FRED PA-1
2.2 Design
Defibrillator
FRED PA-1
®
is a defibrillator featuring the BTE (biphasic truncated exponential)
waveform. The patient receives a defibrillation shock using disposable electrodes.
The ECG signal is analysed using the same electrodes.
Moreover, the user is guided by voice prompts and pictograms (loudspeaker/LEDs
next to pictograms). The device recognises the connected electrodes (adult or chil-
dren electrodes) and selects the defibrillation energy accordingly. An RFID tag in the
connector (for electrodes with article no. 0-21-0040) allows checking the shelf life of
the electrodes, when connected to the device.
Languages
The device can be provided with different languages. Optional configuration with 3
languages, selectable after switching the device on.
Metronome
The
FRED PA-1
®
sets a configurable pace for the cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR).
FreeCPR (option)
Information on the chest compression frequency using impedance variation acquired
with defibrillation pads.
Data memory
The device is equipped with an internal memory. During the intervention, data can
therefore be saved, including the analysed ECG data. In addition, technical data
(logs) will be stored.
Data transmission
The
FRED PA-1
®
has a SD card slot in order to retrieve the data via SD card.
Power supply (standard)
The device is operated with a non rechargeable, disposable lithium battery. The bat-
tery capacity is sufficient for:
• more than 140 shocks at maximum energy, if the device is stored/used in optimal
temperature conditions between 15 ... 25 °C.
Available versions
Semi- or fully automatic defibrillator
