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.
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 who 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 tachyarrythmia recurs, the device will charge automatically and
advise the operator to deliver therapy.
When the patient is a child under 8 years of age or weighs less than 55 lbs (25kg), the AED should be used
with the Model 9730 Pediatric Attenuated Defibrillation Electrodes. Therapy should not be delayed to
determine the patient’s exact age or weight.

SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Page 14 of 35 © 2010 General Electric Company 2022100-201 Rev C
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
• Continuous Monitoring
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 programmable
between 120 bpm (beats per minute) and 240 bpm via ServiceLink Software by the Medical Director. The
default Detection Rate is 160 bpm. The Responder AED 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 override
the charge and continue ECG analysis.
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.

SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
2022100-201 Rev C © 2010 General Electric Company Page 15 of 35
PACEMAKER PULSE DETECTION
The AED contains pacemaker pulse detection circuitry to detect pulses from an implanted pacemaker.
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) DISCRIMINATORS
The Responder AED 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
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 the Medical Director can enable this feature using ServiceLink on the
Responder AED.
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 via ServiceLink Software by the Medical Director on the Responder AED only.

SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Page 16 of 35 © 2010 General Electric Company 2022100-201 Rev C
RESCUE PROTOCOL
The AED Rescue protocol is consistent with the guidelines recommended by the American
Heart Association (AHA)2, European 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 – 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.
