Preface
Glossary
The following are definitions of terms used throughout this service manual.
■
Automated external defibrillator (AED) — The defibrillator uses an ECG
analysis Shock Advisory System™ (SAS) to advise the device operator if it
detects a shockable or nonshockable rhythm. Refer to Appendix B of the
operating instructions for additional information.
■
ADAPTIV biphasic technology — Property of the shock waveform generated
by the device. The biphasic waveform is characterized by a positive current
phase, followed by a reverse current phase of shorter duration and
decreased magnitude. The waveform pulse characteristic is biphasic
truncated exponential (BTE).
■
CHARGE-PAK™ battery charger — An energy storage device that delivers a
trickle charge to the defibrillator.
