QUIK-COMBO Therapy Electrodes
Physio-Control QUIK-COMBO therapy electrodes are pre-gelled, self-adhesive therapy
electrodes used for defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion, ECG monitoring, and pacing.
Figure 35 QUIK-COMBO Therapy Electrodes
A QUIK-COMBO therapy electrode set:
• Is a substitute for standard paddles.
•
Provides Lead II monitoring signal when placed in the anterior-lateral position.
•
Quickly restores the ECG trace on the monitor following defibrillation.
Always have immediate access to a spare set of therapy electrodes.
To help prevent therapy electrode damage:
• Only open electrode package immediately prior to use.
• Slowly peel back the protective liner on the electrodes, beginning with the cable connection
end.
•
Do not trim therapy electrodes.
• Do not crush, fold, or store the electrodes under heavy objects.
• Store therapy electrodes in a location where temperatures are between 15° and 35°C (59°
and 95°F). Continuous exposure to the higher temperatures within this range will shorten the
life of the electrodes.
Several types of QUIK-COMBO therapy electrodes are available as described in Table, QUIK-
COMBO Electrodes (on page 152).
IMPORTANT! Infant/Child Reduced Energy Defibrillation Electrodes are not compatible with the
LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator.
