## Indications for use
The Powerheart ECD defibrillator system is intended to be used by personnel who have been trained in its operation. The Powerheart ECD is indicated for the termination of certain fatal arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation and symptomatic ventricular tachycardia. Delivery of energy in the synchronized mode is a method for treating atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and in relatively stable patients, ventricular tachycardia. The semi-automatic advisory mode is for use in cardiac arrest in patients of at least 8 years of age. The patient must be unconscious, pulseless, and not breathing spontaneously before using the defibrillator to analyze the patient's ECG rhythm. The Powerheart ECD 3-lead and 5-lead ECG monitoring allows for identification or interpretation of cardiac rhythms or dysrhythmias and calculation of heart rate. The Powerheart ECD noninvasive pacing as a therapy is indicated for patients with symptomatic bradycardia or asystole. The Powerheart ECD pulse oximetry is intended for the continuous external monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate and is indicated for use in any patient who is at risk of developing hypoxemia.
