PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
RESCUE LIFE
is an external defibrillator and monitor for acute cardiac care response
used by authorized healthcare providers in hospital and clinic settings.
The RESCUE LIFE defibrillator and monitor is available only with the biphasic
defibrillation waveform. The delivered energy is adjusted to the patient impedance to
obtain the best result. It is a battery powered, lightweight and portable device designed
to deliver defibrillation shocks during rescue operations.
In manual mode the user has to do the analysis of the ECG trace of the patient and set
the energy level of the shock to be delivered. The energy range is from 1 to 230 Joules.
During synchronized cardio-version, the defibrillating shock is delivered in less than 50
milliseconds of the occurrence of the ECG 'R' peak.
The RESCUE LIFE in the basic configuration has only the manual mode available and
the ECG monitoring can be done by defibrillation pads (1 trace) or by 5 wire ECG
monitoring cable assembly from ELPRO S.r.l.
The RESCUE LIFE can be supplied with (optional) 10 wire ECG cable.
Optional module: RESCUE LIFE can be ordered with ADVISORY/AED mode, Pacemaker,
SpO
2
as well as NIBP. On the AED version RESCUE LIFE includes a mass storage memory
for recording the ECG trace and events.
Integrated thermal printer allows the hardcopy of the ECG traces.
The RESCUE LIFE may be equipped with disposable defibrillation pads. Through these
pads, the electrical signal from the patient’s heart is acquired. The defibrillation shock
is delivered also through the same defibrillation pads.
