INTRODUCTION

Introduction

DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE

The AED Trainer 3 is designed to prepare emergency responders to use the HeartStar t FR3 automatic external defibrillator (AED) and other AEDs. Together with appropriate manikins, the AED Trainer 3 is intended to give realistic training on delivering correct treatment, including shock delivery and CPR, to a cardiac arrest victim.

The AED Trainer 3 provides eight training scenarios that simulate realistic episodes of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and help responders become familiar with use of the HeartStart FR3 AED in an emergency. These scenarios are compatible with training programs developed by internationally recognized responder programs.

The AED Trainer 3 is shipped with a factory default setup that complies with the ERC (European Resuscitation Council) and AHA (American Heart Association) 2010 Guidelines. The device may also be configured to conform to local protocols or Guideline Updates.

Note: Before using the HeartStart FR3 Defibrillator, the responder should have completed an appropriate responder training program, which may include the use of the AED Trainer 3. Having completed such a course, the responder should demonstrate a proficiency in assessing the patient for lack of responsiveness and absence of breathing, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and knowledge of applicable medical protocols and procedures.

FEATURES

The AED Trainer 3 is designed to replicate the operation of the Hear tStart FR3 AED. However, it has no high-voltage capabilities, ensuring safety during training. It provides simulated shock delivery.

The AED Trainer 3 can be used to provide training on the following key features of the HeartStar t FR3 AED:

• Fast delivery of therapy. The AED Trainer 3 carry case duplicates the auto-on feature of the FR3 rigid system case. When the case is opened, the AED Trainer 3 automatically turns on.

• Pre-connected pads. Like the FR3 AED, the AED Trainer 3 uses pre-connected pads to help optimize response time.

• Infant/Child Key. The AED Trainer 3 comes with a Training Infant/Child Key to replicate the infant/child mode of the FR3 AED.

• Voice prompts. The AED Trainer 3 guides you through each step of the training scenario with the same voice prompts as the FR3 AED.

• Extensive configurability. Like the FR3 AED, the AED Trainer 3 configuration can be customized and its operation easily updated as needed.

Note: The Training Infant/Child Key cannot be used with the HeartStart FR3 AED. An FR3 Infant/Child Key is required for

use with the AED.
