Arrest-related deaths proximate to the use of a conducted electrical weapon (CEW) continue to generate controversy despite a better understanding of the multi-factorial nature of many of these deaths. With the rapid adoption of this technology by law enforcement, and the proliferation of companies entering the marketplace, it is important to have a method to assess the relative safety of these weapons. We had previously developed a model to assess the relative cardiac safety of CEWs. In this study, we use this model to compare the TASER X2 and the Karbon Arms MPID. Our results suggest that the TASER X2 may have an improved cardiac safety margin over the Karbon Arms MPID as determined by a smaller area of cardiac pacing on the anterior chest in our model. This model seems to offer a reproducible means of comparing the cardiac effects of CEWs.
尽管人们对许多与使用导电电子武器（CEW）相关的死亡的多因素性质有了更好的理解，但与使用该武器相关的死亡事件仍不断引发争议。随着执法部门迅速采用这项技术，以及进入市场的公司不断增多，拥有一种评估这些武器相对安全性的方法变得很重要。我们之前开发了一个模型来评估CEW的相对心脏安全性。在本研究中，我们使用该模型比较泰瑟X2和卡尔本武器MPID。我们的结果表明，根据我们模型中前胸心脏起搏面积较小这一情况判断，泰瑟X2可能比卡尔本武器MPID具有更高的心脏安全边际。该模型似乎提供了一种可重复的方法来比较CEW的心脏效应。
