Warning!

▲ Use the AED Plus ® unit only as described in this manual. Improper use of the device can cause death or injury.

▲ DO NOT use or place the AED Plus unit in service until you have read the AED

Plus Operator’s and Administrator’s Guides.

▲ DO NOT use or place the AED Plus unit in service if the unit’s status indicator window (located on the left side of the handle) displays a red “X”.

▲ DO NOT use or place the AED Plus unit in service if the unit emits a beeping tone.

▲ Connect the electrode cable to the AED Plus unit after installing batteries.

▲ Keep the electrode cable connected to the AED Plus unit at all times.

▲ This device should only be used by properly trained individuals.

▲ Only use electrodes labeled “Infant/Child” on children less than 8 years old or weighing less than 55 lbs (25 kg). Use CPR-D•padz ® if patient is older than 8 years or weighs more than 55 lbs (25 kg).

▲ Always stand clear of patient when delivering treatment. Defibrillation energy delivered to the patient may be conducted through the patient’s body and cause a lethal shock to those touching the patient.

▲ DO NOT touch the electrode surfaces, the patient, or any conductive material touching the patient during ECG analysis or defibrillation.

▲ Move patient away from electrically conductive surfaces prior to use of equipment.

▲ DO NOT use the unit near or within puddles of water.

▲ Keep the patient as motionless as possible during ECG analysis.

▲ DO NOT use the unit near flammable agents, such as gasoline, oxygen-rich atmospheres, or flammable anesthetics.

▲ Avoid radio frequency interference from high-power sources that might cause the defibrillator to interpret cardiac rhythms incorrectly by turning off cell phones and

2-way radios.

▲ Disconnect non-defibrillation protected electronic devices or equipment from patient before defibrillation.

▲ Dry victim’s chest, if wet, before attaching electrodes.

▲ Apply freshly opened and undamaged electrodes, within the electrode expiration date, to clean and dry skin to minimize burning.

▲ DO NOT place electrodes directly over the patient’s implanted pacemaker.

Pacemaker stimuli may degrade the accuracy of ECG rhythm analyses or the pacemaker may be damaged by defibrillator discharges.

▲ Check labeling inside the ZOLL ® AED Plus cover before using the cover as a

Passive Airway Support System (PASS) device to ensure it is intended for this use.

▲ DO NOT use the Passive Airway Support System (PASS) if there is a suspected head or neck injury. Place the patient on a firm surface before performing CPR.

▲ DO NOT recharge, disassemble, or dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode if mistreated.

▲ DO NOT use or stack the AED Plus unit with other equipment. If the unit is used or stacked with other equipment, verify proper operation prior to use.

Caution!

▲ DO NOT disassemble the unit. A shock hazard exists. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

▲ Use only commercially available type 123A lithium manganese dioxide batteries.

Discard batteries properly after removal from unit. Use only batteries from recommended manufacturers. See the AED Plus Administrator’s Guide (P/N

9650-0301-01) for a list of recommended battery manufacturers.

▲ If the device is stored outside the recommended environmental conditions, the electrode pads and/or batteries may be damaged or their useful life reduced.

▲ The CPR-D•padz Electrode can be connected to other ZOLL defibrillators with

Multifunction Cables. Defibrillation can be administered when connected to other

ZOLL defibrillators.The CPR function does not operate with any device other than the AED Plus defibrillator.

LACK OF CIRCULATION indicated by:

■ Unconsciousness and

■ Absence of normal breathing and

■ Absence of a pulse or signs of circulation.

When a victim is less than 8 years of age, or weighs less than 55 lbs

(25 kg), the ZOLL AED Plus should be used with ZOLL AED Plus

Pediatric Electrodes. Therapy should not be delayed to determine the patient’s exact age or weight.

INTENDED USER

The ZOLL AED Plus external defibrillator is intended to be used by personnel who are qualified by training in the use of the AED Plus device and basic life support, advanced life support, or other physicianauthorized emergency medical response to defibrillate victims of cardiac arrest. The CPR monitoring function provides a metronome designed to encourage rescuers to perform chest compressions at the AHA recommended rate of 100 compressions per minute. Voice and visual prompts encourage a minimum compression depth of 2 inches for adult patients. The CPR monitoring function is not intended for use on patients under 8 years of age.
