Use of the CellAED®
Air pockets between the skin and electrode pads can cause ineffective treatment. Make sure electrode pads are completely adhered
to the skin. If necessary and possible, shave hair from the area to ensure good contact. Do not use damaged, expired, or dried out
electrode pads.
Certain materials making contact with the electrode pads during defibrillation can cause electrical sparks, skin burns, and/or divert
electricity energy away from the heart. Do not allow the electrode pads to touch each other or any metal parts or objects (such as a bed
frame or stretcher), medication patches, dressings, or any other material on the patient’s chest or in contact with the patient.
Do not place the electrode pads together when in use, as this may deactivate the CellAED® functions including audio (voice) prompts,
heart rhythm detection and classification, capacitor charge and discharge, and render the CellAED® unusable.
Do not handle or transport the patient while the CellAED® is attached to the patient and analysing the heart rhythm, as this can cause
incorrect or delayed diagnosis. Keep the patient as still as possible while the CellAED® is attached.
The CellAED® should not be used if the patient is conscious, responsive, or breathing normally. No shockable rhythm will be detected
and the CellAED® will not provide shocks.
CAUTION
Storage
Store the CellAED® out of reach of pets or children.
Electromagnetic
Interference and
Radio Frequency
Interference
The normal operation of the CellAED®, including the ability to correctly detect a shockable rhythm, may be impacted if it is operated
near strong sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and/or radio frequency interference (RFI). This can include arc welders and
radio transmitters. If it is safe to do so, keep a separation between the CellAED® and strong sources of EMI and RFI of at least 1.2m (4ft).
