Safety Considerations
All operators should review these safety considerations before placing the AED Pro unit into
service.
These operating instructions describe the functions and proper operation of the AED Pro unit.
This manual does not substitute for a formal training course. Operators must obtain formal
training from an appropriate authority before using this device for patient care.
Follow all recommended maintenance instructions. If a problem occurs, obtain service
immediately. Do not use the device until it has been inspected by appropriate personnel.
Do not disassemble the unit. A shock hazard exists. Refer all problems to authorized service
personnel.
The AED Pro unit is capable of delivering 200 joules. To completely deactivate the unit, turn it
off and remove the battery pack.
To manually disarm a charged (or charging) defibrillator, do one of the following:
• Turn the unit off for at least 3 seconds.
• Press the DISARM softkey (manual mode only).
For safety, the AED Pro unit automatically disarms a fully charged defibrillator after
60 seconds in manual mode or 30 seconds in semiautomatic mode if the Shock button is not
pressed.
General
Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this device to use by or on the order of a physician.
Proper operation of the unit and correct electrode placement are critical to obtaining optimal
results. Operators must be thoroughly familiar with proper device operation.
The use of external defibrillation electrodes or adapter devices from sources other than ZOLL
is not recommended. ZOLL Medical Corporation makes no representations or warranties
regarding the performance or effectiveness of its products when used with defibrillation
electrodes or adapter devices from other sources. Device failures attributable to the use of
defibrillation electrodes or adapters not manufactured by ZOLL might void the warranty on the
ZOLL equipment.
This device is protected against interference from radio frequency emissions typical of the
two-way radios and cellular phones (digital and analog) used in emergency service or public
safety activities. You should assess the device’s performance in your typical operating
environment to determine the likelihood of radio frequency interference (RFI) from high-power
sources. Radio frequency interference can cause shifts in the monitor baseline, trace
compression, changes to brightness of the display, or transient spikes on the screen.
The AED Pro unit might not perform to specifications when stored at the upper or lower
extreme limits of storage temperature and then immediately put into use.
Do not use or stack the unit with other equipment. If the unit is used or stacked with other
electrical equipment, verify proper operation before using it.
Do not use or place the unit in service if it beeps while turned off.
The use of accessories or cables other than those specified in this manual may result in
increased emissions or decreased immunity of the AED Pro.
