17. Press on paddles with a contact pressure of about 8 kg to keep
resistance to the patient low.
18. Again, check the ECG curve and that the triangles match
the R waves before shock delivery.
Risk of injury due to paddles having an inadequate contact
pressure!
Too low a contact pressure of the paddles leads to a high
resistance against the patient and may prevent shock delivery (at
a resistance > 400 Ω). This may injure the patient.
Always press paddles on with a contact pressure of about 8 kg.
Risk of injury due to movement artifacts!
Movement artifacts erroneously detected as R waves may cause
the device to deliver a shock at the wrong time and thus injure the
patient.
Hold the paddles still after pressing them on.
Again, check the ECG curve and that the triangles match
the R waves before shock delivery.
Risk of injury from electric shock!
The electric shock administered to the patient may injure the user
or bystanders.
Stand clear of the patient.
Keep patient away from liquids (e.g. blood, gel or saline
solution).
Do not touch parts in contact with the patient (e.g. bed frames
or stretchers).
Keep your distance from liquids in contact with the patient.
Clearly warn bystanders to stand clear of the patient or parts in
contact with the patient and to keep their distance from liquids
in contact with the patient.
