AED DESCRIPTION
The AED 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 uses one button and 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 can be converted to manual override
mode, and deliver a shock by pushing the SHOCK button. The AED can also provide non-diagnostic ECG
monitoring.
INDICATIONS FOR USE / INTENDED USE
The AED with STAR Biphasic Waveform is intended to be used by personnel who have been trained in its
operation. The operator should be qualified by training in basic life support, CPR/AED or other physician-
authorized emergency medical response. 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 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 should be used with the Model 9730 Pediatric Attenuated Defibrillation Electrode
Pads. Therapy should not be delayed to determine the patient’s exact age or weight.

RHYTHMX® AED ECG ANALYSIS ALGORHITHM
The RhythmX AED ECG analysis algorithm provides superior ECG detection capabilities, allowing it to be placed on
patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest. The features available with the AED include the following:
• Detection Rate
• Asystole Threshold
• Noise Detection
• Non-Committed Shock
• Synchronized Shock
• Pacemaker Pulse Rejection
• SVT Discriminators
• Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) Rate
DETECTION RATE
All ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) rhythms at or above this rate will be classified as shockable.
All rhythms below this rate will be classified as non-shockable. This rate is configurable between 120 bpm (beats per
minute) and 240 bpm. Service can change this rate using the ServiceLink software. The default Detection Rate is 160
bpm. The Responder AED Pro detection rate is 160 bpm.
ASYSTOLE THRESHOLD
The Asystole baseline-to-peak threshold is set at 0.08 mV. ECG rhythms at or below 0.08 mV will be classified as
Asystole and will not be shockable.
NOISE DETECTION
The AED will detect noise artifact in the ECG. Noise could be introduced by excessive moving of the patient or electronic
noise from external sources like cellular and radiotelephones. When noise is detected, the AED will issue the prompt
“ANALYSIS INTERRUPTED. STOP PATIENT MOTION” to warn the operator. The AED will then proceed to reanalyze
the rhythm and continue with the rescue.
NON-COMMITTED SHOCK
After the AED advises a shock, it continues to monitor the patient ECG rhythm. If the patient’s rhythm changes to a non-
shockable rhythm before the actual shock is delivered, the AED will advise that the rhythm has changed and issue the
prompt “RHYTHM CHANGED. SHOCK CANCELLED.” The AED will enter CPR mode and prompt, “START CPR”.
SYNCHRONIZED SHOCK
The AED is designed to synchronize shock delivery on the R-wave. The AED will automatically attempt to synchronize to
the R-wave. If delivery cannot be synchronized within one second, a non-synchronized shock will be delivered.
PACEMAKER PULSE DETECTION
The AED contains pacemaker pulse detection circuitry to detect pulses from an implanted pacemaker.
SVT (Superventricular Tachycardia) DISCRIMINATORS
The Responder AED Pro is supplied with the SVT Discriminator enabled and with the default setting "NO THERAPY FOR
SVT". With the factory default setting of "NO THERAPY FOR SVT", the Responder AED Pro will not shock an SVT
rhythm.
SVT Discriminators are sophisticated filters that analyze the morphology of the ECG waveforms and distinguish VF/VT
from SVT and Normal Sinus Rhythms (NSR). The SVT Discriminator will only be applied to rhythms that fall between the
Detection Rate and the SVT Rate. The factory default setting for this feature is "NO THERAPY FOR SVT", however
Service can change the settings for this feature using the ServiceLink software.

SECTION 2 - INTRODUCTION
2023491-201 Rev B © 2007 General Electric Company Page 13 of 33
SVT RATE
All rhythms with rates between the Detection Rate and SVT Rate will be screened through a number of SVT
Discriminators to classify them into VF/VT or SVT. Rhythms classified as SVT between the two set rates are not
shockable. All SVT rhythms above the rates will be classified as shockable. The SVT Rate must be greater than the
Detection Rate and is selectable by Service between 160 and 300 bpm or, “NO THERAPY FOR SVT” can be selected by
Service using the ServiceLink software.
RESCUE PROTOCOL
The AED rescue protocol is consistent with the guidelines recommended by the American Heart
Association (AHA)1European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the International Liaison Committee
on Resuscitation (ILCOR).
Upon detecting a shockable cardiac rhythm, the AED advises the operator to press the SHOCK button to deliver a shock
and then advises the operator to start CPR.
Note: The standard CPR protocol of 120 seconds can be modified from 60 to 180 seconds in ServiceLink
OPERATOR TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
Persons authorized to operate the AED must have all of the following minimum training.
•Defibrillation training and other training as required by state, province, or country regulations.
•Training on operation and use of the AED.
•Additional training as required by the physician or Medical Director.
•A thorough understanding of the procedures in this manual.
Note: Keep valid certificates of training and certification as required by state, province, or
country regulations.
