1.7 Safety facilities
Make sure that the staff have read and understood the operating instructions, in
particular this section Safety Notes.
Only operate the device in accordance with the specified technical data (see
section 14 Technical Data, page 107). Non-compliance with the specified
technical data may result in injury, inaccurate information and/or damage to the
unit.
The device is CF classified. It is defibrillation protected only when the Seca
original patient cable is used. However, as a safety precaution, remove the
electrodes before defibrillation, if possible.
Do not touch the unit during defibrillation.
To ensure patient safety, none of the electrodes, including the neutral electrode,
nor the patient or any person with simultaneous patient contact, must come in
contact with conductive parts, even when these are earthed.
Immediately report any changes that impair safety (including operating
behaviour) to the responsible person.
Do not place any liquids on the unit. If liquid is spilled on the device, immediately
disconnect the device from the mains and wipe it. The device must be checked
before reusing.
Only connect the original seca patient cable to the patient socket.
If the patient cable should become defective after defibrillation, an electrode
becomes displaced, or an electrode resistance is too high, a lead-off indication is
displayed in the upper right part of the screen.
Only use accessories and disposables recommended or supplied by seca. Use
of other than recommended or supplied parts may result in injury, inaccurate
information and/or damage to the unit.
To prevent pacemaker malfunction, a distance of at least 20 cm must be
observed between the device and the pacemaker as soon as the Wi-Fi (wireless
LAN) module is switched on.
Should unexpected results be provided, the user must verify the connections
according to section 12.1 Maintenance interval table, page 95 .
Operating the device without the correctly rated fuse or with defective cables
constitutes a danger to life! Therefore:
– Do not operate the unit if the earth connection is suspect or if the mains lead,
the power supply unit or the device is damaged or suspected of being damaged.
– Damaged cable connections and connectors must be replaced immediately.
– Electrical safety devices, such as fuses, must not be modified.
– Fuses must only be replaced with the same type and rating as the original.
