ELECTRODE CARE AND STORAGE
To help prevent therapy electrode damage:
• Only open the electrode package immediately prior to use.
• Slowly peel back the protective liner on the electrodes, beginning with the cable connection
end.
• Do not trim therapy electrodes.
• Do not crush, fold, or store the electrodes under heavy objects.
• Store therapy electrodes in a location where temperatures are between 15° and 35°C
(59° and 95°F). Continuous exposure to the higher temperatures within this range will shorten
the life of the electrodes.
SERVICE
If the LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator requires service as indicated by testing, troubleshooting, or the
service symbol, contact authorized service personnel. In the USA, call
1.800.442.1142. Outside
the USA, contact your local Physio-Control representative. When you call Physio-Control to
request service, provide the following information:
• Model number and part number
• Serial number
• Observation of the problem that led to the call
If the defibrillator must be shipped to a service center or to the factory, pack it in the original
shipping container. If this is not possible, ship the defibrillator in protective packing to prevent
shipping damage.
Possible loss of power and delay of therapy during patient care.
• Using an improperly maintained battery to power a defibrillator may cause power failure
without warning. Follow these instructions for proper care of the battery.
• Stored batteries lose charge. Failure to charge a stored rechargeable battery before use may
cause device power failure without warning. Always charge a stored rechargeable battery
before placing it in active use.
CAUTIONS!
Possible battery damage.
• Electrical connection between battery contacts can permanently disable the battery.
• Charging batteries outside the specified temperature range may cause improper charging
and shorten battery life.
WARNING!
Shock hazard.
Do not disassemble the defibrillator. It contains no responder-serviceable components and
dangerous high voltages may be present. Contact authorized service personnel.
