Managing and Maintaining Your CellAED® and CellAED TRAINER™
Shutting Down Your CellAED® Personal Defibrillator
After using the CellAED®, it's necessary to deactivate the device to stop voice instructions. To do this, adhere the two gel pads together for at least 5 seconds. You may hear continued instructions for a few minutes before the final deactivation command:
CellAED Sound: "Device deactivated."
After this, the CellAED® will not be operational again.
Deactivating Vs. Resetting Your CellAED TRAINER™
Deactivating the CellAED® is different from resetting the CellAED TRAINER™. Practice the deactivation step with the reusable TRAINER™ pads.
Resetting the CellAED TRAINER™
After a training session:
- Gently separate the two halves of the TRAINER™.
- Press the button to retract the ribbon cable.
- Realign the edges and replace the protective liner.
Maintaining Adhesiveness of TRAINER™ Pads
To maintain the pads:
- Clean with a soft cloth and soapy water when they lose stickiness.
- Allow them to dry completely before reattaching.
- Align arrows on pads with the TRAINER™ enclosure.
Distinguishing Between Your CellAED® and CellAED TRAINER™
It's vital to recognise the differences between the two devices:
- The CellAED® is single-use and stored in a protective case for emergencies.
- The CellAED TRAINER™ has reusable pads and can be reset.
Training and Confidence
Regular practice with the CellAED TRAINER™ is essential for confidence in emergency situations. Remember the learn-practise-repeat cycle for effective training.
Conclusion
Understanding how to manage both your CellAED® personal defibrillator and CellAED TRAINER™ is crucial for preparedness in sudden cardiac arrest situations.
