The electrodes are intended for short term use (<8 hours) and must be used before the expiration date listed on the packaging.

The user assesses the patient s condition and confirms that the patient is unconscious, pulseless and is not breathing prior to applying the electrodes to the skin.

Reason

Defibrillation electrodes may increase electrical impedance over time. If impedance becomes too high, the AED will fail the electrode self-test and it will not be Rescue Ready, the AED STATUS INDICATOR will be RED and the AED will beep. This is normal behavior when the impedance limit is exceeded. The high impedance electrodes require replacement.
