Abstract :
This paper covers the cardiac safety studies of a high voltage (TASER) less-lethal weapon, and outlines the safety margin of the Taser X26. The cardiac safety test protocol was based on the rigorous safety protocol required by the Office of Naval Research for government funded basic science oriented research program.
