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 (see Figure 6-1).

Figure 6-1 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 6-1.

IMPORTANT! Infant/Child Reduced Energy Defibrillation Electrodes are not compatible with the

LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator.
