Safety Considerations

The following general warnings and cautions apply to use of the HeartStart
XLT. Additional warning and cautions specific to a particular feature are pro-
vided in the appropriate section.
The HeartStart XLT is not intended to be deployed in settings or situations that pro-
mote use by untrained personnel. Operation by untrained personnel can result in
injury or death.
Remain attentive to the patient during the delivery of therapy. Delay in delivering a
shock may result in a rhythm that was analyzed as shockable converting spontane-
ously to non-shockable and could result in inappropriate delivery of a shock.
Use only the multifunction defib electrode pads, battery, and accessories listed in
"Supplies & Accessories" on page 11-18. Substitutions may cause the HeartStart
XLT to function improperly.
Use multifunction defib electrode pads prior to their expiration date. Discard pads
after use. Do not reuse pads.
In AED Mode, the multifunction defib electrode pads must be in the anterior-anterior
position as shown on the packaging. The HeartStart XLT was not designed to assess
data acquired from pads in an anterior-posterior position.
