Stryker Physio-Control Lifepak 15

Stryker Physio-Control Lifepak 15 Defibrillator/Monitor

The Stryker Physio-Control Lifepak 15 is a high-capability defibrillator/monitor engineered for advanced cardiac resuscitation and comprehensive patient monitoring. It continuously monitors all 12 leads in the background while offering multiple operating modes—including AED for automated external defibrillation, Manual Mode for direct control, Archive, Setup, Service, and Demo modes. The system integrates advanced features such as EtCO₂ waveform capture and Masimo Rainbow SET technology for noninvasive monitoring of SpO₂, carbon monoxide, and methemoglobin levels. With CODE-STAT data review software, users can transmit, trend, or display recorded data for post-event review. Additionally, the Lifepak 15 comes with a bright 8.4″ color LCD screen, a 100mm printer, and a robust lithium-ion dual battery system, all designed to facilitate rapid, reliable response during emergencies.
