  • Page 30: Rhythmx Aed Ecg Analysis Algorithm

    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 shock (G3 Automatic).

  • Page 31: Noise Detection

    Noise Detection The AED will detect noise artifacts in the ECG. Noise could be introduced by excessive moving of the patient or electronic noise from external sources like cellular and radiotelephones. When noise is detected, the AED will issue the prompt “ANALYSIS INTERRUPTED.

  • Page 32: Svt Rate

    SVT Rate All rhythms with rates between the Detection Rate and SVT Rate will be screened through a number of SVT Discriminators to classify them into VF/ VT or SVT. Rhythms classified as SVT between the two set rates are not shockable.

  • Page 33: Star Biphasic Energy Protocols For Powerheart G3 Aeds

    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 FDA cleared biphasic energy protocols.
