2026116-001 Revision B Responder™ 2000 Page 14
WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
WARNING: When the patient is a child under 8 years of age or weighs less than 55 lbs (25kg), the Responder 2000
should be used with pediatric defibrillation pads. Therapy should not be delayed to determine the patient’s exact age or
weight. The Responder 2000 does not select the energy or shock sequences based on the defibrillation pads connection.
WARNING: Use demand mode pacing whenever possible. Use fixed mode pacing when motion artifact or other ECG
noise makes R-wave detection unreliable or when ECG monitoring electrodes are not available.
WARNING: Do not rely solely on SpO
2
readings; assess the patient at all times. Inaccurate measurements can be caused
by:
• Incorrect sensor application or use.
• Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins (such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin)
• Injected dyes such as methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobins such as methemoglobin or
carboxyhemoglobin
• Exposure to excessive illumination such a surgical lamps (especially those with a xenon light source), bilirubin lamps,
fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, or direct sunlight.)
WARNING: Failure on the part of all responsible individuals, hospitals, or institutions, employing the use of Responder
2000, to implement the recommended maintenance schedule may cause equipment failure and possible health hazards.
The manufacturer does not, in any manner, assumes the responsibility for performing the recommended maintenance
schedule. The sole responsibility rests with the individuals, hospitals, or institutions utilizing the Responder 2000.
WARNING: After the visual inspection, if the Responder 2000 and/or its accessories are damaged please contact
Customer Service. The Responder 2000 will need to be returned for repair. The accessories should be disposed of
appropriately and replacement parts shall be ordered.
WARNING: Cleaning liquids: DO NOT submerge the device in liquids or pour cleaning liquids over, into or onto the
device.
WARNING: Do not trigger more than five (5) consecutive test discharges (or internal safety discharges) within thirty (30)
minutes.
WARNING: Do not disassemble the Responder 2000! Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or
death. Refer maintenance issues to authorized service personnel.
WARNING:
Electrode performance may be adversely affected by pre-attaching, storing with defibrillator cable, or
exposure to air for long periods of time. These electrodes are not recommended for electrosurgery.
WARNING: Defibrillating a patient with normal heart rhythm may induce ventricular fibrillation.
WARNING:
Position the patient flat on a hard surface where he/she is electrically insulated. The patient must not be
allowed to come into contact with metal parts, e.g., bed or liner, to prevent unwanted pathways for the defibrillation current
which may endanger the assistants. For the same reason, do not position the patient on wet ground (rain, accident in
swimming pool).
WARNING:
The patient’s chest must be dry, because moisture can cause unwanted pathways for the defibrillation
current.
