LifeVest 4000 Patient Manual 

This information helps you safely operate the LifeVest device. Read and 
understand these warnings, cautions, and symbols before using the device. 

  WARNING: Warns you of possible injury or death that can be caused by 

misuse of the device. This includes device failure that could lead to you being not 
protected by the device. 

  CAUTION: Advises you of a possible problem with the device. Such 

problems include damage to the device or other property, or minor injury. 

y

  Always wear the LifeVest device and make sure the electrode belt and 

battery are properly connected to the monitor. The device cannot detect an 
abnormal rhythm or deliver a treatment if not worn and properly connected. 

y

  Do not let another person wear your LifeVest device. Because the device has 

been programmed to recognize your specific heart rhythm pattern, if it detects 
an unfamiliar heart rhythm, it may shock that person. 

y

  Do not attempt to open the monitor, battery, charger, or electrode belt. This 

may expose you to high voltage and damage the system. 

Rescue defibrillation 

y

  If you should require conventional defibrillation, a warning label on the 

garment informs medical personnel to unfasten and lay open the garment, 
thus removing the front therapy pad from your chest. If the garment remains 
fastened and connected, the LifeVest device may interfere with the 
defibrillation, and the conventional defibrillator may damage the device. 

y

  Use the LifeVest device only after you understand all training and 

instructions. 

y

  Do not put anything other than the monitor into the holster. The extra weight 

may pull the electrode belt from the body. 

y

  Keep the device out of the reach of children. The device may be damaged by 

improper handling. 

y

  Do not kink the cables. Kinking the cables may damage them and cause the 

system to malfunction.
