The i-PAD NF1200 is a semi-automated external defibrillator designed for minimally trained individuals. It provides simple and direct voice prompts and indications for a straightforward rescue operation. The i-PAD NF1200 needs the user to press its SHOCK button to deliver a defibrillating shock. During a rescue operation, it continuously acquires the electrocardiogram (ECG) of the patient. It also conducts arrhythmia detection continuously except during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The timing and duration of the CPR are in accordance with the recommendations of the American Heart Association (AHA) 2005 Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC). The i-PAD NF1200 is lightweight and battery powered for maximum portability. Its battery pack has a capacity of 200 shocks (10 hours of operating time.)It delivers a 150-Joule biphasic truncated exponential shock waveform that it compensates for patient impedance by adjusting its timing parameter. If the user decides not to deliver a charge, the i-PAD NF1200 disarms itself by dumping the charge into an internal resistive load.The i-PAD NFI200 is capable of saving data and transmitting them to an external device.Indications for UseThe i-PAD NFI200 is used to treat a person suffering from sudden cardiac arrest(SCA) and who exhibits symptoms of· No movement and no response when shaken· No normal breathingContraindication for UseThe device must not be used on a person who:* Is moving or is responsive when shaken* Is breathing normallyTarget Patients* Adults* Children over 55 lbs or 8 years old* The device is not to be used on children below 8 years old or under 55 lbsIntended UserThe device is intended for use by persons:* who have been specifically trained in its operation* who have training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or other physician-authorized emergency medical response program in accordance with local and state requirements
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 audibly/visually instructs an operator to enable it to activate defibrillation of the heart through application of electrical shocks to the chest surface. It is placed in conspicuous public locations and is intended to be operated by a layperson. It consists of two skin-adhesive, cartridge-type, disposable electrodes containing non-rechargeable batteries that provide the shock energy, and an electrode-regulating external pulse generator (EPG), which may include a CPR feedback.
