LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillator Operating Instructions

Patients with Implanted Devices
Implanted devices such as cardiac defibrillators, pacemakers, or other devices may absorb
energy from a LIFEPAK 15 defibrillator shock or be damaged by the shock. If possible, place
therapy electrodes or standard paddles in the standard placements but away from the
implanted device. Treat the patient like any other patient who requires care. If defibrillation is
unsuccessful, it may be necessary to try alternate electrode placement (anterior-posterior).
Automated External Defibrillation (AED)
Intended Use
When used in AED mode, the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator is a semiautomatic defibrillator
that provides a prompted treatment protocol and ECG analysis using a patented Shock Advisory
System™ (SAS). This software algorithm analyzes the patient’s electrocardiographic (ECG)
rhythm and indicates whether or not a shockable rhythm is detected. AED mode requires
operator interaction in order to defibrillate the patient.
AED mode 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:
•
CPR training
•
AED training equivalent to that recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA) or
the European Resuscitation Council (ERC)
•
Training in the use of the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator in AED mode
Indications
AED mode is to be used only on patients in cardiopulmonary arrest. The patient must be
unconscious, pulseless, and not breathing normally before using the defibrillator to analyze
the patient’s ECG rhythm. In AED mode, the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator is not intended
for use on pediatric patients less than eight years old.
Contraindications
None known.
AED Warnings
Possible Misinterpretation of Data
Do not analyze in a moving vehicle. Motion artifact may
affect the ECG signal resulting in an inappropriate
SHOCK
or
NO SHOCK ADVISED
message. Motion
detection may delay analysis. Stop vehicle and stand
clear of patient during analysis.
