External Defibrillator ZED-A101

External Defibrillator ZED-A101

Defibrillator ZED-A101 is emergency care unit diagnoses sudden cardiac arrest and treat by monophasic defibrillation. Monophasic defibrillator device allow the current to be given in a single direction which restore a normal heart rate, hence containing single peak.

Frequently Asked Question

1. What environments is this defibrillator best suited for?

This defibrillator is ideal for: Hospitals and clinics with trained staff Emergency response vehicles (ambulances) Rural or developing regions where basic power infrastructure is available Educational settings for training medical students in manual defibrillation

2. Is the defibrillator automated or manually controlled?

This is a manual defibrillator, meaning a trained professional must assess the patient’s ECG rhythm, choose the appropriate energy level, and deliver the shock. It offers precision but requires medical expertise.

3. Is this defibrillator suitable for use in ambulances or remote locations?

Yes. The unit features an internal rechargeable NiMH battery, allowing it to function without being plugged in—ideal for ambulance use, field emergencies, or temporary power outages.

4. How fast can the defibrillator charge to maximum energy?

The device charges up to the maximum energy level of 360 J in approximately 10 seconds, ensuring quick response during cardiac emergencies where every second counts.

5. What is a monophasic defibrillator and how does it work?

A monophasic defibrillator delivers a single, unidirectional pulse of electrical current to the heart. It works by depolarizing a large portion of the heart muscle to stop arrhythmias (like ventricular fibrillation) and allow the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm. While newer biphasic models are more common today, monophasic defibrillators remain effective and are still in use in many settings.

6. What are the different types of defibrillators?

There are three main types of defibrillators: Automated External Defibrillator (AED): Used by the general public and first responders. Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD): Surgically implanted in patients at high risk of cardiac arrest. Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD): Worn externally for temporary heart monitoring and shock delivery.

7. Who can use a defibrillator?

Most modern Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are designed for use by anyone, even without medical training. They provide voice and visual instructions to guide users through the process.

8. When should a defibrillator be used?

A defibrillator should be used if someone collapses, is unresponsive, and has no normal breathing or pulse. Early defibrillation significantly improves survival chances.

9. Can a defibrillator be used on children?

Yes, many AEDs have pediatric pads or settings to adjust the shock level for children under 8 years old or under 55 lbs (25 kg). If pediatric pads are unavailable, standard adult pads can be used, but should be placed correctly.

10. Do defibrillators require maintenance?

Yes. AEDs require regular battery checks, electrode pad replacement, and software updates according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Some models perform self-checks and alert users when maintenance is needed.
