A manual defibrillator is a device that is used to give an electric shock to the heart in order to try and restore a normal heart rhythm. It is similar to an AED, which is an automated version of a manual defibrillator.

However, there are some key differences between the two. A manual defibrillator is usually operated by a trained medical professional, whereas an AED can be used by anyone who has been trained to use it.

Both manual and automated defibrillators can give electrical shocks to the heart that can restart it with a normal rhythm. This is most effective if done within the first 3 to 10 minutes of cardiac arrest. It is important to note that this treatment is only effective in certain cases like ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia but not in cases like asystole or pulseless electrical activity.

Because the operator has to manually set the energy level, using a manual defibrillator requires specialized training in advanced cardiac life support. Unlike AEDs, manual defibrillators do not have built-in safety features that would warn the operator if the shock is not needed.

Introduction: Equipment-related issues have recently been cited as a significant contributor to the suboptimal outcomes of resuscitation management. A systematic evaluation of the human-device interface was undertaken to evaluate the intuitive nature of three different defibrillators. Devices tested were the Physio-Control LifePak 15, the Zoll R Series Plus, and the Philips MRx.

Methods: A convenience sample of 73 multidisciplinary health care providers from 5 different hospitals participated in this study. All subjects' performances were evaluated without any training on the devices being studied to assess the intuitiveness of the user interface to perform the functions of delivering an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) shock, a manual defibrillation, pacing to achieve 100% capture, and synchronized cardioversion on a rhythm simulator.

Results: Times to deliver an AED shock were fastest with the Zoll, whereas the Philips had the fastest times to deliver a manual defibrillation. Subjects took the least time to attain 100% capture for pacing with the Physio-Control device. No differences in performance times were seen with synchronized cardioversion among the devices. Human factors issues uncovered during this study included a preference for knobs over soft keys and a desire for clarity in control panel design. This study demonstrated no clearly superior defibrillator, as each of the models exhibited strengths in different areas. When asked their defibrillator preference, 67% of subjects chose the Philips.

Conclusions: This comparison of user interfaces of defibrillators in simulated situations allows the assessment of usability that can provide manufacturers and educators with feedback about defibrillator implementation for these critical care devices.

The Philips HeartStart XL Defibrillator, at just under 14 lbs., is easily transported throughout the hospital to the site where cardiac care is needed. A combination manual device with automated external defibrillator capabilities, HeartStart XL enables the first caregiver on the scene, whether an ACLS or BLS clinician, to deliver lifesaving defibrillation therapy.

Upon the arrival of ACLS personnel, HeartStart XL is easily switched between AED to manual mode, allowing operators to access the unit's advanced therapeutic features such as selectable energy (2 to 200 Joules), non-invasive pacing (optional), SpO2 (optional) and synchronized cardioversion.

HeartStart Adult AED Defibrillator Pads may also be used with defibrillators from other manufacturers, using Philips HeartStart Adapters, whether defibrillators are manual or automated. The adapters allow ALS caregivers to connect the pads to their manual defibrillator. Adapters cannot be used with FR2 Infant/Child Reduced-Energy Defibrillator Pads. The removable 05-10100 adapter is for Zoll 1200, 1400, 1600 and M-series defibrillators.

Discount Cardiology is one of the largest wholesalers of Defibrillators and AEDs. The Philips Heartstart XLT is the most saught after defibrillator/ monitor for EMTs. Its durablity, ease of use, and price are the attributes that customers love in the Philips AEDs and Defibrillators. Also, comparable to the Philips MRX Defibrillator-Monitor. In automated mode, clear, concise voice prompts guide users through the defibrillation process, while an easy-to-read LCD displays the ECG waveform. When switched to manual mode, Philips HeartStart XLT is a manual defibrillator/monitor, offering true 1-2-3 operation. ACLS caregivers can select from a range of energy levels for defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion. ECG monitoring provides key information needed for rapid intervention and thorough care. Optional non-invasive pacing and SpO2 monitoring can be added.

HeartStart XLT, a lightweight defibrillator / monitor for use by both EMTs and paramedics, switches from automated to manual operation with the press of a button, and charges to its highest energy setting within three seconds.
