Preface
ABOUT DEFIBRILLATION
Defibrillation is a recognized means of terminating certain potentially fatal arrhythmias. A direct current defibrillator applies a brief, high-energy pulse of electricity to the heart muscle. The Physio-Control LIFEPAK delivers this energy through disposable defibrillation electrodes applied to the patient's chest.
Defibrillation is only one aspect of the medical care required to resuscitate a patient with a shockable ECG rhythm. Depending on the situation, other measures may include:
• Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
• Supplemental oxygen
• Drug therapy
It is recognized that successful resuscitation is related to the length of time between the onset of a heart rhythm that does not circulate blood (ventricular fibrillation, pulseless ventricular tachycardia) and defibrillation. The American Heart Association has identified the following as critical links in the chain of survival from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
• Early access
• Early CPR by first responders or bystanders
®
1000 defibrillator is an automated external defibrillator (AED) that
• Early defibrillation
• Early advanced life support
The physiological state of the patient may affect the likelihood of successful defibrillation. Thus, failure to resuscitate a patient is not a reliable indicator of defibrillator performance. Often, patients will exhibit a muscular response (such as jumping or twitching) during energy transfer. The absence of such a response is not a reliable indicator of actual energy delivered or defibrillator performance.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
Defibrillation
Defibrillation is a recognized means of terminating certain potentially fatal arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation and symptomatic ventricular tachycardia.
The defibrillator is to be used in AED mode only on patients who are in cardiopulmonary arrest. The patient must be unresponsive, not breathing normally, and showing no signs of circulation.
The defibrillator may be used with standard defibrillation pads only on adults and children who are 8 years old or more or who weigh more than 25 kg (55 lbs). The defibrillator may be used on children who are less than 8 years old or weigh less than 25 kg (55 lbs) with Infant/Child Reduced Energy Defibrillation Electrodes.
ECG Monitoring
ECG monitoring is for use on conscious and unconscious patients of all ages for the purpose of ECG rhythm recognition and heart rate monitoring.
vi LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator Operating Instructions
Preface
OPERATOR CONSIDERATIONS
The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator requires operator interaction to defibrillate the patient.
The defibrillator is intended for use by personnel who are authorized by a physician or medical director and have, at a minimum, the following skills and training.
•CPR training
• Defibrillator training equivalent to that recommended by the American Heart Association
• Training in the use of the LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator
The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator is intended for use in hospital and out-of-hospital environments.
Manual mode is intended for use by personnel trained in ECG recognition who want to use the defibrillator to deliver a shock independent of AED mode. The operator has control over the charging and delivery of shocks.
ECG mode provides a nondiagnostic ECG display and is intended for use by personnel trained in ECG recognition to allow for rhythm and heart rate monitoring using standard ECG electrodes. When in ECG mode, the defibrillator’s shock capability is disabled; however, the LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator continues to analyze the patient’s ECG for a potentially shockable rhythm.
ABOUT THE LIFEPAK 1000 DEFIBRILLATOR
The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator is a semiautomatic model that can be operated in either of three modes: AED mode, Manual mode, and ECG mode. The defibrillator uses the patented Physio-Control Shock Advisory System™ (SAS) to analyze the patient's electrocardiographic (ECG) rhythm and prompts you when it detects a shockable rhythm and when it does not detect a shockable rhythm. Responder interaction is required to provide therapy (defibrillation) to the patient.
Defibrillator Features
The following paragraphs introduce the LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator features.
Heart Rhythm Analysis
The patented Physio-Control Shock Advisory System evaluates the patient’s heart rhythm.
ECG Display (optional)
This feature allows display of the ECG using the 3-wire (Lead II) cable and when using the defibrillator in AED mode. This feature is also necessary to use the defibrillator in Manual mode.
Defibrillation Waveform
The defibrillation shock, using ADAPTIV™ Biphasic technology, is delivered in the form of a biphasic truncated exponential (BTE) defibrillation waveform. LIFEPAK biphasic defibrillators measure the patient’s transthoracic impedance and automatically adjust the defibrillation waveform current, duration, and voltage to meet the needs of the individual patient. Patient impedance is measured whenever defibrillation electrodes are in contact with the patient.
LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator Operating Instructions vii
©2006-2012 Physio-Control, Inc.
Preface
cprMAX™ Technology
The cprMAX technology is designed to allow resuscitation protocols to maximize the amount of CPR administered during treatment using the LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator.
When used with the factory default settings enabled, the defibrillator allows AED protocols to be consistent with the 2005 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care and European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Resuscitation.
Data Management
The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator digitally records patient data, including ECG rhythm and delivered shocks. Recorded data may be transferred from the defibrillator to a PC using an
®
infrared connection. The PC must have one of our LIFENET
products installed to collect and
review the recorded patient data.
Battery Options
A nonrechargeable lithium manganese dioxide (Li/MnO2) battery or a rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery provides power to the defibrillator. Both batteries have indicators that show the approximate state of charge. The nonrechargeable battery is best suited for low-use applications. The rechargeable battery is best suited for high-use defibrillator applications, such as fire departments and ambulance services. It requires periodic recharging by an external battery charger. To save battery life if the defibrillator is accidentally turned on or left on, the defibrillator automatically turns off if it is not connected to a patient and no buttons are pressed for 5 minutes.
Daily Self-Test
The defibrillator performs a daily self-test every 24 hours and every time you turn on the defibrillator. This feature tests the most important circuitry in the defibrillator to give the responder a high degree of confidence that it is ready for use.
Readiness Display
The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator includes a readiness display. The OK symbol appears in the display if the daily self-test is completed successfully. A battery symbol that approximates the remaining state of charge is also visible. If the self-test detects that service is required, the
OK
symbol disappears and the service symbol appears.

