INDICATIONS FOR USE/INTENDED USE The AED with STAR Biphasic Waveform is intended to be used by personnel who have been trained in its operation. The operator should be qualified by training in basic life support, CPR/AED or other physician-authorized emergency medical response. The device is indicated for emergency treatment of victims exhibiting symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest that are unresponsive and not breathing. If the victim is breathing post-resuscitation, the AED should be left attached to allow for acquisition and detection of the ECG rhythm. If a shockable ventricular tachyarrhythmia recurs, the device will charge automatically and advise the operator to deliver therapy.
WARNING: When the patient is a child or infant under 8 years of age or weighs less than 55 lbs (25kg), the AED should be used with the Model 9730 Pediatric Attenuated Defibrillation Electrode Pads. Therapy should not be delayed to determine the patient’s exact age or weight.
AED DESCRIPTION The AED is a self-testing, battery-operated automated external defibrillator (AED). After applying the AED pads to the patient’s chest, the AED automatically analyzes the patient’s electrocardiogram (ECG) and advises the operator to push the button and deliver a shock if needed. The AED uses one button and guides the operator through the rescue using a combination of voice prompts, audible alerts, and visible indicators.

SAFETY TERMS AND DEFINITIONS BEFORE OPERATING THE RESPONDER AED Become familiar with the various safety alerts in this section. Safety alerts identify potential hazards using symbols and words to explain what could potentially harm you, the patient, or the Responder AED.
SAFETY TERMS AND CONDITIONS The triangle attention symbol shown below, left, identifies the potential hazard categories. The definition of each category is as follows: DANGER: This alert identifies hazards that will cause serious personal injury or death. WARNING: This alert identifies hazards that may cause serious personal injury or death. CAUTION: This alert identifies hazards that may cause minor personal injury, product damage, or property damage.
SAFETY ALERT DESCRIPTIONS The following is a list of Responder AED safety alerts that appear in this section and throughout this manual. You must read, understand, and heed these safety alerts before attempting to operate the AED. DANGER: Fire and Explosion Hazard Do not use the AED in the presence of flammable gases (including concentrated oxygen) to avoid possible explosion or fire hazard. WARNING: Shock Hazard Defibrillation shock current flowing through unwanted pathways is potentially a serious electrical shock hazard. To avoid this hazard during defibrillation abide by all of the following: • Do not touch the patient, unless performance of CPR is indicated • Do not touch metal objects in contact with the patient • Keep defibrillation pads clear of other pads or metal parts in contact with patient • Disconnect all non-defibrillator proof equipment from the patient before defibrillation WARNING: Shock and Possible Equipment Damage Disconnect all non-defibrillator proof equipment from the patient before defibrillation to prevent electrical shock and potential damage to the equipment. WARNING: Electric Shock and Fire Hazard Do not connect any telephones or unauthorized connectors to the socket on this equipment. WARNING: Battery is Not Rechargeable Do not attempt to recharge the battery. Any attempt to recharge the battery may result in an explosion or fire hazard. WARNING: Shock Hazard Do not disassemble the AED! Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or death. Refer maintenance issues to authorized service personnel. CAUTION: Temperature/Humidity/Pressure Extremes Exposing the AED to extreme environmental conditions outside of its operating parameters may compromise the ability of the AED to function properly. The RescueReady® daily self-test verifies the impact of extreme environmental conditions on the AED by checking temperature, humidity and pressure; if the daily self-test determines environmental conditions outside of the AEDs operating parameters for 5 consecutive days, a "SERVICE REQUIRED" alert will be issued to prompt the user to move the AED to environmental conditions within the acceptable operating parameters at once. See Section 6 – Technical Data, Parameters, Operation and Standby Conditions. Page 4 of 51

