IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND REMINDERS
Do not allow the pads to contact other electrodes or metal parts that
are in contact with the patient.
Before delivering a shock, it is important to disconnect the patient from
other medical electrical equipment, such as blood-flow meters, that may
not incorporate defibrillation protections. In addition, make sure the pads
are not in contact with metal objects such as a bedframe or stretcher.
Check supplies, accessories, packaging, and spares for damage and
expiration dating.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The OnSite contains electronic components. Dispose of it at an
appropriate recycling facility.
The battery cells contain chemicals. Recycle the battery at an appropriate
recycling facility.
The used pads may be contaminated. Cut them off and dispose of them
properly. Recycle the remaining cartridge components at an appropriate

SHOCK CYCLE TIMING
The OnSite’s Quick Shock feature allows it to deliver a shock within 8 seconds,
typical, following the prompt ending a CPR Interval. From shock to shock, the
OnSite takes <20 seconds, typical, including analysis. After 15 shocks, the OnSite
takes <30 seconds from analyzing to ready-to-shock. After 200 shocks, the OnSite
takes <40 seconds from initial power-on to ready-to-shock.
