To prepare for an emergency, keep the defibrillation electrode cable connected to the unit at all
times, even when the unit is not in use.
Use only high-quality ECG electrodes. ECG electrodes are for monitoring only; you cannot use
ECG electrodes for defibrillation.
Implanted pacemakers
Do not place electrodes directly over an implanted pacemaker. Implanted pacemakers might
cause the heart rate meter or ECG rhythm analysis to count the pacemaker rate during incidents
of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmia. Carefully observe pacemaker patients. Check the patient’s
pulse; do not rely solely on heart rate meters. Patient history and physical examination are
important factors in determining the presence of an implanted pacemaker.
Cautions
Do not sterilize the device or the ECG monitoring cable.
Do not immerse any part of the device into water.
Do not use ketones (such as MEK or acetone) on the device.
Avoid using abrasives (including paper towels) on the display screen and IrDA port.
Restarting the Device
Certain events require a restart of the AED Pro unit after it shuts off, encounters an error, or
becomes inoperative. If such an event occurs, always try to restore device operation as follows
before seeking alternative methods of patient monitoring or treatment:
1. Press and hold the On/Off button for 1 second to turn the unit off.
2. After the unit has shut down, wait at least 3 seconds.
3. Press and release the On/Off button to restart the unit.
