Medtronic/Physio Control LifePak AEDs
Medtronic/Physio Control offers the LifePak Express, LifePak CR+ (Semi-Automatic), LifePak CR+ (Fully Automatic), and the LifePak 1000 automated external defibrillators (AEDs). The LifePak Express and LifePak CR+ AEDs are made for any organization that's implementing an AED Program to create a "heart safe" enviornment. The LifePak 1000 is geared towards organizations in the medical field such as first responders and doctor's offices that need a portable device on hand.
All of the LifePak AEDs have escalating energy with a range of 200J, 300J, 360J. When a shock is given, if the victim's heart doesn't regulate, then the energy will increase and another shock will be provided. The energy will increase until it reaches 360J and it will continue to shock at that rate.
Medtronic/Physio Control has just increased the warranty for the LifePak CR+ AED from 5 years to 8 years for all LifePak CR+ AEDs manufactured after Janurary 2010. The LifePak Express and LifePak 1000 AEDs have a 5 year warranty.
