Physio-Control Defibrillator Features

The Physio-Control Lifepak 20 defibrillator/monitor is an acute cardiac care response system used by authorized healthcare providers in hospital and clinical settings. The Lifepak 20 is only available with the biphasic defibrillation waveform. It uses QUICK-COMBO pacing/defibrillation/ECG electrodes of FAST-PATCH disposable defibrillation/ECG electrodes for ECG monitoring and patient therapy. The Standard paddles used with the defibrillator can be used for QUIK-LOOK ECG monitoring, defibrillation, and synchronized cardioversion therapies. When using standard paddles, a conductive interface designed for defibrillation, such as defibrillation gel or gel pads, must be used between the paddle electrode surface and the skin.

The Lifepak 20 defibrillator/monitor offers the following optional features:

Semiautomatic defibrillator
Noninvasive pacemaker
Pulse oximeter
Paddle accessories

Modes of Operation

Lifepak 20 Manual Mode provides a normal operating capability for ALS users. Manual mode allows energy selections up to 360J, offers synchronous cardioversion, and pacing. The ECG waveform is displayed on the 4.53-inch display.

AED Mode provides a normal operating capability for BLS users. All user features are available except manual defibrillation, synchronous cardioversion, pacing, and access to archived patient records. This mode provides shock energy defaults up to 360J. Users have the option to display ECG waveforms and/or visual AED prompts on the display.

Setup Mode allows the operator to configure the device settings.

Service Mode allows the operator to execute diagnostic tests and calibration, display device mode software and hardware versions, and display and print the diagnostic code log.

In-service Mode simulated waveforms are available for demonstration purposes. The waveforms consist of short segments of realist data, which are repeated to form a continuous waveform.

Archive Mode provides the operator the opportunity to access records of previous patients for review, transmission, printing, editing or deletion.

Auto Test Mode performs daily self-tests.

ADAPTIV Biphasic Technology

The 20 is equipped with ADAPTIV biphasic technology, which adjusts the shock waveform duration and voltage based on the patient’s impedance level. In AED mode, the device can provide escalating shocks (200–360 joules), depending on the patient’s needs. In manual mode, the ALS clinician can give energy shocks according to established protocols.

cprMAX Technology

The 20 in AED mode is also equipped with cprMAX technology, which supports 2005 American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) and European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines for Resuscitation 2005. cprMAX technology is aimed at optimizing the timing and sequencing of CPR and defibrillation. The 20 with cprMAX technology is highly flexible to accommodate various patient and CPR protocol requirements. cprMAX empowers users to customize the interaction of defibrillation and CPR, with options to:

Provide a specified CPR interval before delivering the first shock.
Provide CPR while the device is charging.
Prompt for CPR after every single shock.
Customize the option for and timing of pulse checks.

Use and Maintenance

QUIK-COMBO pacing/defibrillation/ECG electrodes are compatible with the entire family of products, for standardization and continuity of care. Standard adult paddles with embedded pediatric electrodes, sterilizable adult paddles, and internal paddles provide flexible therapy options for response in various cardiac emergencies. The 20 is easy to maintain and service comes with a five-year, in-hospital warranty, and is equipped with AC power and a backup internal nickel-metal hydride (NiMh) battery.

The Lifepak 20 defibrillator/monitor extends and enhances the family of products, providing flexible, compatible and standardized defibrillation solutions for patients across a range of hospital settings.

Why defibrillation?

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCR)-Rapid irregular rhythm causing the heart to quiver
Cause: Ventricular Fibrillation (VF)
Can lead to death if emergency shock not delivered
Defibrillation – to counteract fibrillation

The device used to administer an electric current (shock) to the heart

Types of Defibrillators

Manual external
Manual Internal
Automated External (AED)
Semi-Automated External
Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD)
Manual External Defibrillator

Widely used in hospitals and clinics

Inbuilt EKG reader
Clinician Diagnoses the condition and accordingly administers the shock through paddles or pads
Manual Internal Defibrillator

Exclusively used in operation theatres

The charge delivered through internal paddles in direct contact with the heart
Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

Used by laypersons requiring little training

Built-in heart rhythm analyzer
Advice whether a shock is required
Semi-Automated External Defibrillators

Used by paramedics and emergency medical technicians

Automated capabilities of AED
With ECG display and a manual override option
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator

Implants similar to pacemakers

Constantly monitor heart rhythm
Automatically administers shock for arrhythmias
Types of the waveform - Shape of defibrillation current

Monophasic damped sine waveform – delivers energy in one direction

Relies on the adjustment of joule settings
Biphasic damped sine waveform – bi-directional current flow
Measures impedance of patient and delivers a precise dose of electricity
Uses significantly low energy levels
Decreases risk of burn in Myocardial damage
