DAC-530E-EN-BH
WARNING
In patients with cardiac pacemakers, the DDU-120 AED may have reduced
sensitivity and not detect all shockable rhythms. If you know the patient has an
implanted pacemaker, do not place electrodes directly over an implanted device.
2.2.4 Shock Delivery
WARNING
Do not allow defibrillation pads to touch each other, or to touch other ECG
electrodes, lead wires, dressings, transdermal patches, etc. Such contact
can cause electrical arcing and patient skin burns during defibrillation and may
divert defibrillating energy away from the heart.
WARNING
During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and defibrillation pads can
cause patient skin burns. To help prevent air pockets, make sure self-adhesive
defibrillation pads completely adhere to the skin. Do not use dried out or
expired defibrillation pads.
2.2.5 Maintenance
WARNING
Periodic user-initiated and automatic self-tests are designed to assess the
DDU-120 AED’s readiness for use. However, no degree of testing can assure
performance or detect abuse, damage, or a defect that occurred after the most
recent test is completed.
WARNING
Use of damaged equipment or accessories may cause the device to perform
improperly and/or result in injury to the patient or operator.
CAUTION
Improper maintenance can cause the DDU-120 AED not to function. Maintain
the DDU-120 AED only as described in this User Manual. The AED contains
no user serviceable parts – do not take the unit apart.
WARNING
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
