safety levels possible burns and ineffective energy
WARNING Do not allow the defibrillator pads to touch each other or other ECG electrodes, lead
wires, dressings, transdermal patches, etc. Such contact can cause electrical arcing and
patient skin burns during defibrillation and may also divert the defibrillation current
away from the heart.
WARNING During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and defibrillator pads can cause
patient skin burns. To help prevent air pockets, make sure defibrillator pads
completely adhere to the skin. Do not use dried out pads.
