Defibrillator
• Make sure that both electrode surfaces of the shock paddles are completely wetted with gel.
• The shock paddles must be kept away from other electrodes and/or metal components which are
in contact with the patient.
• Do not touch the patient during defibrillation.
• Make sure that body parts of the patient, such as uncovered skin on the head or extremities, do
not touch any metal components, bed frames or a stretcher to avoid creating any unintended
current paths for the defibrillation pulse.
• During defibrillation with the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable connected, make sure that all
electrodes are attached to the patient.
• During defibrillation with self-adhesive corPatch electrodes (neonates) energy values higher
than 100 Joules are prevented by coding of the electrodes.
• In patients with an implanted pacer, detection of shockable rhythms or arrhythmias by the semi-
automatic defibrillator in AED mode may be limited.
• The shock paddles and their handles must be cleaned thoroughly after each use.
• Defibrillation with other devices is allowed, if the following security measures are taken:
All electrodes of the 4 pole ECG monitoring cable and the complementary 6 pole ECG diagnostic
cable connected to the corpuls
3
have to be attached to the patient; unused electrode must not
lie around (see also chapter 5.3.3 Defibrillation in AED Mode with Shock Paddles, p. 71 and
chapter 5.4.3 Manual Defibrillation and Cardioversion with Shock Paddles, page 77). In case of
shock release these represent a hazard to the user or other persons.
Pacer
• The pacer must not be operated near high frequency surgical devices or microwave therapy
devices.
ECG monitor
• Conductive parts of the ECG electrodes, cables and the plug devices connected to them should
not touch any conductive parts including the ground.
• Note the possible risk to the patient during use of several devices from the accumulation of
leakage currents.
• To achieve as short a recovery time as possible of the ECG after defibrillation, we recommend
the disposable ECG electrodes which are itemised in the list of accessories (see chapter 9.8
Approved Accessories, Spare Parts and Consumables, p. 224). GS Elektromedizinische Geräte
G. Stemple GmbH cannot undertake any guarantee in this respect for other disposable ECG
electrodes.
• If no electrical connection exists between the patient and an electrode of the ECG monitoring
cable and/or complementary ECG diagnostic cable,the corpuls
3
will issue the alarm message
ECG ELECTRODE LOOSE. If the connection to the black electrode of the 4-pole ECG
monitoring cable is cut off, under certain circumstances no alarm may be given.
• A nerve stimulator – e.g. a brain pacer – can modify the ECG on the screen and printer, or even
completely suppress it.
•
Simultaneous use of the ECG monitor with high frequency surgical devices may result in signal

pulse oximeter
• This user manual, the warnings and safety information, the operating instructions for the
accessories and all preventive information and specifications must be read before use.
• The oximeter must not be used as an apnoea monitor (not authorised for monitoring patients
who suffer from sudden respiratory arrest, e.g. during sleep).
• The oximeter should constitute an early warning system. If the trend is towards an insufficient
oxygen supply to the patient, blood samples should be analysed by a blood gas analysis device
to determine the patient’s factual condition.
