Introduction and Intended Use
The HeartStart Trainer M5086A is designed to prepare emergency responders
to use the HeartStart HS1 Defibrillators, including the Laerdal HeartStart
Defibrillator M5067A.The HeartStart Trainer cannot be used to deliver defibril-
lation treatment.
The HeartStart Trainer provides a variety of simulations, or training scenarios, to
help responders acquire and demonstrate the basic skills necessary to use the
HeartStart HS1 Defibrillator in an emergency.
NOTE: Before using any HeartStart HS1 Defibrillator, the responder should have
completed an appropriate responder training program, which may include the use of
the HeartStart Trainer. Having completed such a course, the responder should be
able to demonstrate a
proficiency in assessing the indications of sudden cardiac arrest -- a patient who is
unresponsive when shaken and not breathing normally -- cardiopulmonary resuscita-
tion (CPR), and knowledge of applicable medical protocols and procedures.
