2.2.2 Pads

WARNING
Use only Defibtech disposable self-adhesive defibrillation/monitoring pads,
battery packs, and other accessories supplied by Defibtech or its authorized
distributors. Substitution of non-Defibtech approved accessories may cause
the device to perform improperly.

CAUTION
Follow all defibrillation pad label instructions. Use defibrillation pads prior to
their expiration date. Do not re-use defibrillation pads. Discard defibrillation
pads after use (in the event of suspected pad malfunction, return pads to
Defibtech for testing).

WARNING
The defibrillation pads are intended for one time use only and must be
discarded after use. Reuse can lead to potential cross infection, improper
performance of the device, inadequate delivery of therapy and/or injury to the
patient or operator.
2.2.3 Patient Analysis

WARNING
Aggressive or prolonged CPR to a patient with defibrillation pads attached can
cause damage to the pads. Replace the defibrillation pads if they become
damaged during use.

WARNING
CPR during analysis can cause incorrect or delayed diagnosis by the patient
analysis system.

WARNING
Do not place adult defibrillation pads in the anterior-posterior (front-back)
position. A shock or no shock decision may be inappropriately advised. The
DDU-100 AED requires that the adult defibrillation pads be placed in the
anterior-anterior (front-front) position.

WARNING
Some very low amplitude or low frequency rhythms may not be interpreted
as shockable VF rhythms. Also some VT rhythms may not be interpreted as
shockable rhythms.

WARNING
Handling or transporting the patient during ECG analysis can cause incorrect or
delayed diagnosis, especially if very low amplitude or low frequency rhythms
are present. During analysis and from “Shock Advised” until “Shock Delivered,”
patient movement and vibration must be minimized.
