As used in this part:

1. (1) “Automated external defibrillator (AED)” means a device that:

   1. (A) Is used to administer an electric shock through the chest wall to the heart;
   2. (B) Has built-in computers within the device to assess the patient’s heart rhythm and judge whether defibrillation is needed;
   3. (C) Has audible or visual prompts, or both, to guide the user through the process;
   4. (D) Has received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration of its premarket modification, filed pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 360(k);
   5. (E) Is capable of recognizing the presence or absence of ventricular fibrillation and rapid ventricular tachycardia and is capable of determining without intervention by an operator whether defibrillation should be performed; and
   6. (F) Upon determining if the defibrillation should be performed, the AED either automatically charges and delivers an electrical impulse to an individual’s heart or charges and delivers an electrical impulse at the command of the operator;

2. (2)

   1. (A) “Cardiac arrest” means a condition, often sudden, that is due to abnormal heart rhythms called arrhythmias.
   2. (B) It is generally the result of some underlying form of heart disease;
3. (3) “Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)” means a combination of rescue breathing, chest compressions, and external cardiac massage used to sustain a person’s life until advanced assistance arrives;
4. (4) “CPR provider” or “AED provider” means a member or employee of an institutional campus who has completed training in CPR in addition to knowledge and understanding of an AED’s operation and use under the requirements set forth in this part;
5. (5) “Defibrillation” means administration of an electrical impulse to an individual’s heart in order to stop ventricular fibrillation or rapid ventricular tachycardia;
6. (6) “Emergency medical services (EMS)” means the transportation and medical care provided the ill or injured prior to arrival at a medical facility by a licensed emergency medical technician or other healthcare provider and continuation of the initial emergency care within a medical facility subject to the approval of the medical staff and governing board of that facility;
7. (7) “Extracurricular event” means any institution-sponsored program or voluntary activity sponsored by the institution, or an organization sanctioned by the institution where students are competing for the purpose of receiving an award, rating, recognition, or criticism, or qualification for additional competition, or including preparation for and involvement in public performances, contests, athletic competitions, demonstrations, displays, and club activities;
8. (8) “FDA” means the Food and Drug Administration;
9. (9) “Institution of higher education” or “institution” means a state-supported two-year or four-year college or university;

10. (10) “Institutional campus” means any institution’s building or cluster of buildings, including grounds, that is used for any purpose, including, without limitation:

    1. (A) Extracurricular activities; or
    2. (B) Campus administration;
11. (11) “Institutional personnel” means any employee of the institution or independent contractor working under contract with an institution who is required to follow campus policy and procedures;
12. (12) “Program coordinator” means an individual, appointed by the institution, who is responsible for administration of the automated external defibrillation program for their respective campus;
13. (13) “Protocol” means currently approved and accepted procedures describing specific steps a provider must follow in assessing and treating a patient;
14. (14) “Renewal” means training and demonstration of competence in the application and use of automated defibrillation equipment;

15. (15) “School-sponsored event” means any event or activity sponsored by the institution which includes but is not limited to:

    1. (A) Athletic events;
    2. (B) Student organization events; or
    3. (C) Any activity designed to enhance the student experience whether or not it is organized on an institutional campus;
16. (16) “Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)” means a sudden or unexpected cessation of heart function, most often caused by a sudden arrhythmia, such as ventricular fibrillation (VF); and

17. (17)

    1. (A) “Ventricular fibrillation (VF)” means the most common arrhythmia that causes cardiac arrest.
    2. (B) When this condition occurs, the heart’s electrical impulses suddenly become chaotic, often without warning, causing the heart’s pumping action to stop abruptly.
