GENERAL COMPARISON BETWEEN LIFEPAK 15 AND ZOLL X SERIES

INTRODUCTION TO THE PHYSIO-CONTROL LIFEPAK 15

Physio-Control continues its legacy of trailblazing technology with its most advanced emergency response monitor/defibrillator – the Lifepak 15. The Physio-Control Lifepak 15 defibrillator/monitor is the new standard in emergency care for ALS teams who want the most clinically and operationally innovated device available today. The Lifepak 15 integrates Masimo Rainbow SET technology that monitors SpO2, Carbon Monoxide, and Methemoglobin. A unique platform, the LP 15 uses Lithium-ion battery technology, incorporates the SunVue display screen for easy viewing in bright sunlight, and data connectivity to easily collect and send patient information.

The Lifepak 15 has a similar form factor and user interface to the Lifepak 12 defibrillator that will help ease the transition and lower training costs. These features and more have helped the Lifepak 15 become an industry favorite.

LIFEPAK 15 FEATURES

Some of the other Lifepak 15 features include:

• Dual-mode LCD screen with SunVue for glare-free visuals
• New monitoring parameters that detect hard-to-diagnose conditions and improve patient care with Masimo Rainbow Technology
• ADAPTIV biphasic technology provides the option to escalate to 360J for best results
• Proven CPR Guidance – Demonstrated to aid users in performing compressions and ventilations within the recommended range of AHA Guidelines
  • The CPR Metronome uses audible prompts to guide you
• 12-lead ECG capabilities
• Toughened design – a shock-absorbing handle and a double-layer screen that can take a beating

INTRODUCTION TO THE ZOLL X SERIES

The Zoll X Series is a lightweight, easy-to-use defibrillator made to assist EMS and hospital personnel on the job. The Zoll X defibrillator is based on a platform developed for military and air medical operations which rises to a new standard in ruggedness and durability. With advanced benefits built-in, the X Series defibrillator delivers real-time data to help inform medical professionals. When performing CPR, the X Series gives the rate, depth, and release of each CPR compression to best understand how the patient’s heart is reacting. The defibrillator also monitors and displays how long the patient has been without blood flow, aiding professionals in determining the next critical steps.

Additionally, the X Series combines the clinically superior therapeutic capabilities of Zoll defibrillation, pacing, and CPR quality improvement with the advanced monitoring parameters you need. This Zoll defibrillator offers unrivaled CPR support with numerical displays of compression depth and rate and a release indicator that shows you when to release for full recoil.

ZOLL X SERIES FEATURES

The following features of the Zoll X Series include:

• Weighing at 11.7 lbs, the Zoll X Series is more compact than other competitive defibrillators
• Lithium-ion SunPower battery delivers 6 hours of continuous run time to support any EMT operations
• Despite being a smaller device, the Zoll X has a 6.5” display with plenty of configurable viewing options
• Military-grade durability design
• The See-Thru CPR Technology filters out compression activity from the ECG signals during CPR
• 12-lead ECG capabilities
• Additional features include – capnography, pulse oximetry, three invasive pressures, two temperature channels, and non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP)

REFURBISHED LIFEPAK 15 AND ZOLL X SERIES DEFIBRILLATORS

First and foremost, our units are not just technically refurbished, they are also cosmetically refurbished to look and perform as new. The unit is carefully inspected and tested by our skilled biomedical engineers who are highly certified and knowledgeable. Next, parts are replaced if only necessary to ensure that the unit is working efficiently. Once everything is in working order, the units are then calibrated to meet the original manufacturer’s specifications. This guarantees that the unit is operating in the same manner as when it was first manufactured. After the defibrillators are in great working conditions, they undergo a cosmetic restoration process where it is repaired, cleaned, painted, and decals replaced if necessary. Finally, the defibrillators go through a final quality control test before being labeled patient-ready. This guarantees Soma’s high-quality standards in offering the best capital medical equipment.

FINAL THOUGHT

As September 29th is known for World Heart Day, everyone needs to take care of their heart health every day. However, due to underlying cardiovascular diseases and other chronic health conditions that can affect one’s own heart, having access to a defibrillator within any public setting can be vital. Cardiac arrest can happen anywhere in a hospital, medical facilities, and any other public domain. This is why having the proper defibrillation system such as the Physio-Control Lifepak 15 and the Zoll X Series at hand can help with emergency preparedness for unexpected circumstances. Both the Lifepak 15 and Zoll X Series are uniquely equipped with the essential features that guarantee reliance and durability.
