Data Management

MANAGING DEFIBRILLATOR DATA

The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator provides an infrared method to transfer defibrillator data.

Overview of Data Storage

Every time you use the defibrillator, it digitally saves patient data that can be transferred to a PC.
You can provide patient data to aid in case review for quality control, training, and research
purposes. You should become familiar with local requirements for reporting a use of the
LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator and for providing use data. For assistance in retrieving data from the
defibrillator, contact your local Physio-Control sales representative or authorized service
personnel.

Data Stored by the LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator

Whenever you turn on the defibrillator and connect it to a patient, it automatically stores data
about the patient. When this data is transferred to a data management system for review (for
example, CODE-STAT software), three patient reports are available: Event Log, Continuous
ECG, and CODE SUMMARY.
Patient Reports
Table 4-1
Report Type Description
Event Log A chronological log of all events. An event is a condition noted by the
defibrillator. Events are listed on
Continuous ECG Forty minutes of the patient's ECG rhythm beginning when the patient is
connected to the defibrillator and ending when the defibrillator is turned off.
CODE Combines the Event Log and a sampling of continuous ECG rhythms
SUMMARY associated with certain events, such as defibrillation.
The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator can store up to two patient records: one for the current patient
and one for the previous patient. When you use the defibrillator
patient data as soon as possible after use. The Complete Record for the current patient includes
the Continuous ECG and Event Log. If you treat a second patient, the first patient's Continuous
ECG is reformatted into a CODE SUMMARY report. If you treat a third patient, all of the first
patient's data is deleted and the second patient's Continuous ECG is reformatted into a
CODE SUMMARY report.
Patient Records
Table 4-2
Complete Record
Current Patient
Previous Patient
If you turn the defibrillator on and off without attaching electrodes to a patient, the defibrillator
does not create a new patient record and the patient records in the defibrillator are not altered.
The LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator does not delete patient data after you transfer the data to a PC.
The defibrillator deletes previous patient data only when it is connected to a new patient or a
simulator.
