3-2 LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator Operating Instructions
How to Use the LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator
MODES OF OPERATION
You can use the LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator for:
Automated external defibrillation (AED mode)
Manual defibrillation therapy (Manual mode) (Requires ECG display option)
ECG monitoring (ECG mode) (Requires ECG display option)
Defibrillation Warnings and Cautions
WARNINGS!
Shock hazard.
The defibrillator delivers up to 360 J of electrical energy. When discharging the defibrillator, do
not touch the disposable therapy electrodes.
Shock hazard.
If a person is touching the patient, bed, or any conductive material in contact with the patient
during defibrillation, the delivered energy may be partially discharged through that person. Clear
everyone away from contact with the patient, bed, and other conductive material before
discharging the defibrillator.
Possible skin burns.
During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and therapy electrodes may cause patient
skin burns. Apply therapy electrodes so that entire electrode adheres to skin. Do not reposition
the electrodes once applied. If the position must be changed, remove and replace with new
electrodes.
Possible skin burns and ineffective energy delivery.
Therapy electrodes that are dried out or damaged may cause electrical arcing and patient skin
burns during defibrillation. Do not use therapy electrodes that have been removed from foil
package for more than 24 hours. Do not use electrodes beyond expiration date. Check that
electrode adhesive is intact and undamaged. Replace therapy electrodes after 50 shocks.
Possible interference with implanted electrical device.
Defibrillation may cause implanted devices to malfunction. Place therapy electrodes away from
implanted devices if possible. Check implanted device function after defibrillation, if possible.
Possible misinterpretation of data.
Do not analyze in a moving vehicle. Motion artifact may affect the ECG signal resulting in an
inappropriate shock or no shock advised message. Motion detection may delay analysis. Stop
vehicle and stand clear of patient during analysis.
Possible misinterpretation of data.
Do not move the AED during analysis. Moving the AED during analysis may affect the ECG
signal resulting in an inappropriate shock or no shock advised decision. Do not touch the
patient or the AED during analysis.
CAUTION!
Possible equipment damage.
Before using this defibrillator, disconnect all equipment that is not defibrillator-protected from
the patient.
