• When not in use, cover the patient cable's V-lead connector with the supplied plastic
cap. Failure to do so may result in a shock hazard during defibrillation attempts.
• To assure protection against the effects of defibrillator discharge, use only 12-lead
cables supplied by ZOLL Medical Corporation.
• Check the operation and integrity of the Propaq MD unit and 12-lead cable regularly
by performing the Daily Operational Verification Test.
• When attempting to interpret subtle ECG changes (such as ST segments) use only the
Diagnostic frequency response setting. Other frequency response settings may cause
misinterpretation of the patient’s ECG.
• Use only ZOLL-approved accessories to ensure the Type CF defibrillator proof rating
of the 12-Lead input.
• Implanted pacemakers may cause the heart rate meter to count the pacemaker rate
during incidents of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmias. Carefully observe pacemaker
patients. Check the patient's pulse; do not rely solely on heart rate meters. Dedicated
pacemaker detection circuitry may not detect all implanted pacemaker spikes. Patient
history and physical exam are important in determining the presence of an implanted
pacemaker.
