Can I Use It On Wet Or Metal Surfaces; Can I Travel With It - Philips HeartStart Home Owner's Manual

Can I use it on wet or metal surfaces?

Yes. It is safe to use the HeartStart on
someone lying on a wet surface. It is also
safe to use it on someone lying on a metal
surface. As always, no one should touch the
person when the Shock button is pressed.
Naturally, the user should get the victim
out of standing water, such as a pool or
bathtub, before applying the HeartStart. It
is important to dry the chest completely, so
the pads will stick well to the skin.

Can I travel with it?

Yes. The HeartStart is designed to be easily
28
portable. Just remember that if you take it
along when you travel, you should keep it
where it can stay within its temperature
range (see page 8). When you get back, put
the HeartStart in its normal place, so
everyone will know where to find it in an
emergency.
There may be rules against taking a
defibrillator into some countries. Before
you leave, find out if there are restrictions.
Also, you may want to check with the
airlines before boarding the aircraft with
scissors in the case.
