Electrical Energy

The AED7000 can deliver 200 joules of electrical energy
Disconnect any medical electronic device that is not labeled "defibrillation protected"
from the patient. If this electrical energy is not discharged properly, it could cause perso-
nal injury or death to the operator or bystander. During defibrillation, the operator and all
other people must stand clear of the patient, bed and all conductive surfaces in contact
with the patient.
Properly place defibrillation pads
Do not place electrodes near the generator of an internal pacemaker. Always apply
electrodes to flat areas of skin. Avoid application over folds of skin such as those underne-
ath the breast or on obese patients. Excessive hair, poor adhesion, or air under electrode
may produce burns.
2.3.5 ECG Misinterpretation
Properly place defibrillation pads
Improperly placed pads may produce incorrect analysis and an inappropriate shock or no
shock advisory decision.
Do not move patient
Handling or transporting the patient during ECG analysis can cause incorrect or delayed
diagnosis. Follow all instructions in the Users Manual.
Cardiac pacemakers may affect rhythm analysis
Patient pacemakers may reduce the sensitivity of the AED7000 analysis and errors in
detecting shockable rhythms.
Radio frequency (RF) interference
Do not operate the AED7000 in conjunction with electro-cautery or diathermy equi-
pment. Any equipment that emits strong radio frequency signals can cause electrical
interference and distort the ECG signal to cause inaccurate interpretation of rhythm.
