Overview of the AED7000 Semiautomatic External Defibrillator

3.1.1 Overview
The AED7000 Semiautomatic External Defibrillator is a safe, easy to use defibrillation device. The unit
is lightweight and mobile and can be used in situations where there could be several minutes before
the arrival of advanced life support (ALS) personnel.
The AED7000 recognizes ventricular fibrillation and other ventricular tachycardia and guides ope-
rators through the defibrillation process. When properly connected to a patient who is unconscious,
not breathing, and without a pulse, the AED7000 analyzes the patient's heart rhythm, provides text
and audio instruction prompts, determines if a shockable situation exists and if appropriate, automa-
tically arms the Shock button.
The AED7000 delivers the defibrillation shock through two self-adhesive, pre-gelled, low-impedance
electrode defibrillator pads. The pads, cable, and connector are sold as disposable kits.
The AED7000 is designed for infrequent use. This term is used to describe a defibrillator designed to
endure less than 2500 discharges.
3.1.2 Features
AED7000 features include:
1. Three-step defibrillation process
2. Two-button operation
3. Extensive voice and visual prompts for the operator
4. Biphasic energy output
5. Lock-out protection to prevent inadvertent defibrillation
3.1.3 Qualified Operators
The AED7000 permits trained users to administer a brief electrical shock to patients experiencing
fibrillation or sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). A qualified operator is someone who has successfully
completed a CPR AED training course.
