Check List - Prior to Use
1. HeartPlus™ is only for the sudden cardiac arrest patients.
Sudden cardiac arrest patients exhibit the following conditions :
1) Unconsciousness
2) No movement
3) No pulse
2. Before using the product, keep in mind the following :
1) Electric shocks are conductive to water, so move the patient to another place if

3. Take off patient's upper-body clothing and attach electrode pads.
1) Electrode pads should be adhered to the patient’s body in the same way as
illustrated on the picture on the pads themselves and on the AED’s main panel.
2) If the patient’s body is wet and contaminated, you should put electrode pads on
the body after using the supplied towel to clean and dry the patient. If for some

Failure to do so may result in incorrect ECG analysis.
4. While operating the device, pay close attention to the following :
1) The electrode pads should be apart from each other and/or metallic parts
touching the patient.
2) While HeartPlus™ is analyzing the patient’s state, the patient must not be
