RESCUE PROTOCOL
The AED rescue protocol is consistent with the guidelines recommended by the American Heart Association
(AHA)
1
and the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR).
Upon detecting a shockable cardiac rhythm, the AED advises the operator to press the
SHOCK
button to deliver
a series of up to 3 defibrillation shocks followed by performing 1 minute of CPR.
The 3 defibrillation shocks are delivered in a pre-programmed sequence.
Note:
The CPR protocol can be modified, for example from 1 to 3 minutes, in increments of 5
seconds, so CPR may be administered if the first analysis is non-shockable or following two
consecutive non-shockable analysis decisions.
STAR BIPHASIC WAVEFORM
The STAR Biphasic Waveform is designed to measure the patient’s impedance and deliver
a customized shock. This allows the delivery of an optimized energy level to each patient.
The energy levels for the Responder AED are available in three different defibrillation shock
2
configurations. See table on next page and page 48 for additional information.

STAR BIPHASIC ENERGY PROTOCOLS FOR RESPONDER AED
The patented STAR
®
Biphasic defibrillation waveform will deliver variable escalating energy that is customized
to each patient’s needs based upon a patient’s thoracic impedance. This customization adjusts for the unique
physical differences between patients. The range of impedance over which the device will deliver a shock is
20-180 Ohms. The Responder AED comes equipped with five different FDA-cleared biphasic energy protocols.
The operator, with guidance, direction and implementation from its designated AED program Medical Director,
may select from one of these five protocols when placing the Responder AED into service. The Responder
AED’s factory default energy protocol is 200-300-300 Joule (J) escalating Variable Energy (VE). The first
shock is delivered within the range of 140J-250J (200J nominal). Subsequent shocks are delivered within a
range of 190J-360J (300J nominal). The accuracy of the energy for the energy in a 50 Ohm resistor is ±15%.

The ultra-low current, low current and high current shocks are variable energy. The actual energy is determined by the patient’s impedance.
