1 General Introduction
The Dash Responder is a lightweight, portable defibrillator which must be connected to a Dash 2000 or
Dash 3000/4000 patient monitor for operation.
The Dash Responder is available with or without transcutaneous pacer.
The Dash Responder is powered from a rechargeable battery which is inserted into the device. A new
fully charged battery provides power for approx. 60 shocks with 360 J each or for approx. 5 hours of
pacemaker operation at an average pulse rate and pacer output (75 ppm, 100 mA).
The Dash Responder will not operate unless equipped with the battery.
The battery charges automatically when the system (patient monitor and Dash Responder) is connected
to the power line and both devices are not turned on. When the devices are on, the battery will charge
only when the Dash Responder does not require the full energy for operation the patient monitor is able
to deliver.
The Dash 3000/4000 also charges the defibrillator battery when disconnected from power line. A
separate, optional charging unit (ASU 3000) is available for battery charging.
