Only use the device on a patient if
• You have ensured its operational safety before using it
and that it is in good condition.
• the state of the patient requires or allows an application.
Before using the device, ensure that the temperature is within the
operating temperature range. This applies for example, if the
defibrillator is stored in a rescue vehicle.
Do not apply the device if it has been damaged or is defective (e.g. if
the defibrillator cable is damaged or the housing has been damaged)
Do not touch the patient during defibrillation. Avoid any contact
between
• parts of the patient's body (such as bare skin on head or
legs), as well as
• conductible liquids (such as gel, blood or salt solutions)
and
• metal objects around the patient (such as the bedframe
or traction devices)
which present unintended paths for the defibrillation current!
Although the DefiMonitor XD and its original accessories are
defibrillation-protected, we recommend that you do not touch them
while defibrillation is being carried out with another device.
Do not use the device on a patient unless you have ensured its
operational safety before using it and that it is in good condition!
Observe the patient during the entire period of treatment and
regularly monitor display on equipment so as to recognise changes in
patient's condition in a timely manner and to take appropriate
counter-measures.
Before using the device, ensure that the temperature is within the
operating temperature range. This is important, for example, when
the device is stored in an emergency services vehicle in winter.
Do not use the device if it is defective (e. g. if the defibrillation cable is
damaged).
Only use the device with accessories, wearing parts and disposable
items which have proven to be completely safe to use by being tested
