Defibrillators: Three things to know
1. You should know it has a battery. You should have been told the defibrillator has a battery and it needs periodic re-charging by a company expert.
2. You should be aware of door-bell rings appearing to come from nowhere. Your defibrillator starts emitting a sound described as sounds coming from a European emergency vehicle i.e., ding-dong. It occurs for about ten seconds at different times of the day or night. The sound is warning you of dangers with the defibrillator. I understand there are more tones you should be aware of that could be emitted from your defibrillator.
3. When you hear what I would describe as door-bell rings, call 911 immediately. Any delay can result in electric shocks to your body and possible heart damages. Once you get to the hospital, a magnet may be applied to the defibrillator to defuse it and after that, you will be in the hands of the cardiologist. I personally think first responder teams should have training as to applying the magnet.