Section 1: Introduction CAUTION: Lithium Sulfur Dioxide Battery Pressurized contents: Never recharge, short circuit, puncture, deform, or expose to temperatures above 65°C (149°F). Remove the battery when discharged. CAUTION: Battery Disposal Recycle or dispose of the lithium battery in accordance with all federal, state and local laws. To avoid fire and explosion hazard, do not burn or incinerate the battery. CAUTION: Use only GE Approved Equipment Using batteries, pads, cables, or optional equipment other than those approved by GE may cause the AED to function improperly during a rescue. CAUTION: Possible Improper AED Performance Using pads that are damaged or expired may result in improper AED performance. CAUTION: Serial Communication Cable The AED will not function during a rescue when the serial communication cable is connected to its serial port. When the serial communication cable is connected to the AED during a rescue, the prompt “Remove Cable to Continue Rescue” will be heard until you remove the serial communication cable. CAUTION: Possible Radio Frequency (RF) Susceptibility RF susceptibility from cellular phones, CB radios and FM 2-way radio may cause incorrect rhythm recognition and subsequent shock advisory. When attempting a rescue using the AED, do not operate wireless radiotelephones within 1 meter of the AED – turn power OFF to the radiotelephone and other like equipment near the incident. CAUTION: Possible Interference with Implanted Pacemaker Therapy should not be delayed for patients with implanted pacemakers and a defibrillation attempt should be made if the patient is unconscious and not breathing. The AED has pacemaker detection and rejection, however, with 1 some pacemakers the AED may not advise a defibrillation shock. Placing Pads: • Do not place the pads directly over an implanted device. • Place the pad at least one inch from any implanted device. CAUTION: Moving the Patient During a Rescue During a rescue attempt, excessive jostling or moving of the patient may cause AEDs to improperly analyze the patient’s cardiac rhythm. Stop all motion or vibration before attempting a rescue. CAUTION: Serial Communication Cable The serial communication cable is only for use with the AED; it is not to be used with a telephone. CAUTION: Systems Statement Equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be certified to the respective IEC Standards (i.e. IEC 60950-1 for data processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore, all configurations shall comply with the system standard IEC 60601-1-1. Anybody who connects additional equipment to the signal input part or signal output part configures a medical system, and is therefore, responsible that the system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC 60601-1-1. CAUTION: Case Cleaning Solutions When disinfecting the case, use a non-oxidizing disinfectant, such as ammonium salts or a glutaraldehyde based cleaning solution, to avoid damage to the metal connectors. CAUTION: The AED is programmed with software that has been tested to work with versions of ServiceLink and RescueLink that are included with the AED. When older versions of ServiceLink and RescueLink are used to communicate with this AED, there may be features described in this manual that are not available to be used. Also, when communicating with an older AED with the version of ServiceLink and RescueLink included with this new AED there may be features described in this manual that cannot be edited. The software in most cases will give an error message when incompatibilities occur.

The SmartGauge Battery Status Indicator has five (5) LEDs, four (4) green and one (1) red. The right four green LEDs display the remaining capacity of the battery much like a fuel gauge. With use, the green LEDs gradually go out, from right to left, as battery capacity decreases. When the green LEDs go out and the red LED lights up, replace the battery.
100%
Note: When the red LED initially lights up – upon lid opening or at any time during a rescue – a “Battery Low” prompt will be issued at once. However, the AED is capable of delivering at least 9 more defibrillation shocks after the first “Battery Low” prompt is issued. When the AED battery cannot deliver any more shocks, the AED display will show "BATTERY LOW", the STATUS INDICATOR will be RED and the device will "beep" every 30 seconds.. To continue the rescue, leave the lid open, remove the battery, and replace with a fresh battery. If battery replacement takes longer than 60 seconds, the first rescue will be terminated and a second rescue will begin upon opening the lid.
PADS INDICATOR The PADS LED lights up when the pads are: •
Not properly connected to the AED
•
Not within operational specifications (cold, dried, damaged).
•
Disconnected from the patient during a rescue.
SERVICE INDICATOR The SERVICE LED lights up when the AED requires maintenance that can only be performed by qualified service personnel. Note: When Status Indicator is RED or Service Indicator is illuminated, device cannot be used to perform a rescue.
SHOCK/CONTINUE BUTTON •
