STAR BIPHASIC RESCUE PROTOCOLS FOR RESPONDER AED Pro
The patented STAR® Biphasic defibrillation waveform will deliver variable escalating energy that is customized to each
patient’s needs based upon a patient’s thoracic impedance. This customization adjusts for the unique physical differences
between patients. The range of impedance over which the device will deliver a shock is 25-180 Ohms. The Responder
AED Pro comes equipped with five different FDA-cleared biphasic rescue protocols.
The operator, with guidance, direction and implementation from its designated AED program Medical Director, may select
from one of these five protocols when placing the into service. The AED’s factory default rescue protocol is 200-300-300
Joule (J) escalating Variable Energy (VE). The first shock is delivered within the range of 140J-250J (200J nominal).
Subsequent shocks are delivered within a range of 190J-360J (300J nominal).
These protocols are selected by using our ServiceLink software program. The five biphasic energy protocols available are
as follows:

The ultra-low current, low current and high current shocks are variable energy. The actual energy is determined by the
patient’s impedance.
