FDA-approved defibrillators such as the Lifepak 15 and the Zoll X Series have become the most highly requested defibrillation systems recently. As more patient care areas open in hospitals and other medical facilities, defibrillators meet the added demand for potential cardiac arrest situations. Defibrillators like these are found in many medical units, including emergency rooms, ICUs, medical clinics, community centers, businesses, and even public schools.

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 Physio-Control Lifepak 15 defibrillator/monitor is the new standard in emergency care for ALS teams who want the most clinically and operationally innovative 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: aids 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, setting a new standard for ruggedness and durability. With advanced benefits built in, the X Series defibrillator delivers real-time data to help inform medical professionals. During CPR, the X Series provides the rate, depth, and release of each compression to help providers understand how the patient’s heart is responding. The defibrillator also monitors and displays how long the patient has been without blood flow, helping professionals determine the next critical steps.

Additionally, the X Series combines Zoll’s clinically superior defibrillation, pacing, and CPR quality improvement capabilities 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 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. Our skilled, highly certified biomedical engineers carefully inspect and test each unit. Next, we replace parts only when necessary to ensure the unit works efficiently. Once everything is working, we calibrate the units to meet the original manufacturer’s specifications. This ensures the unit operates the same way it did when it was first manufactured. After the defibrillators are in great working condition, they undergo a cosmetic restoration process in which we repair, clean, and paint them, and replace decals if necessary. Finally, the defibrillators go through a final quality control test before being labeled patient-ready. This ensures Soma’s high-quality standards and commitment to providing the best capital medical equipment.
