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.

radiotelephones within 2 meters of the AED Pro – turn power OFF to the radiotelephone and other like equipment
near the incident.
CAUTION: Possible Interference with Implanted Pacemaker
Therapy should not be delayed for patients with implanted pacemakers and a defibrillation attempt should be made
if the patient is unconscious and not breathing. The AED Pro has pacemaker detection and rejection, however,
with some pacemakers the AED Pro may not advise a defibrillation shock.1
Placing Pads:
• Do not place the pads directly over an implanted device.
• Place the pad at least one inch from any implanted device.
CAUTION: Moving the Patient During a Rescue
During a rescue attempt, excessive jostling or moving of the patient may cause the AED Pro to improperly analyze
the patient’s cardiac rhythm. Stop all motion or vibration before attempting a rescue.
CAUTION: Systems Statement
Equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be certified to the respective IEC Standards (i.e.
IEC 60950-1 for data processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore, all
configurations shall comply with the system standard IEC 60601-1-1. Anybody who connects additional equipment
to the signal input part or signal output part configures a medical system, and is therefore, responsible that the
system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC 60601-1-1.
CAUTION: Case Cleaning Solutions
When disinfecting the case, use a non-oxidizing disinfectant, such as ammonium salts or a glutaraldehyde based
cleaning solution, to avoid damage to the metal connectors.
