About this manual

The FORERUNNER is a lightweight, portable, battery-powered semi-automatic external defibrillator designed for trained operators. It performs automatic self-tests and displays results on a status indicator. The device features an LCD screen that shows text prompts, patient information, and electrocardiogram (ECG) data on specific models. It uses disposable, self-adhesive defibrillation pads to analyze the patient's ECG and deliver a shock if a shockable rhythm is detected.
