Can HeartStart be used on a person with a pacemaker or ICD?

0

It is all right to use the HeartStart on a person with an implanted device such as a pacemaker or ICD, but do not place the pads directly over the implant. You can tell where an implant is located by a lump in the skin and a scar. It is also all right to use HeartStart on someone wearing an oxygen mask.
