Safety Considerations
9650-0350-01 Rev. J ZOLL AED Pro Operator’s Guide vii
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.

PREFACE
viii www.zoll.com 9650-0350-01 Rev. J
Do not use or place the unit in service if the Ready indicator (at the upper right of the front
panel) shows a red “X”.
Defibrillation
Emergency defibrillation should be performed only by appropriately trained, skilled personnel
who are familiar with the operation of the equipment. The prescribing physician should
determine what training, such as Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) or Basic Life Support
(BLS) certification, is appropriate for operating this device.
ECG analysis
A patient must be motionless during ECG analysis. Do not touch the patient during analysis.
Cease all patient movement by stretcher or vehicle before beginning ECG analysis in
semiautomatic mode.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
Before performing CPR, place the patient on a firm surface.
Battery care
Keep a fully charged spare battery pack with the device at all times.
When the unit displays the message CHANGE BATTERY, immediately replace the battery pack
with a fully charged one.
Regular use of a partially charged battery pack without fully recharging it between uses might
permanently reduce the battery’s capacity and result in early failure.
Regularly test rechargeable battery packs. A rechargeable battery pack that does not pass its test
could fail without warning.
Do not disassemble a battery pack or dispose of it in fire. Do not try to recharge a
nonrechargeable battery pack. If mistreated, a battery pack might explode.
Dispose of battery packs in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Battery packs
should be shipped to a reclamation facility for recovery of metal and plastic compounds as the
proper method of waste management.
Operator Safety
Do not use the unit near oxygen-rich atmospheres, flammable anesthetics, or other flammable
agents (such as gasoline).
Do not use the unit within standing water.
Before discharging the defibrillator, warn everyone to stand clear of the patient.
Do not discharge the defibrillator except as indicated in the instructions. Discharge the
defibrillator only when defibrillation pads are properly attached to the patient. Never discharge
the unit with the defibrillation pads shorted together or in open air.
