STAR BIPHASIC WAVEFORM
The STAR Biphasic Waveform is designed to measure the patient’s impedance and deliver a customized shock. This
allows the delivery of an optimized energy level to each patient. See table on next page for additional information.
STAR BIPHASIC ENERGY PROTOCOLS FOR RESPONDER AED PRO
Cardiac Science’s 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 AED Pro comes equipped with five different FDA cleared biphasic energy protocols.
The operator, with guidance, direction and implementation from its designated AED Pro program Medical Director, may
select from one of these five protocols when placing the AED Pro into service. The AED Pro’s factory default energy
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). See next page.
