Become familiar with the controls and how to use the AED PRO properly before operating the product.

AED PRO DESCRIPTION

The AED Pro is a self-testing, battery-operated automated external defibrillator (AED). After applying the AED's pads to

the patient's chest, the AED automatically analyzes the patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) and advises the operator to

push the button and deliver a shock if needed. The AED guides the operator through the rescue using a combination of

voice prompts, audible alerts, and visible indicators. At the discretion of Advanced Life Support (ALS) personnel, the AED

Pro can be converted to manual override mode, and deliver a shock by pushing the SHOCK button. The AED Pro can

also provide non-diagnostic ECG monitoring.

INDICATIONS FOR USE / INTENDED USE

The AED PRO with STAR Biphasic Waveform is intended to be used by medical professionals who have been trained in

its operation. The operator should be qualified by training in basic life support, CPR/AED, and manual defibrillation. The

device is indicated for emergency treatment of victims exhibiting symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest that are

unresponsive and not breathing. If the victim is breathing post-resuscitation, the AED Pro 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; or when in manual override mode, ALS personnel will monitor

the ECG display and deliver a shock by pushing the shock button to deliver therapy.

WARNING: When the patient is a child or infant under 8 years of age or weighs less than 55 lbs (25kg), the AED

PRO should be used with the Model 2019199-003 Pediatric Attenuated Defibrillation Electrode Pads. Therapy

should not be delayed to determine the patient's exact age or weight.
