HeartSine samaritan PAD 360P - Non-rechargeable public automated external defibrillator

Intended purpose

A portable electronic device designed to automatically detect cardiac arrhythmias (ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia) in a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) patient, after which it automatically activates defibrillation of the heart through application of electrical shocks to the chest surface. It consists of an external pulse generator (EPG) with a cardiac rhythm recognition system and a pair of skin-adhesive electrodes to monitor the rhythm and deliver the shocks; it also includes a non-rechargeable battery for energy.

Functional description

Fully automatic defibrillator used together with Pad-Pak or Pediatric-Pak, to quickly deliver a defibrillation shock to victims of sudden cardiac arrest.
