Introduction
Recommended training
SCA is a condition requiring immediate
emergency medical intervention. Due
to the nature of the condition, this
intervention can be performed before
seeking the advice of a physician.
To properly diagnose this condition,
HeartSine recommends that all potential
users of the SAM 500P are fully trained
in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),
basic life support (BLS) and, in particular,
the use of an automated external
defibrillator. HeartSine also recommends
that this training be kept up to date by
regular refresher courses as and when
recommended by your training provider.
If potential users of the SAM 500P are
not trained in these techniques, contact
your authorised distributor or HeartSine
Technologies directly. Either can arrange
for training to be provided. Alternatively
contact your local government health
department for information on certified
training organisations in your region.

CPR metronome
During CPR the SAM 500P will play
an audible beep and flash the "Safe To
Touch" indicator at a rate compliant with
2010 AHA/ERC guidelines. This feature
is referred to as the CPR metronome.
Use the metronome as a guide on how
frequently to compress a patient's chest if
you need to apply CPR.
