7.7 Change of rhythm
SMARTY Saver Plus performs a continuous analysis of the patient’s heartbeat, throughout resuscitation.
If, after having recommended the shock, the device detects a change in the patient’s heartbeat which no longer requires
defibrillation, the AED will disarm automatically.
In this case, you will hear the following commands:
7.8 Non-defibrillable rhythm
If, during the analysis of the heartbeat, SMARTY Saver Plus does not detect a VF o a VT, it will inform the operator with
the following commands:
All rhythms other than VT and VF will be assessed as non-defibrillable.
For more information, please see paragraph 10.9.
7.9 Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation
A SMARTY Saver Plus defibrillator will guide the operator towards CPR in one of the following cases:
• A defibrillable rhythm has been detected and a defibrillation shock has been delivered
• A non-defibrillable rhythm has been detected
• A defibrillable rhythm has been detected but the shock button has not been pushed
• A defibrillable rhythm has been detected by the patient’s rhythm has changed
SMARTY Saver Plus will provide voice instructions to perform CPR, guiding the operator on how to perform the chest
compressions and insufflations. (see par. 5.4)
SMARTY Saver Plus will mark the rhythm of chest compressions with a metronome; once the compressions are finished,
it will ask for the insufflations to be performed.
In accordance with the requirements of the AHA/ERC guidelines, the duration of the cardio-pulmonary resuscitation is
approximately 2 minutes, with a compression/insufflation ratio of 30/2 for a total of 5 full cycles.
The voice instructions of SMARTY Saver Plus are repeated for all cycles, i.e. for approximately 2 minutes.
