6-2 LIFEPAK CR Plus and LIFEPAK EXPRESS Defibrillator Operating Instructions
Defibrillator Operating Settings
OPERATING SETTINGS AND SETUP CONFIGURATION
The LIFEPAK CR Plus and LIFEPAK EXPRESS defibrillators have several operating settings. The
settings range from defining the time and date used by the defibrillator, to the energy sequence and
protocol of the shocks delivered. This group of operating settings are the defibrillator’s setup
configuration.
Table 6-1 identifies operating settings in the setup configuration, describes each setting, including
possible options, and identifies the preset defaults. These settings can be specially configured in
accordance with customer order.

Operating Settings Description Default Setting
Device ID Device ID is a unique identifier (ID) assigned to
each defibrillator used for tracking the location of
defibrillators. When you transfer event data from
the defibrillator to a PC, the defibrillator ID will be
included in the transferred data. Serial Number
Energy Sequence Energy sequence defines the energy levels used
by the defibrillator.
The energy level choices are: 150, 175, 200, 225,
250, 275, 300, 325, 360.
Level 1 – 200 joules
Level 2 – 300 joules
Level 3 – 360 joules
Energy Protocol Energy protocol determines how the defibrillator
delivers successive shocks. There are two options
for this setting: flexible or fixed.
Flexible sequence means the energy delivered for
a shock increases only if an analysis immediately
following a shock results in another
SHOCK ADVISED
decision. For example, if the defibrillator energy
sequence is set up as 200, 300, 360, flexible
sequence means that the energy delivered for the
first shock is 200 joules. If the arrhythmia is
terminated by shock 1 and the next analysis results
in a
NO SHOCK ADVISED decision, the energy will not
increase for the next shock. However, if the
arrhythmia is not terminated by shock 1 and the
next analysis results in a
SHOCK ADVISED decision,
the energy will increase to 300 joules, and so on.
Fixed sequence means that the energy delivered
after the first shock of 200 joules increases from
200 to 300, and then to 360 joules, regardless of
the post-shock ECG rhythm and subsequent
analysis.
Flexible
CPR Time 1
CPR Time 2
The CPR Time 1 and CPR Time 2 settings define
the time interval for performing CPR after a shock
or after a no shock advised decision.
The choices for CPR Time 1 and CPR Time 2 are
15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, and 180 seconds.
CPR Time 1–120 sec
CPR Time 2–120 sec
