The Physio-Control Lifepak 12 defibrillator/monitor, when in AED mode, is a semiautomatic defibrillator that uses a patented Shock Advisory System. This software algorithm analyzes the patient’s electrocardiographic (ECG) rhythm and indicates whether or not it detects a shockable rhythm. The Lifepak 12 defibrillator/monitor in AED mode requires operator interaction in order to defibrillate the patient.
The Lifepak 12 defibrillator/monitor offers the following optional features:
- Biphasic defibrillation waveform
- Semi-automatic defibrillation
- Noninvasive pacemaker
- Pulse oximeter
- Interpretive 12-lead ECG
- Noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitor
- End-tidal CO2 (EtCO2) monitor
- Invasive pressure (IP) monitor
- Vital sign (VS) and ST monitoring
- Fax transmission
- Lifepak 12 Paddle accessories
- Electroluminescent (EL) display (The optimal viewability of an EL display is compromised in direct sunlight.)
