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:
Power
Display
Data Management
Communications
Monitor
Frequency Response

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:
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?
The device used to administer an electric current (shock) to the heart
Widely used in hospitals and clinics
Exclusively used in operation theatres
Used by laypersons requiring little training
Soma Tech Intl offers Physio-Control Lifepak 20 Defibrillators up to 50% below OEM prices with the same service and warranty as new. The Physio-Control Lifepak 20 is not only technically refurbished but also cosmetically refurbished to make it work and look like new.
