Patented Technology HeartSine has developed a unique, patent pending, biphasic waveform, called SCOPEŽ or Self Compensating Output Pulse Envelope. This advanced technology energy delivery platform is available on the HeartSine complete family of AED devices. Developed through extensive experimental and clinical testing the SCOPEŽ system gives unrivaled performance and optimizes defibrillation success.
SCOPE has built-in patient safety, and limits the current delivered at higher energies. This ensures that patients only receive the energy that can have therapeutic effect, thereby limiting the risk of damage to heart cells.
SCOPE adjusts the slope characteristics of the energy waveform by switching in capacitance changes to provide an optimal current profile. The slope of this current profile is one element that ensures maximum efficacy in defibrillation which is adjusted for each shock on each patient according to their impedance.
SCOPE will also vary the amplitude of the delivered waveform to compensate for a broad range of patient impedances. This means that for a given patient impedance and energy level, the correct waveform profile is delivered for each phase of the biphasic shock.
Varying the pulse width for both phases of the waveform profile, allows SCOPE to compensate for a large patient impedance range. SCOPE ensures that the energy pulse is delivered efficiently and safely. Adjusting the pulse width over a 3-12 msec range ensures the major portion of its energy pulse to provide maximum therapeutic value.
