Safety alert descriptions
The following is a list of Powerheart® G3 AED safety alerts that
appear in this section and throughout this manual.
Read and understand these safety alerts before operating the AED.
Caution: Read this Operator and Service Manual carefully.
It contains information about your safety and the safety of others.
Become familiar with the controls and how to use the AED
properly before operating the product.
DANGER! Fire and Explosion Hazard
This alert identies hazards that may cause serious personal
injury or death.
• In the presence of ammable gases
• In the presence of concentrated oxygen
• In a hyperbaric chamber
WARNING! Shock Hazard and Possible Equipment Damage
Debrillation shock current owing through unwanted pathways
is potentially a serious electrical shock hazard. To avoid this
hazard during debrillation abide by all of the following:
• Do not use in standing water or rain. Move patient to dry area.
• Do not touch the patient, unless performance of CPR is
indicated.
• Do not touch metal objects in contact with the patient.
• Keep debrillation pads clear of other pads or metal parts in
contact with patient.
• Disconnect all non-debrillator proof equipment from the
patient before debrillation.
WARNING! Battery is Not Rechargeable
Do not attempt to recharge the battery. Any attempt to recharge
the battery may result in an explosion or re hazard.
WARNING! Do not reuse pads.
Used pads may not adhere properly to the patient. Improper pad
adhesion may result in skin burns. Improper pad adhesion may
result in improper AED performance. Used pads may cause
patient-to-patient contamination.

WARNING! Reduced therapy delivery.
Failure to remove blue liner completely could impact therapy delivery.
Caution. Short-term use only. Not for pacing.
DO NOT open debrillation pads package until ready to use.
Short term use only.
Pads are not intended for use in pacing.
Caution. Equipment Damage.
Do not pull on the lead wire to separate the pads from the blue liner.
Note: Store pads at room temperature.
Note: Pads are intended for adult use.
WARNING! Equipment not functioning.
If the AED stops functioning during a rescue, continue to perform
CPR as needed until EMS personnel arrive.
WARNING! Possible Radio Frequency (RF) Susceptibility
Do not use the AED in locations where large electromagnetic or
RF elds can be expected to occur.
Refer to Chapter 1: Electromagnetic Emissions Standards Compliance
for additional information.
WARNING! Possible Interference with Implanted Pacemaker
Therapy should not be delayed for patients with implanted pace-
makers and a debrillation attempt should be made if the patient
is unconscious and not breathing. The AED has pacemaker de-
tection and rejection. However, with some pacemakers the AED
may not advise a debrillation shock. (Cummins, R., ed., Advanced
Cardiac Life Support; AHA (1994): Ch. 4)
When placing pads:
• Do not place the pads directly over an implanted device.
• Place the pad at least one inch from any implanted device.
WARNING! Electromagnetic Compatibility
Use of accessories or cables other than those specied, with the
exception of accessories and cables sold by Cardiac Science
Corporation as replacement parts for internal components, may
result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the AED.

deform, or expose to temperatures above 149°F (65°C). Remove
the battery when discharged.
Caution: Battery Disposal
Recycle or dispose of the lithium battery in accordance with all
federal, state and local laws. To avoid re and explosion hazard,
do not burn or incinerate the battery.
Caution: Use only Cardiac Science Approved Equipment
Using batteries, pads, cables, or optional equipment other than
those approved by Cardiac Science may cause the AED to
function improperly during a rescue.
Caution: Possible Improper AED Performance

If the serial communication cable is connected to the AED
communication port during a rescue, the device will prompt
“Remove Cable to Continue Rescue” until the cable is removed
from the port.
Caution: Moving the Patient During a Rescue
During a rescue attempt, excessive jostling or moving of the
patient may cause AEDs to improperly analyze the patient’s
cardiac rhythm. Stop all motion or vibration before attempting a
rescue.
