ZOLL AED 3 Operator’s Manual 5
• Disconnect non-defibrillation protected electronic devices or
equipment from victim before defibrillation.
• Dry victim’s chest, if wet, before attaching defibrillation pads.
• Apply freshly opened and undamaged defibrillation pads (within the
defibrillation pads expiration date) to clean and dry skin to minimize
burning.
• DO NOT place the defibrillation pads directly over a victim’s
implanted pacemaker. Pacemaker stimuli may degrade the
accuracy of ECG rhythm analyses, or the pacemaker may be
damaged by defibrillator discharges.
• The ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator does not reject implanted pacemaker
pulses.
• DO NOT disassemble a battery pack or dispose of it in fire. DO NOT
try to recharge the nonrechargeable battery pack. If mishandled,
the battery pack may explode.
• DO NOT use or stack the ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator with other
equipment. If the defibrillator must be used or stacked with other
equipment, verify proper operation prior to use.
• DO NOT connect the ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator to a computer or other
device (using the USB port) while the defibrillation pads are still
connected to the victim.
• Check the expiration date on the defibrillation pads packaging. DO
NOT use defibrillation pads that have passed their expiration date.
• The use of accessories and cables other than those specified in the
ZOLL AED 3 Administrator’s Guide may result in increased
emissions or decreased immunity of the ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator.
