Lifeline ECG AED

The AED with rhythm

Meet the AED that’s taking easy-to-use to a whole new level. The Lifeline ECG AED is part of the Lifeline VIEW family of defibrillators that are the first AEDs with full-motion, high-resolution color video. The Lifeline ECG AED offers the ability to view step-by-step CPR videos or ECG information. Additionally, the Lifeline ECG AED can be used in a non-diagnostic ECG monitoring mode, to allow for rhythm and heart rate monitoring.

Video & ECG Display

They say a picture is worth a thousand words; now multiply that with the power of video. The Lifeline ECG AED has a large, full-color interactive display with step-by-step CPR steps, rescue breathing tips plus external defibrillation.
The Lifeline ECG AED allows users to display the patient's ECG data and event information while in AED mode using defibrillation pads.
When sudden cardiac arrest strikes, there is no time to lose. You need to be sure that your AED is ready for rescue. Most other AEDs only signal when there’s a problem. The Lifeline ECG AED’s one touch status screen lets you know that the unit is up to date and in working order—without turning it on.

A Personal Coach At Your Side

In the middle of the rescue, you may not remember how many compressions to provide and the timing between each one. The Lifeline ECG has a built-in metronome that counts out the beat so you know what to do and when to do it. When this icon is present on the screen (during a rescue), the user may press the corresponding softkey button to select CPR coaching with compressions only (no breathing) or CPR coaching with compressions and breathing.

Real-Time Protocol Selection

Switch rescue protocols without skipping a beat, giving you the comfort and confidence to deliver emergency care your way.

Durable

The ECG’s ruggedness is measured by a specific set of criteria. It is one tough little unit, coming out on top in some of the most demanding environmental tests.

Award-Winning Ergonomic Design

Compact, portable and lightweight—under three pounds—the Lifeline ECG AED represents the newest generation in a family of defibrillators that have won a number of industry awards for design and innovation.

Simple to Use

One of the major problems with most AEDs is maintenance. Not with the Lifeline ECG AED. The status screen gives you up to the minute information on maintenance and if it’s required. In addition, built-in video help gives you easy, step-by-step guidance on maintenance that supplements the user manual. Proactive reporting monitors the status of the device and its components.
As protocols change over time, your unit can be upgraded in the field through a USB cable or a data card.
Data from the unit can be recorded or retrieved from the device using a card or USB cable.

Safe and Effective

The Lifeline ECG AED uses biphasic technology, a clinically proven waveform, and algorithm to deliver shocks and save lives. This is one of the most widely used impedance compensated waveforms that has extensive clinical experience and success in thousands of defibrillators around the world. Extensive evaluation in peer-reviewed publications has demonstrated this technology to be the safest and most effective when it comes to saving lives.

One-Touch Status Screen

When sudden cardiac arrest strikes, there is no time to lose. You need to be sure that your AED is ready for rescue. Most other AEDs only signal when there's a problem. The Lifeline ECG's one touch status screen gives you everything you need to know that the unit is up to date and in working order -- without turning it on.

The Lifeline ECG runs extensive self-tests daily to be sure that it’s working properly.

A bright, active status indicator light lets you know the unit is ready.

The device instantly communicates the operational status of the AED, battery and pads, expiration dates, and even gives you unit information such as its serial number.

Brief Summary of Indications, Contradictions, and Other Important Safety Information

When should the Defibtech Automated External Defibrillator (AED) be used - what are its indications?
Lifeline/ReviveR VIEW DDU-2300 and Lifeline/ReviveR ECG DDU-2450 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are indicated for use on victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) who are:
- Unconscious and unresponsive
- Not breathing or not breathing normally
Lifeline/ReviveR VIEW DDU-2300 and Lifeline/ReviveR ECG DDU-2450 AEDs may be used with Defibtech adult defibrillation pads (model number DDP-2001). For patients under 8 years old, or weighing less than 55 lbs (25 kg), use Defibtech child/infant defibrillation pads (model number DDP-2002), if available.
When should the Defibtech AED not be used - what are its contraindications?
Lifeline/ReviveR VIEW DDU-2300 and Lifeline/ReviveR ECG DDU-2450 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) should not be used if the victim is responsive or conscious.
What other information is important about using the AED?
Do not delay therapy to determine the exact age or weight. If pediatric pads are not available, apply adult pads in the position as shown for a child/ infant and use the AED.
What are the potential adverse health effects of using an AED?
The potential adverse effects (e.g., complications) associated with the use of an automated external defibrillator include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Failure to identify shockable arrhythmia.
- Failure to deliver a defibrillation shock in the presence of VF or pulseless VT, which may result in death or permanent injury.
- Inappropriate energy, which could cause failed defibrillation or post-shock dysfunction.
- Myocardial damage.
- Fire hazard in the presence of high oxygen concentration or flammable anesthetic agents.
- Incorrectly shocking a pulse sustaining rhythm and inducing VF or cardiac arrest.
- Bystander shock from patient contact during defibrillation shock.
- Interaction with pacemakers.
- Skin burns around the defibrillation pads placement area.
- Allergic dermatitis due to sensitivity to the materials used in the defibrillation pads construction.
- Minor skin rash.
What are some of the relevant cautions related to the AED?
- Follow all battery pack labeling instructions. Do not install battery packs after the expiration date.
- Follow all defibrillation pad label instructions. Use defibrillation pads prior to their expiration date.
- Use and store the DDU-2000 Series AED only within the range of environmental conditions specified in the technical specifications.

What are some of the relevant warnings related to the AED?
- Hazardous electrical output. This equipment is for use only by qualified personnel.
- Possible fire or explosion. Do not use in the presence of flammable gases or anesthetics. Use care when operating this device close to oxygen sources (such as bag-valve-mask devices or ventilator tubing). Turn off the gas source or move the source away from the patient during defibrillation, if necessary.
- The DDU-2000 Series AED has not been evaluated or approved for use in hazardous locations as defined in the National Electric Code standard. In compliance with IEC classification, the DDU-2000 Series AED is not to be used in the presence of flammable substance/air mixtures.
- Improper maintenance can cause the DDU-2000 Series AED not to function. Maintain the DDU-2000 Series AED only as described in the User Manual and Operating Guide. The AED contains no user-serviceable parts — do not take the unit apart.
- Do not open a sealed pads package until pads are to be used. The packaging should be opened only immediately prior to use, otherwise, the pads may dry out and become non-functional.
- Do not touch the patient during defibrillation. Defibrillation current can cause operator or bystander injury.
- The defibrillation pads are intended for one-time use only and must be discarded after use. Reuse can lead to potential cross-infection, improper performance of the device, inadequate delivery of therapy, and/or injury to the patient or operator.
- CPR during analysis can cause incorrect or delayed diagnosis by the patient analysis system.
- User-initiated and automatic self-tests are designed to assess the DDU-2000 Series AED’s readiness for use. However, no degree of testing can assure performance or detect abuse, damage, or a defect that occurred after the most recent test is completed.
- Even if defibrillation occurs, the sudden cardiac arrest event may not result in survival.
Caution: Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
