I'm happy to learn about this and plan on discussing with neurologist. I've downloaded the questions to discuss with her.
I'm so grateful for this resource. ❤️

No. Only that it has an automatic mode where when your heartrate goes too high, the 106 automatically overrides and delivers an increased shock and longer time. (Double).
Without pulling out the tech manual, that's my understanding.
