Page 35: Defibrillation Therapy
A direct current defibrillator applies a brief, intense pulse of electricity to the heart muscle. The RESCUE LIFE defibrillator/monitor delivers this energy through disposable pads, standard paddles or internal paddles applied to the patient’s chest. Successful resuscitation is associated to the length of time between the onset of a heart rhythm that does not circulate blood (ventricular fibrillation, pulseless ventricular tachycardia) and defibrillation. - Page 36 Distributed by Rescue Life - User Manual Rev. 3.1 Indications Defibrillation is a recognized means of terminating certain potentially fatal arrhythmias, like a ventricular fibrillation and symptomatic ventricular tachycardia. Delivery of this energy in the synchronized way is a method for treating atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and, in relatively stable patients, ventricular tachycardia.

Page 72: Clinical Information
Distributed by Rescue Life - User Manual Rev. 3.1 APPENDIX A CLINICAL INFORMATION Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) associated with ventricular fibrillation (VF) remains a leading cause of unexpected death in the Western world. It has been estimated that chances for survival from SCA decrease approximately 7% to 10% with each passing minute and that survival rates after 12 minutes are only 2% to 5%. - Page 73 Distributed by Rescue Life - User Manual Rev. 3.1 Research has shown that chest resistance can vary significantly from patient to patient. Patients with low impedance are generally easier to defibrillate because the flow of current meets little resistance. Those with higher impedance may be more difficult to defibrillate.

Page 74: Ease In Compensation Of Patient Impedance
Distributed by Rescue Life - User Manual Rev. 3.1 EASE IN COMPENSATION OF PATIENT IMPEDANCE Through Biphasic technology, defibrillation shock delivery is controlled while taking into consideration the patient’s impedance. The patient’s impedance is measured through the defibrillator electrodes. According to the measured patient’s impedance, e-cube Biphasic technology adjusts the duration of current flow to optimize the effectiveness of the shock delivery. - Page 75 Distributed by Rescue Life - User Manual Rev. 3.1...

Page 76: Enough Energy For Restoring Heart Rhythm
Distributed by Rescue Life - User Manual Rev. 3.1 Extensive animal and human data with implanted devices demonstrate that biphasic waveforms offer substantial reductions in defibrillation thresholds and produce less myocardial dysfunction than monophasic waveforms [1], [2], [3], [4]. The defibrillation efficacy of the 150-J biphasic waveform was superior to that of the 200-J to 360-J conventional escalating-energy monophasic waveforms for 115 patients who presented with VF [5]. - Page 77 Distributed by Rescue Life - User Manual Rev. 3.1 In a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial of 150J biphasic waveform compared with 200J and 360J monophasic waveforms done in humans, Schneider et al [5] showed that “the 150-J biphasic waveform defibrillated at higher rates, resulting in more patients who achieved a return of spontaneous circulation.
