86 Specifications Welch Allyn AED 10 Automated External DefibrillatorConclusionThe MRL Orbital Biphasic waveform was as effective as the 2kV Biphasic waveform inthis model of a higher impedance patient. When these devices are compared on the basisof peak current, the MRL Orbital Biphasic required less peak current than the 2kVBiphasic waveform.Rationale for animal studiesElectrical waveforms for transthoracic ventricular defibrillation have been well studied fornearly 50 years. These studies led to the development of monophasic waveforms such asthe Edmark, Lown, and truncated exponential waveforms that have now been used inhumans for over 30 years. Starting in the early 1980s, biphasic waveforms have beenextensively studied in animal models of transthoracic ventricular defibrillation. Thesestudies have shown that a wide variety of biphasic waveforms exhibited superiordefibrillation effectiveness to these conventional monophasic waveforms. In many cases,the waveform comparisons performed in animals were repeated in clinical trials involvinghumans. These studies have conclusively demonstrated that well-designed animal studiescan and do predict the results that will be observed in humans.The reasons for conducting animal trials (as opposed to additional human clinical studies)are:1. Animal studies can use a much larger sample size (more shocks per subject), andthus, result in far more accurate comparisons.2. Animal studies do not place human subjects at risk from additional (and clinicallyunneeded) shocks.3. The animal hearts can be inspected for damage after the defibrillation studies.Waveform safety and effectiveness conclusionsThese scientific studies have demonstrated that:• The data suggests that the MRL Orbital Biphasic waveform in the Welch Allyn AED 10is at least as effective as, and may be more effective than either of the two testedmonophasic waveforms, appearing to allow termination of fibrillation episodes usinglower energies.• The MRL Orbital Biphasic waveform in the Welch Allyn AED 10 is as effective as the2kV biphasic truncated exponential waveform in another commercially availabledefibrillator.• The MRL Orbital Biphasic waveform in the Welch Allyn AED 10 requires less peakcurrent to achieve defibrillation effectiveness than either of the two monophasicwaveforms or the 2kV biphasic truncated exponential waveform that is used inanother commercially available defibrillator.
