Rectilinear Biphasic Waveform Characteristics
The following table shows the Rectilinear Biphasic waveform’s characteristics when discharged into
25 ohm, 50 ohm, 100 ohm, and 125 ohm loads at a maximum energy setting of 200 joules.

The efficacy of ZOLL’s Rectilinear Biphasic Waveform has been clinically verified during a Ventricular
Fibrillation (VF) and Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) defibrillation study. This study (which was
conducted using ZOLL M Series defibrillators) and the findings are described below. Since the AED
Plus’s Rectilinear Biphasic Waveform employs the same first and second phase timing, similar first and
second phase currents/voltages and essentially the same mechanisms for controlling defibrillation
waveshape, the M Series
®
and AED Plus defibrillation waveforms are considered substantially
equivalent.
