On/Off button stops the battery insertion self-test that automatically runs when a
battery is inserted.
pads See "SMART pads."
patient care pause A defined pause to allow patient assessment, treatment, and/or CPR. See
"NSA pause" and "protocol pause."
periodic self-tests Daily, weekly, and monthly tests automatically conducted by the HeartStart
Defibrillator when it is in its standby mode. The tests monitor many key functions
and parameters of the defibrillator, including battery capacity, pads cartridge
readiness, and the state of its internal circuitry.
protocol A sequence of operations performed by the HeartStart Defibrillator to direct
patient care in the AED mode.
protocol pause A pause provided by the HeartStart Defibrillator after a shock series, during which
the responder can administer CPR. The defibrillator does not conduct background
monitoring of the patient's heart rhythm during this pause.
Ready light A green LED showing the readiness for use of the HeartStart Defibrillator. A
blinking Ready light means the defibrillator is ready for use; a solid Ready light
means the defibrillator is being used.
rhythm analysis See "SMART analysis."
Shock button An orange button with a lightning bolt symbol on it, located on the front of the
HeartStart Defibrillator. The Shock button flashes when a shock is advised. You
must press the button for the shock to be delivered.
shockable rhythm A heart rhythm that the HeartStart Defibrillator determines is appropriate for
defibrillation, such as ventricular fibrillation and some ventricular tachycardias
associated with sudden cardiac arrest.
shock series interval A configurable interval between shocks, used by the HeartStart Defibrillator to
decide if the shocks are part of the same shock series.
SMART analysis The proprietary algorithm used by the HeartStart Defibrillator to analyze the
patient's heart rhythm and determine whether the rhythm is shockable.
SMART biphasic The patented, low-energy defibrillation shock waveform used by the HeartStart
waveform Defibrillator. It is an impedance-compensated biphasic waveform. Used with the
Adult SMART Pads, it delivers 150 Joules, nominal, into a 50 ohm load; used with
the Infant/Child SMART Pads, it delivers 50 Joules, nominal, into a 50 ohm load.
SMART NSA pause See "NSA pause."
SMART Pads The adhesive pads, supplied in a cartridge, used with the HeartStart Defibrillator.
Pulling the handle on the cartridge turns on the defibrillator and opens the
