Patient Records and Reports

When you turn on the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator, a new Patient Record is created and

stamped with the current date and time. All events and associated waveforms are digitally stored in

the Patient Record as reports, which you can print, transmit, or download to the LIFENET

System,

or to post-event review products such as CODE-STAT™ or DT EXPRESS™ software. For information

to transmit or download a report, see Chapter 8, "Data Transmission." When you turn off the device,

the current Patient Record is saved in the archives.

You can also print, transmit, download, or delete any Patient Records that are stored in the

archives. To access the archives, press

OPTIONS

and then select

ARCHIVES

. When you enter Archive

mode, patient monitoring ends and the current Patient Record is saved and closed. Turn off the

device to exit Archive mode. For more information, see "Managing Archived Patient Records" on

Report Types

The reports that are available in a Patient Record depend on the features in your device and how

your device is set up. For information on setting up your device, see the LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/

Defibrillator Setup Options provided with your device. Table 7-1 describes the various report types

that may exist in a Patient Record and how they can be accessed.
