analysis to AED charged and
ready to shock
With new battery pack: 8 seconds
With battery pack depleted by 15 200J discharges: 9
seconds
Maximum time from power on
to AED charged and ready to
shock at 200J
36 seconds
Defibrillation pads CPR Uni-padz, CPR-D padz, CPR Stat-padz, Stat-padz II,
or Pedi-padz II
Built in Defibrillator Self Test Included (verifies proper charging and discharging of the
defibrillator)
Defibrillation Advisory Evaluates defibrillation pad connection and patient ECG
to determine if defibrillation is required.
Shockable Rhythms Ventricular fibrillation with average amplitude>100
microvolts and wide complex ventricular tachycardia
(with QRS duration > 120 msec) with rates greater than
150 BPM (adult mode) and 200 BPM (child mode).
