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 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care and 2015 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/MnO
(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.
