Physio-Control LIFEPAK® 12
Proven cardiac resuscitation performance for emergency response teams.
The Physio-Control LIFEPAK 12 is a professional monitor-defibrillator designed for EMS providers and hospital clinicians, combining defibrillation therapy, external pacing, and multi-parameter monitoring to support advanced cardiac life support in pre-hospital and in-hospital emergencies.
The LIFEPAK 12 Defibrillator Monitor from Physio-Control (now part of Stryker) is engineered to deliver reliable cardiac therapy and physiologic monitoring in demanding emergency environments. Widely used by paramedics, ambulance services, and hospital code teams, the device integrates resuscitation capability with real-time patient monitoring to assist clinicians during critical cardiac events.
The system supports manual defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion, and external pacing, allowing management of a broad range of life-threatening arrhythmias. Its clear display presents ECG waveforms and vital parameters in real time, enabling quick rhythm recognition and therapy decisions. Optional monitoring features such as SpO₂, NIBP, and EtCO₂ further enhance patient assessment during transport and stabilization. Built with rugged construction and battery operation, the LIFEPAK 12 is suitable for field response, ambulance use, and hospital emergency care.
