The Paramedic CU-ER3 is a portable semi-automated external defibrillator with the following modes of operation :

Automated External Defibrillation (AED) Mode
Manual Mode

AED Mode

The Paramedic CU-ER3 analyzes the ECG of the patient to determine whether the patient has a shockable or nonshockable ECG rhythm. In this mode, the Paramedic CU-ER3 provides you with voice and text prompts throughout a rescue operation.

Manual Mode

the Paramedic CU-ER3 lets you control the defibrillation process. You assess the ECG of the patient and set the energy of the shock to be delivered. You may also perform synchronous cardioversion for the treatment of atrial fibrillation in this mode. In synchronous cardioversion, the defibrillating shock is delivered within 60 milliseconds of the occurrence of a QRS peak in the patient’s ECG.

In this mode, the operator has the freedom to set the energy level of the defibrillating shock. The choices are (in Joules) 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20, 30, 50, 70, 100, 150, 200.

ECG Monitoring Mode

The Paramedic CU-ER3 may also be used to do ECG monitoring only when it is in Manual mode. ECG monitoring only is done by connecting the custom designed ECG monitoring cable assembly from CU Medical Systems, Inc. No shocks may be delivered when the ECG monitoring cable assembly is connected to the Paramedic CU-ER3.

The Paramedic CU-ER3 uses two kinds of pads. These are :

Multifunction defibrillator pads – used for ECG acquisition and shock delivery. These pads are used during rescue operations.

ECG pads – used for ECG acquisition only together with the ECG monitoring cable and connector assembly.

The Paramedic CU-ER3 is capable of monitoring pulse oximetry (SPO2, Nellcor) in manual and AED modes. Pulse oximetry measurement is automatically done when the pulse oximetry sensor is connected to the appropriate port on the device.

SPO2 Monitoring is indicated when it is beneficial to assess a patient’s oxygen saturation level.

Highly portable

The Paramedic CU-ER3 weighs only approximately 2.8 kg. It comes with an optional Carrying Case that could contain all the necessary devices and accessories needed for a rescue operation.

Versatile Power Supply

The Paramedic CU-ER3 is equipped with a rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride battery pack as a standard component. The battery may be recharged through an AC adapter (standard accessory) or through a car cigar lighter jack power cord (optional). The battery has a capacity of 200 shocks (150 Joules each) when new and fully charged.

Rescue Data Storage

The data collected during a rescue operation is stored in the internal flash memory or the optional external SmartMedia Card. When the SmartMedia card is used, the option to record audio signals during a rescue operation may be turned ON (not available when recording in internal flash memory). The data can be downloaded to a personal computer using the CU-EX1 data management software for archiving, review, and printing.

Automated Self Tests

To ensure that the Paramedic CU-ER3 is always ready for a rescue operation, the device is programmed to run self tests automatically (the battery has to be connected and should have sufficient charge). Prompts and alarms are given off if the device fails the self tests
