• No commercially available defibrillator on the market offers equivalent strength to full energy, 360J biphasic offered by Physio-Control LIFEPAK defibrillators for both AED and manual defibrillation • Published clinical data demonstrate protocols with escalating energy to 360J improves conversion rates for difficult -to -defibrillate VF and AF patients compared with lower energy shocks • Multiple biphasic vs biphasic comparison studies show low energy is not equivalent to full energy, regardless of how current (A) alone is managed. To date, there are no peer - reviewed published data that demonstrates a lower energy shock is more (or as) effective than a higher energy shock • The science shows that no individual characteristic of any biphasic waveform determines conversion rate. The combined total of a shock's characteristics (energy), determines conversion rate. Shock energy (J) is the therapeutic dose that includes multiple waveform characteristics (current, voltage, and duration). Rapid Data Movement — Your Key to Better Outcomes All LIFEPAK 15 device data moves along the LIFENET System cloud, and our customers choose where it goes and who is authorized to view it. As your partner, our Connected Medicine team will work with you to accelerate, deploy, implement and support data collection, movement and analysis tools to meet your needs and maximize your performance objectives. Specifically the LIFEPAK 15 is cloud -connected for four reasons: 1. Transmit emergent patient data (i.e. 12-lead ECG) to the hospital. • The LIFEPAK 15 uniquely provides users with a simple 3-step transmission process. 1) Press the TRANSMIT button, 2) Select your hospital, 3) Select SEND. • The LIFEPAK 15 is the only commercially available monitor defibrillator that allows for automatic transmission of 12-Lead ECGs to the hospital, eliminating the need to push even a single button. • Eliminate the potential for miscommunication of transmission status. Only the LIFEPAK 15 provides 2-way communication with the hospital's LIFENET System. When the LIFEPAK 15 displays and prints that the transmission is complete, this means the 12- lead has been received by the hospital. • We've all experienced that cellular coverage can be intermittent in certain areas as we travel down the road, so the LIFEPAK 15 will attempt to transmit three times. If it fails all three times, the LIFEPAK 15 displays and prints that the transmission has failed, alerting the user to try again. • The LIFEPAK 15 is the only device capable of transmitting custom event data for any emergency, such as STROKE or SEPSIS. Now EMS crews can alert the hospital's LIFENET System of inbound stroke or sepsis patients. Hospital, in turn, can use LIFENET to alert multiple care -teams, such as neurology and pharmacy. • The LIFEPAK 15 is the only device that transmits all vital signs with every transmission. Physio-Control believes in providing hospital care teams with the most information possible.
