■ Automated External Defibrillator (AED) – The LIFEPAK 500 AED uses an

detects a shockable or nonshockable rhythm. See the Overview of the
Shock Advisory System in the LIFEPAK 500 AED Operating Instructions
for additional details.
■ Biphasic – Property of the shock waveform generated by the LIFEPAK 500
Biphasic AED. The biphasic waveform is characterized by a positive current
phase followed by a reverse current phase of shorter duration and
decreased magnitude. The biphasic waveform pulse characteristic is
truncated exponential (BTE).

the ECG segments associated with key events such as analysis or shock.
See a sample CODE SUMMARY Report in the LIFEPAK 500 AED
