are properly attached to the patient. Never discharge the unit with the defibrillation pads shorted together or in open air.

Electrical shock Before defibrillation, be sure to disconnect from the patient all electromedical equipment that is not defibrillation-protected. Keep defibrillation electrodes away from all other equipment attached to the patient and from metal objects in contact with the patient.

9650-0350-01 Rev. F

Safety Considerations During defibrillation, do not touch the bed, the patient, conductive material, or any equipment connected to the patient; a severe shock can result. To avoid hazardous pathways for the defibrillation current, do not allow exposed portions of the patient’s body to touch any metal objects, such as a bed frame.

Accessory equipment The use of accessory equipment that does not comply with the equivalent safety requirements of the AED Pro device could reduce the level of safety of the resulting system. When selecting accessory equipment, consider the following: • Use of the accessory in the patient vicinity • Evidence that the safety certification of the accessory has been performed in accordance

with the appropriate IEC (EN) 60601-1 and/or IEC (EN) 60601-1-1 harmonized national standards.

Patient Safety The AED Pro unit detects ECG electrical signals only and does not detect a pulse (effective circulatory perfusion). Always verify pulse and heart rate by physical assessment of the patient. Never assume that the display of a nonzero heart rate means that the patient has a pulse. ECG rhythm analysis does not warn of patient asystole, which is not a shockable rhythm. Do not connect the AED Pro to a PC or other device (via the USB port) while the unit’s electrodes are still connected to the patient.

Defibrillation pads and ECG electrodes Check the expiration date on the electrode packaging. Do not use electrodes that have passed their expiration date. Do not use defibrillation pads or ECG electrodes if the gel is dried or damaged; patient burns or poor quality ECG signals might result from using such electrodes. Poor adherence or air pockets under defibrillation pads can cause arcing, skin burns, or reduced energy delivery. To minimize burning, apply freshly opened and undamaged defibrillation pads to clean and dry skin. Excessive body hair or wet, diaphoretic skin can inhibit electrode pad coupling (contact) with the skin. Clip excess hair and dry any moisture from the area where an electrode pad is to be attached. To prepare for an emergency, keep the defibrillation electrode cable connected to the unit at all times, even when the unit is not in use. Use only high-quality ECG electrodes. ECG electrodes are for monitoring only; you cannot use ECG electrodes for defibrillation.

Implanted pacemakers Do not place electrodes directly over an implanted pacemaker. Implanted pacemakers might cause the heart rate meter or ECG rhythm analysis to count the pacemaker rate during incidents of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmia. Carefully observe pacemaker patients. Check the patient’s pulse; do not rely solely on heart rate meters. Patient history and physical examination are important factors in determining the presence of an implanted pacemaker.

PREFACE

Intended Use The AED Pro unit is intended to defibrillate victims of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia, for ECG monitoring, and for CPR monitoring of patients. The CPR monitoring function provides a metronome designed to encourage rescuers to perform chest compressions at the AHA/ERC recommended rate of 100 compressions per minute. Voice and visual prompts encourage a compression depth of 1.5 to 2 inches (3.8 to 5.0 cm) for adult patients.

Indications for Use Use of the device for defibrillation is indicated on victims of cardiac arrest with apparent lack of circulation as indicated by • Unconsciousness • Absence of breathing, and • Absence of pulse and other signs of circulation. When the victim is less than 8 years old or weighs less than 55 lb. (25 kg), use ZOLL pedi•padz® II pediatric defibrillation electrodes. Do not delay therapy to determine the patient’s exact age or weight. The device is also intended for use when ECG monitoring is indicated to evaluate the patient’s heart rate or ECG morphology.

Contraindications for Use Defibrillation Never use the AED Pro unit for defibrillation when the patient • Is conscious • Is breathing, or • Has a detectable pulse or other sign of circulation.

CPR Monitoring The CPR monitoring function is not intended for use on patients under 8 years of age.

Intended Users In semiautomatic mode, the AED Pro unit is intended to be used by rescuers and emergency care personnel who have completed training and certification requirements applicable to the use of a defibrillator where the operator controls delivery of shocks to the patient. In manual mode, the AED Pro unit is intended to be used only by qualified medical personnel trained in Advanced Life Support skills. In ECG monitoring mode, the AED Pro unit is intended to be used by personnel who are qualified by training in the use of the AED Pro device, basic life and/or advanced life support, or other physician-authorized emergency medical training.

Defibrillator Precautions Inappropriate defibrillation of a patient (for example, with no malignant arrhythmia) can precipitate ventricular fibrillation, asystole, or other dangerous types of arrhythmia. Without proper application of electrode pads, defibrillation might be ineffective and cause burns, particularly when repeated shocks are necessary. Erythema or hyperemia of the skin under the defibrillation pads often occurs. This reddening effect, often enhanced along the perimeter of the pad, should diminish substantially within 72 hours.

Defibrillator output energy The AED Pro unit can deliver as much as 200 joules into a 50 ohm impedance. The energy delivered through the chest wall, however, is determined by the patient’s transthoracic impedance.
