Patient analysis system

Patient analysis: Evaluates patient ECG to determine if a rhythm is shockable. Rhythms considered shockable are ventricular fibrillation (VF) and certain ventricular tachycardias (VT) associated with lack of circulation. For safety reasons, some VT rhythms associated with circulation will not be interpreted as shockable, and some very low-amplitude or low-frequency rhythms will not be interpreted as shockable VF.

Artifact detection: The effects of pacemaker artifact and electrical noise are minimized

Automated and user-activated self-tests

Daily automatic self-tests: Tests internal circuitry, waveform delivery
system, pads cartridge and battery capacity

Pads integrity test: Specifically tests readiness-for-use of pads (gel moisture)

Battery insertion test: Upon battery insertion, extensive automatic self-tests and user-interactive test check device readiness

Status Indicators: Blinking green “Ready” light indicates ready for use; audible “chirp” indicates
need for maintenance
