Rectilinear Biphasic Waveform Characteristics
The following table shows the characteristics of the Rectilinear Biphasic waveform when
discharged into 25 ohm, 50 ohm, 100 ohm, and 125 ohm loads at the maximum energy setting
of 200 joules.
The AED Pro 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 as the ZOLL M Series®. The ZOLL M Series and
AED Pro defibrillation waveforms are considered substantially equivalent.
Figures A-1 through A-6 show the Rectilinear Biphasic waveforms that are produced when the
AED Pro defibrillator is discharged into loads of 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, and 175 ohms at
each energy setting (200, 150, 120, 85, 70, and 50 joules).
The vertical axis shows the current in amperes (A); the horizontal axis shows the duration in
milliseconds (ms).
