Physio Control LIFEPAK CR2

LIFEPAK® CR2 Defibrillator
with LIFELINKcentral™ AED Program Manager

A new approach to public access defibrillation

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can happen to anyone—anywhere. Immediate treatment is vital. A victim’s chance of survival dramatically decreases for every minute without treatment.1 That’s why public access defibrillators are so important. They put lifesaving technology where it can do the most good. So when an emergency happens, you should have nothing less than the best.

Visualize a future where better technology enables better outcomes—and more lives saved. The groundbreaking LIFEPAK CR2 Defibrillator with LIFELINKcentral AED Program Manager is at the heart of a complete AED response system. Everything and everyone involved are connected, reducing unnecessary delays when a SCA occurs. It’s exactly the breakthrough technology you’d expect from the industry leader.

LIFELINKcentral™ AED Program Manager

Self-monitoring means you’re emergency ready

AEDs are effective only if they are close at hand and ready to work. Whether you have one AED, or 100 spread across the globe, now you can know the readiness status and location of each one. Ongoing system maintenance has been time-consuming and error-prone—until now.

The LIFELINKcentral AED Program Manager monitors each CR2 connected to a cellular network or Wi-Fi® and alerts you to anything that may affect device readiness – all automatically.

Battery not charged? AED not where it’s supposed to be? You’ll receive an alert through the LIFELINKcentral program manager, helping to greatly reduce the effort and expense of managing your AED program, while increasing your program’s readiness and effectiveness.

Connectivity is the foundation for better care.

Wi-Fi connectivity can give emergency responders a complete picture of each SCA event. So even before they arrive, they are better prepared for the patient, knowing details of shocks given, seeing the actual patient’s ECG and more. This continuity of care follows patients to the hospital as well, and carries over for providers connected to the LIFENET® System. After an event, all information can be seamlessly sent via a cellular network or Wi-Fi and integrated into one patient care record report, without having to download event data directly from the AED.

Continuous CPR increases survival rates

While other AEDs may offer CPR feedback through the use of an accelerometer or additional tool, the CR2 provides the right amount of instruction and includes new cprINSIGHT™ analysis technology. Once CPR begins, cprINSIGHT technology automatically analyses and detects if a shock is needed. This significantly reduces pauses in chest compressions, even eliminating pauses if the rhythm is determined to be nonshockable. And more CPR means improved blood circulation and better odds of survival.

The CR2 is the only AED that allows chest compressions during ECG rhythm analysis thereby reducing pauses between CPR and defibrillation. In an AED comparison study, the CR2 helped lay responders deliver the highest overall CPR quality.5 If a shockable rhythm is detected, the CR2 delivers shocks with powerful escalating energy, with no judgment call required on the part of the user. Proven superior by competitive testing, the CR2 will keep the rescuer focused on what really matters—saving a life.

Fastest time to first shock.

Designed for user confidence

For a minimally trained responder, intervening in an unfolding emergency can be intimidating. Responders need the easiest possible AED to instill confidence.

While other AEDs may be difficult to use or require users to stop CPR during analysis, the LIFEPAK CR2 defibrillator uses simple graphics, audible instructions and automated features to help users remain focused. We’ve removed all the guesswork with proven better results.

The CR2 was rated easiest to use, easiest to hear and highest in overall user confidence by AED users.
