Your Technical Guide to Biphasic Defibrillator Technology
Biphasic defibrillators represent the gold standard in modern cardiac resuscitation, offering a significant leap in effectiveness and safety compared to older, monophasic units. This advanced technology uses a tailored electrical current delivered in two phases, which requires less energy to achieve successful defibrillation while minimizing potential harm to the patient's heart muscle (myocardium). For medical professionals working in critical environments such as emergency rooms, ICUs, and ambulances, understanding the precise mechanisms and benefits of this technology is paramount. At Kuteras, we pride ourselves on engineering state-of-the-art biphasic devices that deliver unparalleled speed, accuracy, and reliability when treating cardiac arrhythmias.
This dedicated Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section serves as a comprehensive resource, answering your most technical and practical queries about our professional biphasic manual defibrillators. We cover everything from the scientific rationale behind the biphasic waveform to device maintenance, energy level selection, and the integration of advanced monitoring features like synchronized cardioversion and comprehensive patient data management. Our goal is to ensure that every clinician using a Kuteras biphasic defibrillator is fully equipped with the knowledge to make swift, life-saving decisions with absolute confidence in the technology they hold.
Frequently Asked Questions about Biphasic Defibrillator
Unlike traditional monophasic defibrillators, biphasic technology uses two-directional electric currents, requiring lower energy levels for the same or better therapeutic effect. This reduces myocardial damage and improves survival rates.
A biphasic defibrillator delivers electrical shocks in two phases—first in one direction and then in the opposite. This allows for effective defibrillation at lower energy levels, reducing potential damage to the heart.
A manual defibrillator requires a trained professional to read ECG data, decide when to deliver a shock, and select energy levels. AEDs are automated, guiding untrained users through the process.
Monophasic defibrillators deliver a single-direction shock, while biphasic defibrillators use a two-phase current, which is more effective and gentler on the heart. KUTERAS specializes in biphasic technology for better clinical outcomes.
Biphasic shocks have a higher success rate and are safer than older monophasic technology. They reduce post-shock complications and require less energy to restore a normal rhythm.
Biphasic energy has been clinically shown to achieve higher success rates in defibrillation at lower energies, which helps reduce the risk of myocardial injury and skin burns.
These devices are primarily used by emergency medical personnel, doctors, and hospital staff trained in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).
Yes. Many models include built-in ECG, SpO₂, NIBP, EtCO2, Temperature, AED, and external pacing capabilities. They're designed for multi-function use in emergencies.
Absolutely. Our devices are portable, durable, and compliant with emergency transport requirements—ideal for ambulance and field use. There is a mounting kit for the biphasic defibrillator device for use in the ambulance in accordance with EN 1789 standard.
Professional users manually adjust the energy level based on patient needs and clinical guidelines. Biphasic defibrillators achieve effectiveness at lower joules, enhancing patient safety.
Yes. With the appropriate electrodes and energy settings, biphasic external defibrillators can be safely used on both adults and children.
For pediatric patient use, pediatric paddles should be used below adult external paddles.
Yes. Our manual defibrillator includes a synchronized cardioversion mode, allowing precise timing with the patient’s R-wave, which is essential for treating arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation or supraventricular tachycardia.
Yes. The KUTERAS manual defibrillator includes a high-resolution ECG monitor that enables real-time rhythm analysis and decision-making. The user can monitor 12 leads on the same screen with a 10-lead ECG cable. If optional parameters such as NIBP, EtCO2, Temperature, SpO2 can be monitored on the same screen.
