Introduction

Indications for use

Powerheart AED G3 and Powerheart AED G3
Automatic
The Powerheart AED G3 and the Powerheart AED G3 Automatic
devices are intended to be used by personnel who have been trained in
its operation. The user should be qualified by training in basic life
support or other physician-authorized emergency medical response.
The device is indicated for emergency treatment of victims exhibiting
symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest who are unresponsive and not
breathing. Post-resuscitation, if the victim is breathing, the AED
should be left attached to allow for acquisition and detection of the
ECG rhythm. If a shockable ventricular tachyarrhythmia recurs, the
device will charge automatically and advise the operator to deliver
therapy (G3) or automatically deliver the charge (G3 Automatic).
When a patient is a child or infant up to 8 years of age, or up to 55 lbs
(25kg), the device should be used with the Model 9730 Pediatric
Attenuated Defibrillation Electrodes. The therapy should not be
delayed to determine the patient's exact age or weight.
9131 Defibrillation Electrodes
Cardiac Science 9131 Defibrillation Electrodes are single use and
intended to be used in conjunction with Cardiac Science automatic
external defibrillators (AED) to monitor and deliver defibrillation
energy to the patient.
The electrodes are intended for short term use (<8 hours) and must be
used before the expiration date listed on the packaging.
The AED electrodes are used for emergency treatment of cardiac arrest
patients over 8 years of age or greater than 55 pounds. The user assesses
the patient's condition and confirms that the patient is unconscious,
pulseless and is not breathing prior to applying the electrodes to the
skin.
