The LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator delivers… Physio-Control defibrillators have set the standard for over 55 years, and the latest version of the LIFEPAK 15 monitor raises the bar. As our most advanced emergency response monitor/defibrillator, the LIFEPAK 15 device offers sophisticated clinical technologies and operational effectiveness with a rich array of features—like the most powerful escalating energy available (up to 360J), advanced monitoring parameters, and a completely upgradable platform. At the same time, it’s tough enough to stand up to your most challenging environments. Advanced monitoring parameters… With more monitoring capabilities than any other monitor/defibrillator, the 15 gives you EtCO2 with continuous waveform capture. Masimo Rainbow technology helps you detect hard-to-diagnose conditions and improve patient care with noninvasive monitoring of carbon monoxide, SpO2 and methemoglobin. In addition, the 15 now offers temperature monitoring—and like other data, you can transmit it to other systems, trend it, or display for post-event review in CODE-STATdata review software. Advanced support for treating cardiac patients… Not only can you easily acquire a pre-medication 12-lead ECG, you can also rely on the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator to continuously monitor all 12 leads in the background and alert you to changes using the ST-Segment Trending feature. The 15 also works seamlessly with the web-based LIFENET System, so you can automatically share critical patient data with multiple patient care teams throughout a region in real time. Full energy up to 360 joules, for every patient who needs it… The LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator features 360J biphasic technology, which gives you the option of escalating your energy dose up to 360J for difficult-to-defibrillate patients. Why is this necessary? Recent studies have shown that refibrillation is common among VF cardiac arrest patients and that defibrillation of recurring episodes of VF is increasingly difficult. Another recent randomized controlled clinical trial shows the rate of VF termination was higher with an escalating higher energy regimen of 200J and over. Proven CPR guidance and post event review… The CPR Metronome in the LIFEPAK 15 monitor uses audible prompts to guide you without distracting vocal critique. A metronome has been a feature that has demonstrated to help you perform compressions and ventilations within the recommended range of the 2010 AHA Guidelines. Post-event review of CPR data and delivering feedback to the team has been shown to be effective in improving CPR quality in both hospital and out-of-hospital. And by transmitting code data directly to CODE-STAT Data Review software, QA/QI personnel can review CPR statistics and provide training and feedback where it is most needed.
