## Indications for use
The Powerheart AED is intended for use by personnel who have been trained in its operation. The user should be qualified by training in basic life support or other physician-authorized emergency medical response. The device is indicated for emergency treatment of victims exhibiting symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest who are unresponsive and not breathing. Post-resuscitation, if the victim is breathing, the AED should be left attached to allow for acquisition and detection of the ECG rhythm. If a shockable ventricular tachyarrythmia recurs, the device will charge automatically and advise the operator to deliver therapy. When the patient is a child or infant is up to 8 years of age, or up to 55 lbs (25kg), the Powerheart AED should be used with the Model 9730 Pediatric Attenuated Defibrillation Electrodes. The therapy should not be delayed to determine the patient's exact age or weight.
