HP Codemaster XL Defibrillator

HP Codemaster XL Defibrillator and Recorder

The HP Codemaster XL combines defibrillation, ECG monitoring, and an annotated recorder into a high-performance, hands-off defibrillation unit. With multi-functional electrodes that support both pacing and defibrillation using the same pads, this system provides rapid, reliable treatment for both pediatric and adult patients. Its easy 1-2-3 operation and built-in diagnostics ensure a speedy response in emergencies, while the system’s high-capacity battery and fast charge capability (0 to 360 joules in under 5 seconds with battery) make it an ideal choice in critical care settings. Additionally, the Codemaster XL stores up to 28 events in its memory and features a bright 5-inch screen that displays vital patient information at a glance.

HP Codemaster XL Key Features

• Multi-Functional Operation:

  • Integrates a defibrillator, cardio scope, and annotated recorder into one device.
  • Uses the same pads for both pacing and defibrillation.
  • Built-in pediatric paddles under slide-off adult paddles provide versatile electrode options.

• Rapid and Efficient Defibrillation:

  • 1-2-3 operation simplifies use in emergencies.
  • Charges from 0 to 360 joules in less than 5 seconds with a high-capacity rechargeable battery.
  • Charge control via push-buttons on both the apex paddle and the front panel.

• Comprehensive Monitoring & Recording:

  • Digital and analog displays provide ECG views via paddles or patient cables, with selectable leads.
  • Three preset pairs of heart rate alarms ensure timely alerts.
  • A 5-inch CRT displays 4 seconds of ECG data with selectable scrolling trace.
  • The thermal array recorder automatically documents pre- and post-event data, annotating critical parameters such as time, date, heart rate, defibrillator mode, and energy delivered.

• Enhanced Safety Features:

  • Optional paddle contact indicator (3-color LED bar graph) assesses electrode contact quality.
  • Integrated alarm systems alert for issues like low battery, occlusion, and lead disconnections.
  • Built-in diagnostics and advisory modes further safeguard against errors.
