LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillator Operating Instructions
Noninvasive Pacing
The LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator provides noninvasive pacing using adult or pediatric
QUIK-COMBO pacing/defibrillation/ECG electrodes. For more information, see Paddle
Accessory Options (on page 149).
Intended Use
A noninvasive pacemaker is a device that delivers an electrical stimulus to the heart causing
cardiac depolarization and myocardial contraction. The energy is delivered through large
adhesive electrodes placed on the chest. In addition to noninvasive pacing, other supportive
measures may be necessary.
Noninvasive pacing is intended for use by personnel who are authorized by a physician or
medical director and have, at a minimum, the following skills and training:
•
Arrhythmia recognition and treatment
•
Advanced resuscitation training equivalent to that recommended by the AHA or ERC
•
Training on the use of the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator
Indications
Noninvasive pacing is indicated for symptomatic bradycardia in patients with a pulse.
Contraindications
Noninvasive pacing is contraindicated for the treatment of ventricular fibrillation and asystole.
Noninvasive Pacing Warnings
Possible Inability to Pace
Using other manufacturers’ combination therapy
electrodes with this device could cause a decrease in
pacing efficacy or the inability to pace because of
unacceptably high impedance levels and invalidate the
safety agency certifications. Use only the therapy
electrodes that are specified in these operating
instructions.
Demand and Nondemand Pacing
The LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator can be used for either demand or nondemand
(asynchronous or "fixed rate") pacing.
Demand mode is used for most patients. In demand mode, the LIFEPAK 15 pacemaker inhibits
pacing output when it "senses" the patient’s own beats (intrinsic QRSs). In demand mode, if the
