In public places,such as metro station,airport,With the development and wide application of ECG Defibrillator ,Defibrillator manufacturers pay more attention to the ECG signal.such as in the latest zoll onestep cable,there are 3 separate ECG lead cable for defib with grahene coating (which is to assure a Low Noise performance,see the right picture :Flat ribbon cable)
Difibrillator Voltage And Difficulty In AED Cable Design & Production
As a main first aid life saving devices, Zero-failure is the common will for the paddle/Pads manufacturer and defibrillator cable wire manufacturer. Any Lead failure may lead to death or heart damage.PS(:Lead failure was defined as: failure to capture/sense, abnormal pacing and/or defibrillator impedance, visual insulation defect or lead fracture, extracardiac stimulation, cardiac perforation, tricuspid valve entrapment, lead tip fracture and/or lead dislodgment)
The defibrillator voltage is usually know as 3000-volt charge in less than 0.001.Some brand clain 200-1000 voltage and somee brands clain 5000-volt charge in less than 0.001 .If you are not sure on the voltage,you may focus on the Joules (Monophasic Waveform Defibrillators 360J,Biphasic Waveform Defibrillators 150J-200J ) .Voltage drop is another key factor for AED cable. a common AED paddle cable has 3-5 meters stretched length(it will be 40-50cm after coiling,for easy collection). In Some ICU,a AED cable stretched length may even reach 9 meters(in this way,operator do not need to move the defibrillator ,and can fast defibrillate because of the long range of the AED electrode. Defib Energe insufficience will lead to difibrillation failure,further damage to heart ,even death
