2 Intended use

Telefunken AED is a public access defibrillator (PAD) as well as an automatic external defibrillator

(AED). The device is a tool for the reanimation of patients that weight at least 20 kg and show signs

of a cardiac arrest, mostly by ventricular fibrillation.

In these cases Telefunken AED can be used to carry out the needed defibrillation.

The user is guided through the process of reanimation with clear and comprehensible commands in

form of speech output and optical directions. The device automatically stores and analy

patient's ECG curve. In case of need it prepares an electrical charge. After this the device requests

the user to press a button in order to release the shock.

In case an electrical charge needs to be applied to the patient, there are two versions

AED, depending on the country where the device is sold:

4 Description of the device

4.1 General description

The DEFITEQ™ Telefunken AED (PAD = Public Access Defibrillator) is an automatic external

defibrillator (AED) with an integrated single channel ECG.

The ECG is recorded using the DEFITEQ™ Electrodes. The algorithm implemented recognises

potentially fatal heart arrhythmia. The defibrillator generates the electric shock necessary to

reanimate a patient with a shockable ECG rhythm. This method is the generally recognised

therapy.

The DEFITEQ™ Telefunken AED product family has been designed to be safe and quick to use

in an emergency. All functional units are operating elements subject to the following

principles:

• Clear organisation of functional units

• Reduction of functions to what is necessary

• Intuitive and logical operator guidance

• Clear, self-explanatory operating elements

• Ergonomic layout.

The defibrillator unit has been optimised to be safe and very quickly ready to use. The

loading time for a defibrillation is approx. 12 seconds with a battery capacity of approx. 90 %

of the rated value.

The power supply of the DEFITEQ™ Telefunken AED comes from a disposable alkaline

battery.

The DEFITEQ™ Telefunken AED can be stored on a DEFITEQ™ wall mount rack which can be

affixed to a wall. It is easy and quick to remove the DEFITEQ™ Telefunken AED when you

need it.

Note The wall bracket and accessories are described in separate operating

instructions.

7.4 Determining the position of the electrodes

Fig. 8: Positions of electrodes on the patient

The positions of the electrodes are:

• On the right chest area, below the collar bone (1) and

• On the left chest area above the apex of the heart on the axillary line (2).

7.5 Removing hair growth from chest

If the patient has hair growing where the electrodes need to be positioned, you must remove

it.

Use the enclosed razor to remove the hair from the electrode positions.

Note Excessive hair can greatly increase the resistance between the adhesive

electrodes and the surface of the skin thus reducing the effectiveness of

the electric shock.

7.9 Checking the electrodes

If the device notifies a fault, this could be for several reasons:

• Electrode plug not plugged in

• There is contact between the defibrillation electrodes or

a conductive gel connection.

• Hair on patient has not been removed

• Air pockets between skin and defibrillation electrodes cause a bad contact.

• Dried out electrodes.

Remedy the cause of the fault.

• Check if electrode plug is inserted correctly

• Check if electrodes are positioned on the correct part of the body

• Check if electrodes don’t touch each other

• Check if Excessive hair on chest has been removed, if not than do so

• Check on air bubbles between electrodes and skin, if yes smooth them

• Check expiration date of the electrodes

12 Technical Description

The cardio-biphasic shock pulse

The cardio-biphasic shock pulse is characterized by limitation of the maximum current. Myocardial

dam-age, usually caused by electric currents which are too high, in particular at low patient

impedances, is considerably reduced.

Functional principle If the current exceeds the specified nominal value, the supply of current is

interrupted. Inductance in the conductive path means that current continues to flow to the patient,

but gradually falls. If the current drops below the specified value by more than one ampere, the cur-

rent supply is switched back on. The current flowing to the patient accordingly rises again. A saw

tooth-type pulse forms.

Principal form of the cardio-biphasic shock pulse.

The relationship of electrical charge delivered (integral of current over time) between the second

(negative) and first (positive) phase averages 0.38.

13 Rhythm detection system

The rhythm detection system of the Telefunken AED analyses the patient's ECG and supports

you if the device identifies a shockable or a non-shockable rhythm.

The device's rhythm detection system includes:

Ascertaining the electrode contact

Automatic evaluation of the ECG

Operator control of the defibrillation shock therapy

The transthoracic impedance of the patient is measured by the defibrillation electrodes. If

the baseline impedance is greater that the maximum critical value, the device detects that

the electrodes are not in good enough contact with the patient or that, they are not

connected properly to the device. ECG analysis and dispensation of defibrillation shocks are

therefore prevented. The voice output says "Stick electrodes on the patients bare chest" if

the contact of the electrodes is insufficient.

Automatic Interpretation of the ECG

The device's rhythm detection system has been designed so that a defibrillation shock is

recommended if the system has been connected up to a patient who is unconscious, not

breathing and has no pulse and the system ascertains a shockable rhythm.

With all other ECG rhythms, including asystolia and normal sinus rhythms, the rhythm

detection system in the device does not recommend defibrillation.

Operator control of the output of defibrillation shocks

The device's rhythm detection system triggers automatic charging of power if the device

ascertains a shockable cardiac rhythm. Optical and acoustic messages are emitted to show

you that the device recommends giving a defibrillation shock. If a defibrillation shock is

recommended, you decide whether and when the shock is to be given.

17 Annex - Rhythm Analysis Detector

According to IEC / EN60601-2-4 it is an essential performance requirement for a defibrillator to “accurately differentiate between shockable and nonshockable rhythms”. This is also defined in the Requirements for RHYTHM RECOGNITION DETECTOR where the sensitivity of the device to recognize VF at peak to peak amplitude of 200 µV or higher shall exceed 90% in the absence of artefacts. For devices which detect VT, the sensitivity shall exceed 75%. The specificity of the detector in correctly differentiating non-shockable rhythms shall exceed 95% in the absence of artefacts.

1. Test of the rhythm analysis detector

a. Test databank [Databank1]

For the tests of the VF/VT recognition algorithm, data was taken from the CU (Creighton University) Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia databank. This database includes 35 eight-minute ECG recordings of human subjects who experienced episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular flutter, and ventricular fibrillation. Record cu01 was obtained from a long-term ECG (Holter) recording (played back at real time for digitization); the other records were digitized in real time from high-level (1 V/mV nominal) analog signals from patient monitors. All signals were passed through an active second-order Bessel low-pass filter with a cut-off of 70 Hz, and were digitized at 250 Hz with 12-bit resolution over a 10 V range (10 mV nominal relative to the unamplified signals). Each record contains 127,232 samples (slightly less than 8.5 minutes). In episodes of cardiac failure, fibrillation is almost always preceded by a run of ventricular tachycardia, which eventually gives way to the fibrillation itself. The onset of fibrillation is extremely difficult to pinpoint in many cases. Any clinically useful detector should respond to the runs of tachycardia preceding fibrillation, since medical intervention is needed at the earliest opportunity. Thus any detector responding to the premonitory tachycardia can exhibit a negative “time to alarm” compared to the onset of fibrillation as recorded in the reference annotation files. For this reason, the database is defined as a tachyarrhythmia database rather than a fibrillation database. In these records, the minimum number of non-VF beats prior to the onset of a VF episode is 61. The mean time interval from the beginning of the record to the onset of VF is 5:47 (with a standard deviation of 2:01). Repeated defibrillation attempts are visible in many records. The reference annotation files supplied for this database have been included to aid users in locating events of interest. They are in no sense definitive. All beats are labelled normal (although many are ectopic). VF onset annotations mark only the approximate beginnings of VF episodes.

b. Rhythm selection criteria

The ECG data from the CU database was divided into two groups – “Shockable” and “Nonshockable” rhythms. All ECG signals from the CU databank were divided into 20 second segments. The 20 second period was chosen to accommodate both pre and post rhythm analysis cycles (Voice prompt delivery and analysis time). To avoid loss of signals, there is a 10 second overlap between two segments (see Figure 1).

Page 53: Telefunken AED User Manual English V2.3 2012 · Servicing check list 39 8.3. Dispatching the DEFITEQ™ Telefunken AED 40 9. Disposal 41 ... Telefunken AED is a public access defibrillator

53

All 20 second segments together led to a total number of 1187 ECG signals in the nonshockable group and 200 ECG signals in the shockable group. These ECG segments were fed through to the device and the recognition decisions on rhythm analysis were recorded through the voice prompts.

ECG-signals prepared for Test

According to the standard • A true positive (A) is a correct classification of a shockable rhythm. • A true negative (D) is a correct classification of all rhythms for which a shock is not indicated. • A false positive (B) is an organized or perfusing rhythm or asystole that has been incorrectly classified as a shockable rhythm. • A false negative (C) is a VF or VT associated with cardiac arrest that has been incorrectly classified as non-shockable. The sensitivity of the device for shockable rhythms is A / (A+C) The true predictive value is expressed as A / (A+B) The specificity of the device for non-shockable rhythms is D / (B+D) The false positive rate is expressed as B / (B+D)

c. Test results

The results of the tests are shown in the tables below: True Positives (A) False Positives (B) False Negatives (C) True Negatives (D) 192 26 8 1161 Specifity Sensitivity True predictive value False positive rate 1161 / (1161+26) x 100% = 97,8%

192 / (192 + 8) x 100% = 96%

192 / (192 + 26) x 100% = 88%

26 / (26 + 1161) x 100% = 2,2%

d. Conclusion

Sensitivity and specificity comply with all requirements set by IEC/EN 60601-2-4 and ANSI/AAMI DF80.

2. VERIFICATION OF ECG SIGNAL QUALITY ANALYSIS

The VF/VT Analysis algorithm evaluates the signal quality of ECG. Artefacts in the ECG signal that may have been introduced due to motion artefacts or noise are detected and taken into consideration. The VF/VT algorithm requires 9 seconds to decide whether the ECG rhythm is shockable or non-shockable. If artefacts are found in the signal, time taken for analysis is longer. The algorithm makes a decision only if no artefacts are present in the signal and if an accurate decision can be made. If no rhythm detection can be made 15 seconds after the analysis has begun, movement detection error is logged. The user is again advised not to touch or move the patient and the ECG analysis restarts. If artefacts are again found during the analysis re-run, the CPR cycle (Chest compressions and Ventilation) automatically begins.

a. Objective To evaluate and verify ECG signal quality analysis system.

b. Test Databank In this test, ECG data from a test databank is tested. The test is executed embedding the analysis algorithm Matlab/Simulink data is evaluated considering different parameters of the algorithms. The source for the ECG data is the Physionet Databank:

1. MIT-BIH Noise Stress Test Database [Databank2] This database includes 12 half-hour ECG recordings and 3 half-hour recordings of noise typical in ambulatory ECG recordings. The noise recordings were made using physically active volunteers and standard ECG recorders, leads, and electrodes; the electrodes were placed on the limbs in positions in which the subjects' ECGs were not visible. The three noise records were assembled from the recordings by selecting intervals that contained predominantly baseline wander (in record 'bw'), muscle (EMG) artefact (in record 'ma'), and electrode motion artefact (in record 'em'). Electrode motion artefact is generally considered the most troublesome, since it can mimic the appearance of ectopic beats and cannot be removed easily by simple filters, as can noise of other types. Noise was added at the beginning after the first 5 minutes of each record, consisting of two-minute segments alternating with two-minute clean segments. Since the original ECG recordings are clean, the correct beat annotations are known even when the noise makes the recordings visually unreadable. The reference annotations for these records are simply copies of those for the original clean ECGs.

2. Creighton University Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia Database [Databank1] (http://physionet.org/physiobank/database/cudb/ )

c. Procedure For the artefact free ECG signal, the analysis was complete in exactly 9 seconds. With the presence of artefacts, the analysis took longer to complete. After 15 seconds, when no analysis result could be determined, “Movement detected” was logged.

d. Results

55

The signal quality analysis system recognizes artefacts in the signal and delays the decision of the algorithm in case of bad signal quality. Bad signal quality (caused e.g. by movement) is reported by voice prompt “Movement detected” after the defined timeout of 15 seconds.
