The AED Rescue SAM is a high-performance semi-automatic external defibrillator (AED) built to support both trained responders and lay rescuers during cardiac emergencies. It analyzes the patient’s heart rhythm and advises when a shock is required, while guiding the user step-by-step through clear voice prompts and visual indicators.
Defibrillation & Performance
The Rescue SAM uses a Biphasic Truncated Exponential (BTE) waveform with impedance compensation to deliver safe and effective therapy. It provides a fixed 200J shock for adults, in line with ERC 2015 guidelines, and delivers reduced energy (<50J) for children when used with optional pediatric pads.
- Analysis time: ~6 seconds
- Charging time after “shock advised”: <6 seconds (with new battery)
- Shock energy accuracy: compliant with IEC EN 60601-2-4
