How do I change my Lifepak 15 settings?

Press the SPEED DIAL to select the item. The Setup / General menu allows you to define general default settings such as language, site number, and device identification number. Select a menu item, select the option that you want, and then press HOME SCREEN to return to the Setup Home Screen.

Are Lifepak 15 mono or biphasic?

360J biphasic technology
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.

When did the Lifepak 15 come out?

March 2009
Physio-Control was granted CE mark in January 2009, certifying compliance with the European Union Medical Device Directive and began its U.S. market release of the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator in March 2009.

Where is LIFEPAK manufactured?

Redmond, Washington
Both our manufacturing and research and development are based out of our facility in Redmond, Washington. Nearly 700 highly-trained Team Members design, build and assemble LIFEPAK defibrillators for use around the world.

How long do Lifepak 15 batteries last?

The LIFEPAK 15 device uses lithium-ion batteries with a typical operating time for two new fully charged batteries of 360 minutes for monitoring, 340 minutes pacing or for 420 360 Joule shocks.

What is the difference between biphasic and monophasic?

A monophasic waveform delivers electrical shocks in a single direction from one electrode to another. With a biphasic shock, the current travels in two phases. In the first phase, the current runs from the first electrode to the second electrode via the patient’s heart.

Who makes the Lifepak 15?

Does Lifepak 15 have AED mode?

The LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator has six main operating modes: AED mode: for automated ECG analysis and a prompted treatment protocol for patients in cardiac arrest. Manual mode: for performing manual defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion, noninvasive pacing, and ECG and vital sign monitoring.

Where do you place pacing pads?

The two most commonly described pacer pad application sites are the anterior-posterior (A-P) position (positive pad placed under the left scapula and negative pad placed on the left anterior lower chest wall) and the anterior-lateral (A-L) position (positive pad placed on the right anterior chest wall and negative pad …

When should you externally pace a patient?

When an adult heart at rest beats fewer than 60 times a minute, this may indicate a condition called bradycardia, or a slow heart rate. This abnormal heart rhythm is often treated temporarily by transcutaneous, or external, pacing technology.

How do you synchronize Cardiovert?

To perform synchronized cardioversion, the defibrillator is placed into the “synchronize” mode by pressing the appropriate button on the machine. This causes the monitor to track the R wave of each QRS complex that goes by.

What is the difference between synchronized cardioversion and defibrillation?

Synchronized cardioversion delivers a low energy shock to the heart, whereas during defibrillation, a high-energy shock is delivered without the need to time the shock to the unstable rhythm.

Why is monophasic better than biphasic?

Conclusion. Although monophasic and biphasic machines are successful in performing defibrillation, the latter is considered a better option. They are more convenient, accurate, effective, and cost less and are able to prevent further damage to the heart.

Are most AED monophasic or biphasic?

While both high- and low-energy BTE waveforms were adapted from internal defibrillation, the “high-current” RBW is the only biphasic waveform that was developed specifically for external defibrillation. It has been studied extensively in over 7,000 patients and shown to be superior to monophasic.

What is SpO2 SpCO and SpMet on the LIFEPAK 15?

SpO2, SpCO™, and SpMet™ are optional features for the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator. When all three options (SpO2, SpCO, and SpMet) are installed, the pulse oximeter measures functional oxygen saturation (SpO2), carboxyhemoglobin concentration (SpCO), and methemoglobin concentration (SpMet) in the blood.

How does the LIFEPAK 15 work?

From intuitive controls to a dual-battery system and a large 8.4 inch anti-reflective color display that changes to high-contrast mode with a single button, the LIFEPAK 15 helps you work more efficiently so you can keep your focus on your patients.

What are the instructions for the 5-14lifepak 15?

5-14LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillator Operating Instructions Shock Counter CPR Time and Metronome Switching from AED Mode to Manual Mode When in AED mode, Manual mode may be accessed di rectly, require confirmati on or a passcode, or not be accessible at all depending on how your defibrillator has been set up.
