LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillator Operating Instructions

7-7

*To reduce the length of the CODE SUMMARY report, storing waveform data with these events can be set to OFF (see

the LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillator Setup Options provided with your device).

Waveform events are preceded by a header that includes the following information:

*Patient impedance (in ohms) appears on shock reports when using disposable defibrillation electrodes. This impedance

is measured just prior to the shock and is used to determine voltage compensation.

Figure 7-3 shows four examples of waveform events as they would appear in the CODE

SUMMARY report.

SHOCK X 3 seconds prior to shock and 5 seconds after shock

PACING X STARTED 8 seconds prior to increase of current from 0

PACING X SET 8 seconds after ppm and mA are stable for 10 seconds

PACING X CHANGED 8 seconds after pacing rate, current, or mode is changed

PACING X STOPPED 3 seconds prior to pacing current is zero and 5 seconds after

PACING X PAUSED Initial 8 seconds while

PAUSE is pressed

ALARM* 3 seconds prior to violated parameter and 5 seconds after

EVENT* 3 seconds prior to event selection and 5 seconds after

PRINT 3 seconds prior to pressing

PRINT and 5 seconds after

12-LEAD 10 seconds after

12-LEAD is pressed

SNAPSHOT 3 seconds prior to and 5 seconds after SNAPSHOT requested

VITAL SIGNS 3 seconds prior to and 5 seconds after vital signs are acquired
