Troubleshooting Tips

For a complete list of troubleshooting tips, please 

consult the LIFEPAK 15 Operating Instructions

LIFEPAK 15 

Monitor/Defibrillator

Pacing

Observation

Action

Failure to capture

• Increase pacing current
• Consider moving pacing electrode  

to another location

Oversensing

Change to a different ECG lead or 

reposition the ECG electrode 

Noisy ECG signal

• Confirm adequate skin preparation
• Move the ECG electrodes farther  

away from the pacing electrodes

• Consider selecting another ECG lead

Monitor screen 

displays distortion 

while pacing

• Reposition electrodes away from 

pacing electrodes or select another 

lead (I, II or III)

Intrinsic QRS 

complexes not sensed 

when pacing

• Increase ECG size or select another lead
• Adjust PPM
