Physio-Control Lifepak 12

Physio-Control Lifepak 12 Defibrillator/Monitor

The Physio-Control Lifepak 12 is a versatile defibrillator/monitor with integrated pacing options designed to deliver rapid, effective resuscitation while continuously monitoring vital patient parameters. With both manual and semi-automatic (AED) modes, this device provides a comprehensive shock advisory system that analyzes the patient’s ECG and guides the operator through a simple 1-2-3 operation. Its large, high-resolution display allows simultaneous viewing of up to three ECG channels with cascading waveforms, while additional monitoring for heart rate, SpO₂, blood pressure, and other vital signs ensures a complete overview of the patient’s condition. Bluetooth connectivity enables seamless data transfer of ECG readings and patient data, making it an essential tool for modern emergency care.
