3 Introduction
3.1 Product Description
The Paramedic CU-ERT is a defibrillator simulator designed to mimic the operations of the Paramedic
CU-ERT. It can simulate all the functions of the Paramedic CU-ERT including charging and shock
delivery.
It has preprogrammed rescue scenarios that were generated in accordance with the recommended
rescue protocol of international rescue policy making bodies such as the American Heart Association,
the European Resuscitation Council, and the American Red Cross.
It is to be used in conjunction with the resuscitation mannequin from CU Medical Systems, Inc.
It has a standard infrared remote control accessory which renders it operable by an instructor from a
distance.
3.2 Intended Use
The Paramedic CU-ERT is intended for use during Advanced Cardiac Life Support training, Basic Life
Support training, or any other physician approved trainings that deal with the operation of an
automated external defibrillator.
The Paramedic CU-ERT is not intended for use during actual rescue operations as it can not deliver a
defibrillating shock.
The charging and shock delivery operations of the Paramedic CU-ERT are
simulated only. The device does not contain any defibrillating capacitor and thus
can not charge itself.