Safety
WARNINGS! (CONTINUED)
Possible device shutdown.
Always have access to a spare, fully-charged, properly maintained battery. Replace the battery when the device displays a low battery warning.
Possible improper device performance.
Using other manufacturers’ cables, electrodes, or batteries may cause the device to perform improperly and invalidates the safety agency certification and may invalidate the warranty. Use only the accessories specified in these operating instructions.
Safety risk and possible equipment damage.
Monitors, defibrillators, and their accessories (including electrodes and cables) contain ferromagnetic materials. As with all ferromagnetic equipment, these products must not be used in the presence of the high magnetic field created by a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) device. The high magnetic field created by an MRI device will attract the equipment with a force sufficient to cause death or serious personal injury to persons between the equipment and the MRI device. This magnetic attraction may also damage the equipment. Skin burns will also occur due to heating of electrically conductive materials, such as patient leads and pulse oximeter sensors. Consult the MRI manufacturer for more information.
CAUTION!
Possible equipment damage.
This device may be damaged by mechanical or physical abuse such as immersion in water or dropping the device. If the device has been abused, remove it from use and contact authorized service personnel.

BATTERY INDICATORS

The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator can be powered by two types of batteries:
• A nonrechargeable Lithium manganese dioxide battery
• A rechargeable Lithium-ion battery
Battery Charge Level Indicators
Both battery types have a fuel gauge that indicates the approximate charge level of the battery when it is not installed in a defibrillator. Push the gray button below the battery symbol to check the battery’s charge level before installing it in the defibrillator.
Note: Always carry a spare, fully-charged battery.
For both battery types, the four battery indicators shown here represent approximate charge.
> 75% charge > 50% charge > 25% charge 25% charge or less
Figure 2-3 Battery Charge Indicators
Note: The fuel gauge on a new rechargeable battery will not function until the battery has
been charged for the first time.
Battery Warning Indicators
For both battery types, a single flashing LED indicates the battery charge level is very low. The battery should be removed from service for charging (rechargeable battery) or disposal (nonrechargeable battery).
For rechargeable batteries only, two flashing LEDs indicate the battery is faulty and should be returned to your local Physio-Control representative.
Figure 2-4 Battery Warning Indicators
The nonrechargeable battery is shipped to customers fully charged. All four LEDs should illuminate when the fuel gauge is activated. Check the charge level of a new nonrechargeable battery before putting it into service. When optimally maintained, a new nonrechargeable battery can provide approximately 17 hours of “ON time” or 440 discharges at 200 joules.
The rechargeable battery is shipped to customers at approximately 40% charge and must be fully charged before use. Charge the battery fully within six months of when you receive it and at

least once every six months thereafter. When optimally maintained, a new fully-charged battery provides approximately ten hours on “ON time” or 261 discharges at 200 joules. Since all rechargeable batteries permanently lose battery capacity over time, and because battery capacity together with the level of battery charge determines how long a rechargeable battery will provide defibrillator power, you can expect that a fully-charged battery’s “ON time” will decrease with age.

BATTERY CHARGER INDICATORS

The LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator Battery Charger is intended for use with LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator Lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable batteries. No other batteries are compatible with this charger. For complete battery charger information, refer to the LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator Battery Charger Instructions for Use provided with the charger.
When power is applied to the battery charger, both LEDs on the charger flash briefly and then turn off. Before inserting a battery, inspect the battery contacts for obvious damage or foreign substances. Figure 2-5 describes the LEDs on the battery charger when a rechargeable battery is inserted.

Defibrillation Warnings and Cautions

WARNINGS!
Shock hazard.
The defibrillator delivers up to 360 J of electrical energy. When discharging the defibrillator, do not touch the disposable therapy electrodes.
Shock hazard.
If a person is touching the patient, bed, or any conductive material in contact with the patient during defibrillation, the delivered energy may be partially discharged through that person. Clear everyone away from contact with the patient, bed, and other conductive material before discharging the defibrillator.
Possible skin burns.
During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and therapy electrodes may cause patient skin burns. Apply therapy electrodes so that entire electrode adheres to skin. Do not reposition the electrodes once applied. If the position must be changed, remove and replace with new electrodes.
Possible skin burns and ineffective energy delivery.
Therapy electrodes that are dried out or damaged may cause electrical arcing and patient skin burns during defibrillation. Do not use therapy electrodes that have been removed from foil package for more than 24 hours. Do not use electrodes beyond expiration date. Check that electrode adhesive is intact and undamaged. Replace therapy electrodes after 50 shocks.
Possible interference with implanted electrical device.
Defibrillation may cause implanted devices to malfunction. Place therapy electrodes away from implanted devices if possible. Check implanted device function after defibrillation, if possible.
Possible misinterpretation of data.
Do not analyze in a moving vehicle. Motion artifact may affect the ECG signal resulting in an inappropriate shock or no shock advised message. Motion detection may delay analysis. Stop vehicle and stand clear of patient during analysis.
Possible misinterpretation of data.
Do not move the AED during analysis. Moving the AED during analysis may affect the ECG signal resulting in an inappropriate shock or no shock advised decision. Do not touch the patient or the AED during analysis.
CAUTION!
Possible equipment damage.
Before using this defibrillator, disconnect all equipment that is not defibrillator-protected from the patient.
