ABOUT cprMAX TECHNOLOGY
Physio-Control cprMAX technology is designed to allow resuscitation protocols to maximize the
quantity of CPR administered during treatment with an AED, consistent with the 2005 American
Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency
Cardiovascular Care
1 (AHA Guidelines) and the European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for
Resuscitation 2005 2 (ERC Guidelines).
Setup options should be changed only under the direction of a physician knowledgeable in
cardiopulmonary resuscitation who is familiar with the literature in this area.
The cprMAX technology includes the following setup options:
• INITIAL CPR . Prompts the user to perform an initial period of CPR. Applies only to
immediately after turning on the AED or after the first analysis.
• PRESHOCK CPR T ime. Prompts for CPR after a shockable ECG rhythm is detected, before
the shock is delivered. If INITIAL CPR is set to OFF , then PRESHOCK CPR applies to all shock
advised decisions (including the first analysis).
• CPR TIME 1 and 2 . CPR time periods after shocks or no shock advised decisions
respectively.
• STACKED SHOCKS . Eliminates the analysis after each shock and inserts prompting for CPR
after each shock; when set to OFF , eliminates the three-stack shock.
• PULSE CHECK . Indicates when, if ever, the device is to prompt for pulse checks.
AED protocols are aligned with the AHA and ERC Guidelines when the setup options are set as
follows:
• Initial CPR: OFF
• PreShock CPR Time: OFF
• CPR Times 1 and 2: 120 SECONDS
• Stacked Shocks: OFF
• Pulse Check: NEVER
The above options are the factory default settings for cprMAX technology. Your medical director
protocols should determine whether or not to change the options and should ensure that you
receive training.
AED OPERATION WITH cprMAX TECHNOLOGY
The following paragraphs describe AED operation with cprMAX technology setup options.
Initial CPR
The INITIAL CPR option prompts the user to perform an initial period of CPR. The choices are:
OFF , ANALYZE FIRST and CPR FIRST . The factory default is OFF .
• The OFF setting has no prompting for an initial CPR period.
• The ANALYZE FIRST setting prompts for analysis and then CPR. If the analysis determines
