The Smarty Saver Series is a line of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) designed for use by both lay personnel and healthcare professionals who have completed a BLSD (Basic Life Support and Defibrillation) course. The device is intended for use on patients who are unconscious, not breathing, and have no heartbeat. As a life-saving device, the AED must always be available and ready for use, requiring the battery to be continuously connected.
Function Description
The Smarty Saver Series AEDs are designed to analyze cardiac rhythm and deliver an electrical shock if necessary, followed by guidance for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The series includes three main models: Smarty Saver, Smarty Saver Plus, and Smarty Saver Geo, each offering semi-automatic or fully automatic operation.
Core Functions:
- Cardiac Rhythm Analysis: The device analyzes the patient's heart rhythm to determine if a shockable rhythm is present.
- Defibrillation Shock Delivery: In semi-automatic models, a shock button is pressed to deliver the defibrillation. In fully automatic models, the shock is delivered automatically after a voice warning.
- CPR Guidance: The device provides voice prompts and visual feedback (especially in Plus and Geo models) to guide the user through chest compressions and ventilations (30 compressions followed by 2 insufflations). A metronome helps maintain the correct compression rate and depth (5-6 cm).
- Patient Selection: Dedicated buttons or selectors allow the user to choose between adult and pediatric modes, ensuring appropriate energy levels and guidance for universal pads.
- Emergency Call (Geo models): Smarty Saver Geo models feature a "VIVO call button" to initiate a hands-free phone call to a pre-memorized emergency response number.
- ECG Streaming (Geo models): Smarty Saver Geo models can send ECG streaming data to the AMISAVERCLOUD platform via a "Key Stream" button.

Usage Features
-
Start of Rescue:
- Call emergency services.
- Turn on the device.
- Connect the battery (if not already connected).
- The device performs an automatic start-up test and provides voice messages.
- Follow voice prompts.
- Prepare the patient (e.g., expose the chest).
-
Electrodes Position:
- Plug in the PADs connector and select the patient type (adult or pediatric).
- Open and remove covers from the electrodes.
- Apply electrodes to the patient's chest as indicated by the device.
-
Analysis and Shock:
- The device performs cardiac rhythm analysis.
- If a shock is required:
- Semi-automatic: Press the shock button when instructed.
- Fully automatic: The device delivers the shock automatically after a warning voice message.
-
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR):
- Perform 30 chest compressions (5-6 cm depth). A metronome guides the rhythm.
- Practice 2 insufflations (1 second each).
- The CPR Quality Module (for Plus and Geo models) provides real-time feedback on compression depth and frequency via an LED bar.
-
