The SVL-9130 electrodes are single use and intended to be used in conjunction with semi-automatic external defibrillators (AED) to monitor and deliver defibrillation energy to the patient. The electrodes are intended to be used with AEDs that specify the use of disposable electrodes that meet AAMI DF-39 standards. These AEDs must have compatible electrode connectors. The VivaLink AED and the V2 are examples of such AEDs.

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

The AEDs are used for emergency treatment of cardiac arrest patients who weigh more than 90 pounds. 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.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
