Operator Training Requirements; Operator Training Requirements - GE AED Pro Service Manual

SVT RATE
All rhythms with rates between the Detection Rate and SVT Rate will be screened through a number of SVT
Discriminators to classify them into VF/VT or SVT. Rhythms classified as SVT between the two set rates are not
shockable. All SVT rhythms above the rates will be classified as shockable. The SVT Rate must be greater than the
Detection Rate and is selectable by Service between 160 and 300 bpm or, "NO THERAPY FOR SVT" can be selected by
Service using the ServiceLink software.
RESCUE PROTOCOL
The AED rescue protocol is consistent with the guidelines recommended by the American Heart
Association (AHA)
on Resuscitation (ILCOR).
Upon detecting a shockable cardiac rhythm, the AED advises the operator to press the SHOCK button to deliver a shock
and then advises the operator to start CPR.
Note: The standard CPR protocol of 120 seconds can be modified from 60 to 180 seconds in ServiceLink
