Hospital-Grade Defibrillation and Monitoring for BLS and ALS Teams
The Physio-Control LIFEPAK® 20e Defibrillator/Monitor is a compact, crash-cart–ready
defibrillator designed to support both basic life support (BLS) and
advanced life support (ALS) responders. With its intuitive two-tier user interface,
the 20e can function as an easy-to-use AED for first responders and, with the door
opened, as a full-featured manual defibrillator/monitor for ALS teams. It delivers
up to 360 joules of biphasic energy for difficult-to-defibrillate patients and integrates
seamlessly into the Stryker Resuscitation Management System.
Designed specifically for in-hospital resuscitation, the LIFEPAK 20e supports
comprehensive monitoring with 3- or 5-lead ECG, optional SpO2,
noninvasive pacing, and waveform capnography to confirm airway placement
and assess CPR quality. A built-in CPR metronome helps maintain guideline-compliant
compression rates, while cprMAX™ Technology and the Shock Advisory System™ support
high-quality, protocol-driven resuscitation.
With the optional CodeManagement Module®, the LIFEPAK 20e can
wirelessly transmit patient and device data for post-event review in CODE-STAT™
software and for status monitoring through the LIFENET® system, helping hospitals improve readiness
and performance over time. Daily auto tests, on-screen battery status, and robust construction ensure
that the device is ready whenever a code is called.
This pre-owned unit offers the same trusted LIFEPAK technology and compatibility with
existing Physio-Control accessories at a significantly lower cost, making it an excellent
choice for hospitals seeking dependable, standardized defibrillation and monitoring across the facility.
