The Powerheart AED provides customization for aspects of a rescue—from the amount of assistance given to a rescuer to the CPR protocol
used. Additionally, each rescue is recorded.
Note: All conguration is performed by a medical director through the AED Manager software supplied with the AED.
Dual languages
The Powerheart G5 provides the option to choose between two languages in selected models. This allows for the user, at any point during
the rescue, to change between the two languages. The AED provides all prompts in the chosen language. The prompt language resets to the
default when the lid closes.
Prompting levels
The AED provides three selectable levels of prompts.
Do not construe them as medical guidance. Medical directors must
use their professional judgment to determine the proper congura-
tion of the AEDs for which they are responsible.
The following table gives an example of the dierences in audio
prompting provided for the levels of coaching. See Appendix A,
RescueCoach™ voice and text prompts, for a complete list of audio
and visual prompts.
