STAR biphasic waveform
The waveform generated by the AED is a Biphasic Truncated
Exponential waveform. The following is a graph of the waveform
voltage as a function of time when the AED is connected to a 50 Ohm
resistive load.
The Biphasic Truncated Exponential (BTE) waveform uses variable
energy. The actual energy delivered will vary with the patient’s
impedance and the device will deliver a shock when impedance is
between 25-180 Ohms. Energy will be delivered at three different levels
referred to as ultra-low variable energy, low variable energy, and high
variable energy as shown in the waveform tables on the following pages.
