The Basics
It is important to understand that survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest are directly related to how soon victims receive
treatment. For every minute of delay, the chance of survival declines by 7% to 10%. Treatment cannot assure survival. In
some patients, the underlying problem causing the cardiac arrest is simply not survivable despite any available care.
2.1 Overview
The BeneHeart D1 (hereinafter called the equipment) is a lightweight and portable automated external defibrillator.
There are two types of configuration for the equipment: Pro and Public. Public provides only AED mode while Pro
provides two operating modes: AED and Manual Defib mode.
In AED mode, the equipment automatically analyzes the patient’s ECG rhythm and indicates whether or not a shockable
rhythm is detected. Voice prompts provide easy-to-follow instructions and patient information to guide you through the
defibrillation process. Messages and flashing buttons are also presented to reinforce the voice prompts.
In the Manual Defib mode, the operator analyzes the patient’s ECG, and, if appropriate, follows this procedure:
1. Select the Manual Defib mode, adjust the energy level if necessary;
2. Charge; and,
3. Deliver the shock.
Defibrillation is performed through multifunction electrode pads. In Manual Defib mode, you can also perform
synchronized cardioversion.
In Manual Defib mode, the equipment also provides monitoring, displaying and storing of 3-lead ECG.
The equipment can be powered by a supplied disposable battery or a smart lithium ion battery which is rechargeable
and maintenance-free. You can easily determine the remaining battery charge by viewing the battery power gauge
displayed on the screen. For rechargeable batteries, you can also check the indicator on the battery itself.
The equipment automatically stores patient data in an internal storage card. You can also export the data through the
USB port for viewing on a PC through the data management software.
2.2 Intended Use
Pro is intended for automatic defibrillation (AED) and manual defibrillation treatments. It guides operators through
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and can also be used for ECG monitoring.
Public is intended for AED. It also guides operators throughout CPR.
The equipment is for use in pre-hospital settings by qualified medical personnel trained in the operation of the
equipment and qualified by training in basic life support, advanced cardiac life support or defibrillation.
