Warning
Patients suitable for treatment
The SAM 500P has been designed to
work on unconscious, nonresponsive
patients. If the patient is responsive or
conscious, do not use the SAM 500P to
provide treatment.
The SAM 500P uses an interchangeable
battery and electrode pack called Pad-
Pak. The SAM 500P in combination with
an adult Pad-Pak is suitable for use on
patients of over 25 kilograms (55 pounds)
in weight or equivalent to a child of
approximately eight years old or over.
For use on smaller children (from 1 to 8
years old), remove the adult Pad-Pak and
install a Pediatric-Pak. If a Pediatric-Pak
or an alternative suitable debrillator is not
available, you may use an adult system.
If you treat a paediatric patient with
an adult Pad-Pak, ignore any voice
prompts regarding the quality of the
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The
CPR Advisor is currently only intended to
provide feedback on adult patients.
Do not delay treatment trying to nd out
the patient’s exact age and weight.
Risk of electric shock
The SAM 500P delivers therapeutic
electrical shocks that can cause serious
harm to either operators or bystanders.
Take care to ensure that nobody touches
the patient when a shock is to be
delivered.
Avoid opening or repairing
The SAM 500P has no serviceable
parts. Do NOT open or repair the device
under any circumstances as there could
be danger of electric shock. If damage
is suspected, replace the SAM 500P
immediately.
Warnings and Cautions

6
Avoid explosive or ammable
gases
It has been determined that the SAM
500P is safe to use with oxygen mask
delivery systems. However, to avoid
the risk of an explosion, it is strongly
advised that you do NOT use the SAM
500P in the vicinity of explosive gases,
including ammable anaesthetics or
concentrated oxygen.
Caution
Correct placement of the electrode
pads
Proper placement of the SAM 500P’s
electrode pads is critical. You must strictly
observe the instructions shown in the
Emergency User Guide and on the device.
Wrong placement, or the presence of
air, hair, surgical dressings or medicine
patches between the pads and the skin,
could reduce debrillation effectiveness.
Slightly red skin after shock therapy
is normal.
Do not touch the patient during
analysis
Touching the patient during the analysis
phase of treatment can cause interference
with the diagnostic process. Avoid contact
with the patient while analysis is being
carried out. The device will instruct you
when it is safe to touch the patient.
Warnings and Cautions

7
Do not use if the pouch containing
the electrodes is not sealed
The Pad-Pak is a single-use item and you
must replace it after each use or if the
pouch that seals debrillation pads has
been broken or compromised in any way. If
you suspect that the Pad-Pak is damaged,
you must replace it immediately.
Notice
Susceptibility to electromagnetic
interference
To safeguard against interference, you
must operate the SAM 500P at least 2 m
(6 feet) away from all radio frequency
devices. Alternatively, switch off the
equipment causing the electromagnetic
interference.
Temperature range for operation
The SAM 500P, with its battery, pads and
electrodes, is designed to operate in the
temperature range of 0 ºC to 50 ºC. Use of
the device outside this range may cause
malfunction.
Ingress protection
The IP56 rating does not cover the
immersion of any part of the SAM 500P
in water or any type of uid. Contact with
uids may seriously damage the device or
cause re or a shock hazard.

8
Prolonging battery life
Do not turn on the device unnecessarily
as this may reduce the standby life of
the device.
Standby storage outside the range of 0 ºC
to 50 ºC may decrease the shelf-life of
the Pad-Pak.
Do not test on simulators and
manikins
Our devices cannot be tested
using industry-standard simulators
and manikins.
Our algorithm uses heart rate variability as
one of its criteria for measuring ventricular
brillation (VF). Consequently we do not
recommend the use of normal simulators
to test our device.

The SAM 500P
The SAM 500P is a semi-automatic
external debrillator designed to quickly
deliver a debrillation shock to victims of
sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
The SAM 500P is designed to operate
in accordance with the joint European
Resuscitation Council (ERC) and
American Heart Association (AHA)
2010 guidelines on Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency
Cardiovascular Care (ECC).
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)
Sudden cardiac arrest is a condition in
which the heart suddenly stops pumping
effectively due to a malfunction of the
heart’s electrical system. Often victims
of SCA have no prior warning signs
or symptoms. SCA can also occur in
people with previously diagnosed heart
conditions. Survival from SCA depends on
immediate and effective cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR).
The use of an external debrillator within
the rst few minutes of collapse can
greatly improve patient’s chances of
survival. Heart attack and SCA are not
the same, though sometimes a heart
attack can lead to an SCA. If you are
experiencing symptoms of a heart attack
(chest pain, pressure, shortness of breath,
tight feeling in the chest or elsewhere
in the body), seek emergency medical
attention immediately.
Ventricular brillation
The normal electrical rhythm by which the
heart muscle contracts to create blood
ow around the body is known as normal
sinus rhythm (NSR). Ventricular brillation
(VF), caused by chaotic electrical signals
in the heart, is often the cause of SCA.
In victims of SCA it is possible to re-
establish normal sinus rhythm by means
of an electric shock across the heart. This
treatment is called debrillation.
Introduction

Introduction
CPR quality
When providing cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) treatment to a victim
of sudden cardiac arrest, it is vital the
chest compressions are of a good quality.
If the quality of the CPR provided is good,
the chances of successfully resuscitating a
patient are greatly increased.
Research has demonstrated that non-
professional responders regularly provide
ineffective CPR due to inexperience. As
a response to this problem, HeartSine
has developed the SAM 500P with
CPR-Advisor.
The SAM 500P with CPR-Advisor can
provide feedback to rescuers on the
effectiveness of the cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) they are providing
to the victim. The SAM 500P uses
ICG measurements to analyse the
effectiveness and rate of compressions
given and then, based on this analysis,
advises the rescuer to push harder, faster
or slower as appropriate. The SAM 500P
uses both audible and visual prompts to
give the responder feedback on the quality
of the compressions administered.
Warning: The CPR Advisor
function is intended for use
on adult patients only. If a
Pediatric-Pak is used, the CPR
function is disabled. In this
case, the rescuer is prompted
to begin CPR but receives no
CPR Advisor feedback.
Impedance cardiogram (ICG)
The impedance cardiogram is a method
of measuring changes in the patient’s
impedance due to motion, blood ow and
changes to the shape of the heart. The
SAM 500P uses these measurements
to estimate the impedance changes in
the chest and so as a way to determine
the effectiveness of compressions given
during CPR.

12
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
debrillator. 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 certied
training organisations in your region.
CPR metronome
During CPR the SAM 500P will play
an audible beep and ash 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.
