Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)-ventricular fibrillation (VF)- kills 350000 people in the US alone, each year, about 3 million worldwide, at the prime-time of their life, mostly witnessed and at home /office. Defibrillation procedure must be performed as soon as possible: survival decreases by 10% for every minute of delay-therefore ambulance help at home-too late! At present, only very few of SCA victims at home survive and many- in coma, in nursing homes. TED is a home consumer solution that is much more affordable and reliable. The novelty in our defibrillator device is based on a computerized modification of the alternating current, from the mains , existing in every home, to the FDA-approved biphasic defibrillatory wave .

TED External Home Defibrillator for Home Consumer innovation
- 1. TED-‐Time and life-‐saving External Defibrillator: a Home AED Inventors and patent holders: Prof. A. Teddy Weiss & team at Hadassah Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel atweiss@hadassah.org.il
- 2. Sudden Cardiac Arrest The Need • Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)-‐ventricular fibrilla<on (VF)-‐ kills 350000 people in the US alone, each year, about 3 million worldwide, at the prime-‐<me of their life, mostly witnessed and at home /office. • Defibrilla<on procedure must be performed as soon as possible: survival decreases by 10% for every minute of delay-‐therefore ambulance help at home-‐ too late! At present, only very few of SCA vic<ms at home survive and many-‐ in coma, in nursing homes. • TED is a home consumer solu<on that is much more affordable and reliable. The novelty in our defibrillator device is based on a computerized modifica<on of the alterna<ng current, from the mains , exis<ng in every home, to the FDA-‐ approved biphasic defibrillatory wave.
- 3. Sudden Cardiac Arrest The Evolu<on • External Defibrillators-‐ used in hospitals, since 1960s • AICD-‐for the very high risk pts-‐since 1980s • AED used by trained emergency personnel have become an essen<al link in the “Chain of Survival”(CPR), since 1980s • The logical extension of the AED concept is the Public Access Defibrillator (in airplanes, airport, casino)-‐infrequent use, by laymen and since safe-‐ FDA approved its use at home-‐2000 • A further logical extension of the Public Access Defibrillator is our TED -‐ Personal Defibrillator to be used at home/office
- 4. Current Solu<ons AICD • • • • • • VERY HIGH COST (20,000$) NEEDS OPERATIVE PROCEDURE (RISKY) MAY DELIVER INAPROPRIATE SHOCKS NEEDS CARE AND REPLACEMENT PSYCHOLOGIC BURDEN END-‐OF-‐LIFE PROBLEMS
- 5. Current Solu<ons AEDs-‐ in public places • HIGH COST PER UNIT (1000-‐2000$) • HIGH COST FOR MAINTENANCE (about 2000$ PER YEAR). -‐-‐ SINCE INTENDED FOR LONG STORAGE-‐ MAY NEVER BE USED OR CHECKED -‐-‐WHEN NEEDED IN EMERGENCY-‐MAY NOT WORK: BATTERY OR CAPACITOR FAILURE • NO PACING CAPABILITIES IN CASE OF VERY SLOW HEART RATE OR ASYSTOLE • NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO SCA VICTIMS (ONLY 7% OF SCA-‐WERE IN 4 MINUTE DISTANCES FROM AEDs LOCATED IN PUBLIC PLACES).
- 6. Current Solutions AED • MAINTENANCE COST IS HIGH-‐2363$/YEAR • AS REPORTED BY ZOLL
- 7. TED Solu<on Main ideas • Use the AC mains as source of energy • Shape by computer the sinusoidal waveform-‐to a similar defibrilla<on wave as that of a standard AED • Maximum flexibility in future waveform genera<on achieving bener results with less Energy • Use a High Voltage Step Up Transformer

- 10. TED Solu<on Advantages • Immediately opera<onal • No delay in repeated opera<on allowing: – Repeated defibrilla<on , no need to recharge – Pacing in case of Cardiac Stands<ll or Bradycardia – Pacing override for VT termina<on • No Need for baneries and capacitor • Lower cost , more reliable than AEDs Therefore-‐ideal for home-‐use
- 11. Leading to … • Lower cost per unit • Maintenance Free • Reliable Therefore ideal for Use at Home Preferable to existing AEDs
- 12. Sudden Cardiac Arrest The market • It should be recommended by physicians to pa<ents at increased risk of SCA-‐following myocardial infarc<on(MI), hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathy or gene<c inclina<on for ventricular arrhythmias • It could be an alterna<ve treatment for pa<ents who are candidates for surgically implanted defibrillator-‐ AICDs: poor Leo Ventricular Func<on-‐in US alone, A. Moss es<mates about 10 million pts=200 billion $-‐NO state economy can afford it! Its use in developing countries-‐limited • Pa<ents post MI, or at risk for MI, or with heart failure • 50% of men and 63% of women SCA vic<ms previously reported no CHD symptoms,-‐it may afflict anyone, any<me...

- 14. Sudden Cardiac Arrest The market Ideally a personal AED should be present in every home exactly like fire ex<nguishing equipment. Lower Cost will lead to an almost unlimited market.

First Animal Study: Defibrilla<on 5 small pigs (30-‐40 Kg body weight) General anesthesia with ketamin and isofluoran A single quadripolar pacing catheter was inserted percutaneously through one of the femoral veins or jugular vein VF was induced with rapid ventricular burst pacing or T wave shock Defibrilla<on of stable VF aoer 15 seconds If failed , immediate rescue shock with a higher energy or DC shock DFT determined with AC shock, than again with DC shock delivered with a commercial external defibrillator (Zoll) using a step-‐down protocol Comparison of DFT between modified AC and standard DC shock

Conclusions • Modified AC Shock Defibrilla<on is feasible and as effec<ve as the standard biphasic DC Defibrilla<on • Repeated higher energy shocks are quickly available • External Pacing is feasible and durable due to unlimited energy We suggest this type of defibrilla<on shock to be implemented in Automa<c External Home Defibrillators This low-‐cost new technology should be used to treat sudden cardiac arrest occurring at home/office and to save lives
