“In order to save more lives from sudden cardiac arrest, we must save time,” said Mathieu Badard, Vice President & General Manager EMEA and South Asia, Physio-Control. “The LIFEPAK CR2 is designed to help rescuers provide higher quality CPR and to provide the fastest first shock when defibrillation is needed1. Everything about it is designed to increase user confidence. The LIFEPAK CR2 harnesses the benefits of connectivity to provide a foundation for better care throughout the entire rescue chain of survival and to simplify AED program management.”
The LIFEPAK CR2 features an attractive design with an array of new technology, including an industry first: cprINSIGHT ™ technology that allows chest compressions to continue during ECG analysis, helping to increase hands-on time and reduce the longest pauses in CPR, which can improve survival outcomes 2,3. A Child Mode button reduces defibrillation energy for paediatric patients using the same electrodes, and an optional bilingual feature enables the rescuer to toggle to a second pre-set language.
Using Wi-Fi® or cellular connectivity in designated markets, the self-monitoring LIFEPAK CR2 connects to LIFELINKcentral AED Program Manager to enable an organization’s AED manager to remotely monitor and manage device readiness issues such as low battery or expired electrodes. This helps ensure the device is always ready to use when needed. The LIFEPAK CR2 also reports via LIFELINKcentral when a device is being used and pads have been placed on the victim by transmitting near real-time email alerts.
A complete system of care must quickly come together to maximize a victim’s chance of survival. To support incoming emergency services and professionals providing care at the receiving hospital, the LIFEPAK CR2 can be configured to send near real-time event data via Wi-Fi, including measured heart rhythm and shocks delivered, to incoming emergency services using the LIFENET ® AED Event Viewer™ application.
“The LIFEPAK CR2 Defibrillator with LIFELINKcentral AED Program Manager seamlessly connects the complex links in a cardiac arrest emergency response – from total system readiness to effective bystander use and early emergency response notification,” said Ryan Landon, Vice President and General Manager, AED Solutions, Physio-Control. “By maximising connectivity to medical caregivers while minimising delays in administering lifesaving therapy, the LIFEPAK CR2 with LIFELINKcentral AED Program Manager provides continuity across the entire system of care.”
The entire LIFEPAK AED Response System combines new technology along with connectivity and simplicity to keep AED program managers and rescuers focused on what matters – saving more lives.
