WARNING
Do not place adult defibrillation pads in the anterior-posterior (front-back)
position. A shock or no shock decision may be inappropriately advised. The
DDU-100 AED requires that the adult defibrillation pads be placed in the anterior-
anterior (front-front) position.
WARNING
Some very low amplitude or low frequency rhythms may not be interpreted
as shockable VF rhythms. Also some VT rhythms may not be interpreted as
shockable rhythms.
WARNING
Handling or transporting the patient during ECG analysis can cause incorrect or
delayed diagnosis, especially if very low amplitude or low frequency rhythms
are present. During analysis and from “Shock Advised” until “Shock Delivered,”
