AED
Input ECG via QUIK-COMBO or FAST-PATCH disposable electrodes. Standard
placement: anterior-lateral. Alternate placement: anterior-posterior.
Electrical Protection Input protected against high voltage defibrillator pulses per IEC 60601/
EN 60601.
Safety Classification Internally powered equipment IEC 60601-1/EN 60601-1, 5.1.
Waveform Monophasic pulse (Edmark) per AAMI DF2-1989, 3.2.1.5.1
Biphasic truncated exponential, with voltage and duration compensation for
patient impedance.
2
Output Energy Accuracy ±15% into 50 ohms (monophasic)
±10% into 50 ohms (biphasic)
±15% into 25 to 100 ohms (biphasic)
Output Energy Sequence Monophasic: 200, 200, 360 joules (360 joules thereafter) or 200, 300, 360
joules (360 joules thereafter).
Biphasic: Three levels, user configurable from 200 to 360 joules, delivered
(Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 3...).
Charge Time With a new, nonrechargeable battery pak, or a new, fully charged
rechargeable battery pak:
200 joules in less than 9 seconds
360 joules in less than 15 seconds.
Controls
ON/OFF
Turns device power on or off.
ANALYZE
Starts ECG analysis. (Optional).
SHOCK
Delivers defibrillation energy. Active only when Shock Advisory System
advises defibrillation.
Clock Set
Two switches
▲ and are provided to set the clock.
Display Two-line, 20-character per line dot matrix liquid crystal display.
Readiness Display Indicates
OK when self-test completed successfully.
Low Battery Indicator Low battery icon:
At least 11 discharges remaining with nonrechargeable battery pak
At least 6 discharges remaining with rechargeable battery pak.
1
All specifications at 20°C (68°F) unless otherwise stated. All performance specifications assume the device has been
stored (two hours minimum) at the operating temperature prior to operation.
2
Specifications apply from 25 to 200 ohms. Voltage compensation is limited to the voltage that would result in delivery of
360 joules into 50 ohms.
