ENGLISH
Not all scenarios are appropriate for all user training.Training scenario
number 1 is the default scenario and is most commonly used when teaching
how to use the defibrillator to treat a victim of sudden cardiac arrest.
If the training scenarios are used as part of a formal training course,
the instructor may wish to:
• select only the scenarios appropriate for the training level goals,
• create case histories and patient details for the selected scenarios,
• highlight certain features of the defibrillator's performance,
• assure that users conform to local protocols,
• check pad placement, and
• evaluate user knowledge on topics such as CPR and assessing the patient.
Trainer Performance during Use
The HeartStart Trainer is designed for use in an automated external
defibrillator training class taught by a qualified instructor.
When a training scenario is running, the Trainer mimics the behavior of the
HS1 Defibrillator during actual emergency use. It provides voice instructions,
guides the user through one or more simulated shocks, provides pauses for
CPR, offers CPR coaching, etc. If there is no user interaction (no buttons are
pressed, or the cartridge handle is not pulled) for ten minutes, the Trainer
turns off.
Certain features of the actual HeartStart HS1 Defibrillator are not
reproduced by the HeartStart Trainer.
• The Trainer cannot be used with the (clinical) SMART Pads cartridges.
If a SMART Pads cartridge is installed, the Trainer will repeatedly request
the user to install a new cartridge.
• The Trainer does not perform the battery insertion and periodic self-tests.
• The Trainer’s setup is configured to meet Guidelines 2005 standard
protocols and cannot be reconfigured.*
• The trainer always uses a standard NSA (No Shock Advised) pause.
* This symbol on the back of the Trainer indicates configuration to meet Guidelines 2005.
