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.
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:
