Proper placement of the pads is critical. Strict observance of pad positioning instructions, as indicated on the labeling and in training, is essential. Care must be taken to ensure pads are adhered to the patients' skin properly. Air pockets between the adhesive pad and skin must be eliminated.
Cautions Caution statements identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to the equipment or other property. The AED may not operate properly if it is operated or stored at conditions outside the ranges stated in this manual. The AED was designed to be sturdy and reliable for many different use conditions.
INTRODUCTION Mediana provides you with a fully configurable AED system to allow you to comply with your chosen SCA treatment protocol. Our current AED is configured to be compliant with the 2015 version of the AHA/ERC guidelines on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).
The following table identifies the AED configurations and how they are indicated. The Reference number and serial number are located on the bottom of the AED.

In case the 50 minutes event data are stored in internal memory during boot up, buzzer will sound 5 times {Repeat twice} and ‘action icon – step 5’ (HeartOn A15) / ‘action icon – step 4’ (HeartOn A15-G4) LED indicator will flash.
The event data which are stored in internal memory can be viewed after downloading via SD card in accordance with the following procedure. 1. Run the Notepad in Windows. The Notepad window appears with a blank document open. 2. Save this empty file in Notepad and name it ‘Import Internal Data.txt’. 3.
Setting up the AED Use only Mediana-approved and specified parts, accessories, optional parts, consumables, and components. Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the AED to operate improperly and provide false measurements. Follow all labeling instructions on the defibrillation pads and the battery.

Install 2 Check that the AED is working optimally. 1. Change the Patient mode switch by pushing Slide button to the right or left for distinguish between adult and pediatric (infant-child). 2. Turn on the AED by pushing Slide button to the right and opening the cover, ensure that you can hear the voice prompt.
BATTERY OPERATION Test battery regularly, when the voltage of battery is very low. A battery that does not pass its test might shut down expectedly. Do not use a battery that is damaged, leaking, or wet. Do not use or store the battery in a place that may be exposed to high temperature.
Figure 5. Removing the battery protection cap Note: For new batteries, remove the battery protection cap before inserting the battery as shown in the Figure 5. 1. Handle/Battery connector 2. Hook 3. AED connector Figure 6. Replacing the handle/battery – Upper Panel Pull up while pushing the handle/battery detachable button, then disconnect the handle/battery.
Note: Due to the physical dimensions of the battery compartment, only batteries supplied by Mediana should be used. Using other types of replacement batteries may result in damage to the AED and void the limited warranty. When operating on batteries, the battery status in the status indicator indicates the battery condition.
Self Test Before using the AED, confirm that the AED is working properly and is safe to use as described below. If the self test is not completed successfully, do not try to use the AED. When power is applied, the AED automatically starts the self test, which tests the AED circuitry and functions.
Page 25
Battery Insertion Self test When the battery is installed or replaced, the AED automatically starts the battery insertion self test. After battery insertion self test is completed, the AED sounds voice prompt “Unit ok”, the status indicator displays “O” and power of the AED is automatically turned off.

Summary of CPR Guidelines This “Guidelines Highlights” publication summarizes the AHA/ERC 2015 Guidelines. This is easy reference material for both lay rescuer and healthcare provider. Before installing the AED, it is recommended that the expected AED user should be trained to provide CPR and use the AED.
Caution must be taken to ensure no-one is in contact with the patient when a shock is delivered. Note: Only pads supplied by Mediana should be used. Using other types of pads may result in damage to the patient and the AED.
1. Check the status indicator displays “O”. 2. To open the cover, push the Slide button to the right. 3. Turn on the AED by opening the cover. 4. The AED automatically starts the Power-On-Self Test. 5. The test result is displayed on the status indicator and the voice prompt sounds. ...
Step 4 “Check breathing.” Figure 11. HeartOn A15: Action Icon – Step 4 Step 5 Remove clothes to expose the patient's chest. If the patient has an excessively hairy chest, shave the area where the pads are about to be applied.
“Shock cancelled.” Figure 14. HeartOn A15: Action Icon – Step 6 Note: If “No shock advised”, the AED will move to step 8 which demonstrate CPR process directly.
“Shock cancelled.” Figure 15. HeartOn A15: Action Icon – Step 7 Note: If the shock cancel (When the patients’ ECG rhythm is changed to a non-shockable rhythm, when the pads are disconnected or when the impedance or mode is changed) has been occurred 3 times, the AED is performing the CPR process.
“Adult pads” or “Pediatric pads” Figure 17. HeartOn A15-G4: Pad disconnect icon Note: If the pad connector is not connected in any step except for Step 4 (CPR), the AED will move to Pad connector disconnected icon and the voice prompt “Plug in pads.
“Remove clothes from the patient’s chest. Place pad exactly as shown in the picture. Press pads firmly to patient’s bare chest.” Figure 18. HeartOn A15-G4: Action icon – Step 1 Adult: age > 8, weigh ≥ 25kg(55lbs) Pediatric (Infant-Child): age ≤ 8, weigh < 25kg(55lbs)
“Shock cancelled.” Figure 20. HeartOn A15-G4: Action icon –Step 2 Note: If “No shock advised” voice prompt is emitted, the AED will move to step 4 which demonstrate the CPR process.
“Shock cancelled.” Figure 21. HeartOn A15-G4: Action Icon – Step 3 Note: If the shock cancel (When the patients’ ECG rhythm is changed to a non-shockable rhythm, when the pads are disconnected or when the impedance or mode is changed) has been occurred 3 times, the AED is performing the CPR process.
30:2, the recommended duration is 5 cycles (30:2 x 5 cycles). Note: Your Mediana dealer will have trained you in the particular SCA treatment protocol you have chosen. In all cases follow the voice prompts and visual instructions given by the AED.
If the AED is operated in out-of-range for environmental conditions, the AED can’t be operated properly. After using the AED, Mediana technical support recommend you perform the following actions: 1. Use the HeartOn AED Event Review Software to download information about the therapy performed and store appropriately.
“Unit OK” can be heard. Turn off the AED. 9. Contacting Mediana after use. At Mediana we like to hear from our customers whenever they have any occasion to use any of our products, even if therapy is not delivered as part of the incident.
Cleaning To clean the AED, wipe the AED with a soft cloth that has been dampened by one of the following: Soapy water. Isopropyl alcohol (70% solution). For cables and pads, follow cleaning instructions in the directions for use shipped with those components.
The AED Maintenance Mediana recommends users perform regular maintenance checks. A suggested maintenance check would be. 1. Check the status Indicator. If the status Indicator displays “X”, a problem has been detected. Refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual.
If the status indicator is still not displaying “X” or a warning message is heard when the AED is turned on or if for any reason, you have suspicions that your AED is not working correctly contact qualified service personnel or your local supplier or Mediana directly for support.

EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) Keep patients under close surveillance during delivering a shock. It is possible, although unlikely, that radiated electromagnetic signals from sources external to the patient and the AED can cause inaccurate measurement readings. Do not rely entirely on the AED readings for patient assessment.
GLOSSARY Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Sudden cardiac arrest is a condition in which the heart suddenly stops pumping effectively due to a malfunction of the heart's electrical system. Often victims of SCA have no prior warning signs or symptoms. SCA can also occur in people with previously diagnosed heart conditions.
Page 48
SCA. This may allow the victim's heart to return to a sinus rhythm. HeartOn A15 The AED is a semi-automatic device used for the delivery of external defibrillation therapy to resuscitate victims of SCA, who are unresponsive, are not breathing, or without life signs.
