Powerheart® AED G3 Elite 9790A and 9790E
Introduction
STAR® biphasic energy protocols for Powerheart® G3
AEDs
The 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
Powerheart® G3 AED comes equipped with five different biphasic
energy protocols.
The operator, with guidance, direction, and implementation from
the designated AED program Medical Director, may select from
one of these five protocols when placing the Powerheart® G3 AED
into service. The Powerheart® G3 AED’s factory default energy
protocol is 200-300-300 Joule (J) escalating Variable Energy (VE).
The first shock is delivered within the range of 126J-260J.
Subsequent shocks are delivered within a range of 170J-351J.
These protocols are selected by using the MDLink software
program. The five biphasic energy protocols available are as
follows:
