LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillator Operating Instructions
Using Bluetooth Wireless Communication
Preparing for a Wireless Transmission
Before you can send wireless transmissions from the LIFEPAK 15 monitor, you must prepare the
monitor and target devices for communication.
The target device must:
• Be Bluetooth-enabled, turned on, and discoverable.
• Have the LIFENET PC Gateway application or the patient care reporting software CODE-STAT or
DT EXPRESS installed and running.
• Have a Bluetooth COM port configured for incoming data.
• Have an established friendly name.
The LIFEPAK 15 monitor must:
• Have at least one transmission site defined that has OUTPUT PORT set to BLUETOOTH WIRELESS .
• Have a Bluetooth passcode that matches the passcode in the target device, if the target device
requires a passcode.
• Have SEARCH FILTER set to ON if you are using the Physio Service Class. For information about the
Physio Service Class, see "Bluetooth Search Filter" later in this chapter.
Bluetooth Passcodes
The LIFEPAK 15 monitor has a Bluetooth passcode that you define.
To transmit from the LIFEPAK 15 monitor to a headless gateway (a device that has no user
interface), the Bluetooth passcode that you enter in the LIFEPAK 15 monitor must match the
Bluetooth passcode that is preconfigured in the gateway. For information about the Bluetooth
passcode in the headless gateway, see the documentation that ships with the gateway, or consult
your system administrator or equipment technician.
To transmit from the LIFEPAK 15 monitor to a PC, you need to set a Bluetooth passcode in the
LIFEPAK 15 monitor, and then enter that passcode on the PC, if prompted.
Bluetooth Search Filter
A Bluetooth-enabled LIFEPAK 15 monitor may discover numerous Bluetooth devices that are within
range. To help filter out extraneous devices and find the specific target device that you want to
transmit to, Physio-Control developed the Physio Service Class (PSC).
The PSC is a prefix that you can add to the friendly name of your target devices. Then when you set
the SEARCH FILTER to ON in the LIFEPAK 15 monitor, only target devices that have the PSC prefix in
their names appear in the list of discovered devices (if they are powered on and discoverable).
