HeartSave myPAD Device Description

Chapter 5 - Equipment Structure and Function Description

This device is an automated external defibrillator (AED) that integrates a single-channel electrocardiogram (ECG). The ECG is recorded via electrodes. When a rhythm requiring defibrillation is detected, the device delivers an electric shock to restore the heart rhythm.

5.1 General Instructions

Two types of product models are provided: semi-automatic and fully automatic. The characteristics of each model are detailed in the table below.

semi-automatic model

Defibrillation mode Model Impact button LCD screen touchscreen
Heart saves myPAD 670 No No No
671 yes No No
675 yes yes No
678 yes yes yes

Fully automated model

Defibrillation mode Model Impact button LCD screen touchscreen
Heart saves myPAD 670A No No No
671A No No No
675A yes yes No
678A yes yes yes

myPAD uses a battery and electrodes. See Chapter 5.2 for details.

The myPAD is designed for safe and quick use in emergencies. The device is powered by a non-rechargeable (Battery 3C) or rechargeable (Battery 3G, optional) lithium battery.
