Versatile Defibrillation and Multi-Parameter Monitoring in a Field-Proven Platform
The Physio-Control LIFEPAK® 12 Defibrillator/Monitor is a rugged, multi-parameter
defibrillator and critical care monitor designed for both pre-hospital and in-hospital use.
Built on decades of LIFEPAK innovation, it combines ADAPTIV™ biphasic defibrillation up to 360 J
with comprehensive monitoring capabilities in a single portable device, helping clinicians manage
acute cardiac and critically ill patients from first response through hospital care.
The LIFEPAK 12 supports manual defibrillation, AED mode with Shock Advisory System™,
synchronized cardioversion, and non-invasive pacing. Advanced monitoring options include
12-lead ECG acquisition and transmission, ST-segment monitoring for early ischemia
detection, Microstream® EtCO2 capnography, MASIMO SET® SpO2,
non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), and up to two invasive pressure channels.
A large, high-resolution display and simple selector knob interface make it easy to review
waveforms and vital signs when every second counts.
Integrated data management features allow storage of CODE SUMMARY™ event records and
continuous ECG, with transmission via modem, serial, or Bluetooth® connection to LIFENET®
receiving stations for STEMI management and post-event review. Rugged construction, IPX4
splash resistance, and a wide operating temperature range support demanding EMS and
hospital environments.
This pre-owned unit delivers the same proven LIFEPAK performance and accessory
compatibility at a significantly lower cost, making it a smart choice for EMS agencies,
emergency departments, and critical care units seeking a reliable, field-tested defibrillator/monitor.
Key Features:
- ADAPTIV™ biphasic technology with escalating energy up to 360 J for difficult-to-defibrillate patients.
- Dual-mode operation with manual defibrillation and AED Shock Advisory System™ capability.

- Optional Microstream® EtCO2, MASIMO SET® SpO2,
NIBP, and two invasive pressure channels for advanced monitoring.
- Non-invasive pacing in demand and non-demand modes with adjustable rate and current.
- Large, high-resolution LCD/EL display with multiple waveform views and trend displays.
- Internal memory for CODE SUMMARY™, continuous ECG, trends, and vital signs; data export to
CODE-STAT™ and LIFENET® systems.
- Rugged, IPX4 splash-resistant design with extensive drop and vibration testing for EMS use.
