This allows users to record rescues directly to CF cards and seamlessly transport the data to a computer for viewing, storage and transmission of patient files. At the completion of a rescue, ECG data can be immediately removed from the AED on the CF card. The AED is then available for the next rescue. This resolves the major drawback of internal memory storage. Small and Rugged Cards CF cards are small enough to fit in the palm of the users hand, but rugged enough to withstand 2000 Gs of force.
CF cards are one-fourth the size and provide two times the shock resistance of a standard PC card.
CF cards are the most durable removable media used in the AED industry. Their smaller size and greater durability provide safer transport of critical medical data. Ease of Use Cards Data can be transported or downloaded from the AED directly onto the CF card. Expanded and Integrated Data Storage Cards CF cards can store either ECG data or ECG and voice. A typical 4 MB CF card can store up to 5 hours of ECG and event data, a remarkable improvement over the 20 minutes of ECG data standard on most AEDs.
