Solicitation Attachment 3: Defibrillator Technical Capability Evaluation Spreadsheet

Column A Column B Column C

Required Capabilities IAW Solicitation Meets Requirements

Yes/No Comments

Defibrillator

Waveform: Truncated Exponential

Biphasic; waveform parameters adjusted as a function of each patient’s impedance

Therapy: Adult defibrillation: peak current

32 A (150 J nominal into a 50-ohm load)

Pediatric defibrillation with optional

Infant/Child SMART Pads cartridge installed: nominal peak current 16 A (50 J nominal into 50-ohm load)

Shock-to-shock cycle time: Typically, less than 20 seconds between shocks in a series

Quick Shock: Able to deliver a shock after the last chest compression of a CPR interval, typically in 8 seconds

Voice instructions: Detailed voice messages guide responder through use of the defibrillator

CPR coaching: Instructions for adult or infant/child CPR available at user’s option

Shock delivery: Via adhesive pads placed on patient’s bare skin as illustrated on pads

Controls: Green SMART Pads cartridge handle, green On/Off button, blue-lit i-button, orange Shock button

Indicators: Ready light; blue-lit i-button;

caution light, Shock button lights up when shock is advised

Shock/drop abuse: Withstands one-meter drop to any edge, corner or surface

Vibration: Meets EN1789 random and swept sine, road ambulance specification in operating and standby states

EMI (radiated/immunity): Meets CISPR

11 Group 1 Class B and IEC 61000-4-3

Infrared: Wireless transmission of event data to a PC using the IrDA protocol

Data stored: First 15 minutes of ECG and the entire incident’s events and analysis decisions

Patient analysis: Evaluates patient ECG to determine if a rhythm is shockable.

Rhythms considered shockable are ventricular fibrillation (VF) and certain ventricular tachycardias (VT) associated with lack of circulation. For safety reasons, some VT rhythms associated with circulation will not be interpreted as shockable, and some very low-amplitude or low-frequency rhythms will not be interpreted as shockable VF.

Sensitivity/specificity: Meets AAMI DF80 guidelines and AHA recommendations for adult defibrillation (Circulation 1997;

95:1677-1682)

Artifact detection: The effects of pacemaker artifact and electrical noise are minimized

Daily automatic self-tests: Tests internal circuitry, waveform delivery system, pads cartridge, and battery capacity

Pads integrity test: Specifically tests readiness-for-use of pads (gel moisture)

Battery insertion test: Upon battery insertion, extensive automatic self-tests and user-interactive test check device readiness

Status Indicators: Blinking green “Ready” light indicates ready for use; audible

“chirp” indicates need for maintenance
