The Basics
2.1 Overview
The BeneHeart (hereinafter called the equipment) is a lightweight and portable defibrillator/monitor. It provides four
operating modes: Monitor, Manual Defib, AED and Pacer.
In Monitor Mode, the equipment is intended for monitoring, displaying, reviewing, storing and printing multiple
physiological parameters and waveforms including ECG, pulse oximetry (SpO
2
), respiration (Resp), and non-invasive
blood pressure (NIBP).
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 may be performed through paddles or multifunction electrode pads. In Manual Defib Mode, you can also
perform synchronized cardioversion. If desired, use of Manual Defib Mode may be password protected.
The Pacer Mode offers non-invasive transcutaneous pacing therapy. Pace pulses are delivered through multifunction
electrode pads. Use of Pacer Mode may also be password protected.
The equipment can be powered by smart lithium ion batteries which are rechargeable and maintenance-free. You can
easily determine the remaining battery charge by viewing the battery power gauge displayed on the screen or by
checking the indicator on the battery itself. An external AC mains or a DC power supply connected through an DC/AC
adapter may also be used as a power source and for continuous battery charging.
The equipment automatically stores patient data in an internal storage card. You can also export the data through the
USB port for viewing and editing on a PC through the data management software.
2.2 Intended Use
The equipment is intended for external defibrillation, internal defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion and
semi-automatic defibrillation (AED). It can also be used for non-invasive external pacing as well as ECG, SpO
2
, Resp, and
NIBP monitoring.
The equipment is for use in hospital and 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.
