Star Biphasic Energy Protocols For Powerheart G3 Aeds - Cardiac Science Powerheart AED G3 Plus 9390A Operator's And Service Manual

Introduction
STAR biphasic energy protocols for Powerheart G3
AEDs
The STAR Biphasic defibrillation waveform will deliver variable
escalating energy that is customized to each patient's needs based upon
a patient's thoracic impedance. This customization adjusts for the
unique physical differences between patients. The Powerheart G3 AED
comes equipped with five different biphasic energy protocols.
The operator, with guidance, direction, and implementation from the
designated AED program Medical Director, may select from one of
these five protocols when placing the Powerheart G3 AED into service.
The Powerheart G3 AED's factory default energy protocol is 200-300-
300 Joule (J) escalating Variable Energy (VE). The first shock is
delivered within the range of 126J-260J. Subsequent shocks are
delivered within a range of 170J-351J.
These protocols are selected by using the MDLink software program.
The five biphasic energy protocols available are as follows:
