ACCESSORIES NOR ANY METALLIC OR CONDUCTIVE SURFACE WHICH IS
IN CONTACT WITH THE PATIENT DURING THE DEFIBRILLATION.
ATTENTION: ADHESIVE PADS SHOULD NOT BE POSITIONED ON THE
PATIENT WHILE ISIS IS CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRICAL NETWORK,
THROUGH ITS EXTERNAL AC/DC SOURCE. IN THE SAME WAY, IT MUST
NOT BE CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRICAL NETWORK, THROUGH ITS
EXTERNAL AC/DC SOURCE, WHILE ADHESIVE PADS ARE POSITIONED ON
THE PATIENT.
WARNING: THE PATIENT MUST BE COMPLETELY STILL DURING THE
CARDIAC RHYTHM ANALYSIS PHASE. DO NOT GIVE CARDIAC MASSAGE AT
THIS POINT.

Adverse effects
Superficial burns may occur to the patient’s skin on the area in contact with the
electrodes. To minimize this effect, apply the pads soon after removing their
protective envelope and press them firmly to the patient’s skin.
The skin should be dry, or electrical current leakage may happen, enlarging burn
area and reducing treatment efficiency.
