Defibrillator without pacer
The cardiolife TEC-1021 is the version without pacer of the cardiolife TEC-1000 series from Nihon Kohden, a monitor-defibrillator for hospitals. The TEC-1031 also has transcutaneous pacing.
The device ends ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia with a short, powerful shock. It also measures the ECG and can perform asynchronous defibrillation and synchronised cardioversion, for atrial flutter among other things.
What the device can do
- Energy: selectable from 2 to 270 J, with fast charging to 150 J in under 3 seconds (full battery) and ECG recovery within 3 seconds.
- AED mode: continuous VF/VT analysis in the background. For a child aged 6 or younger, use child mode.
- Operation: 10.4-inch touchscreen and a rotary knob.
- Battery: 300 minutes of continuous monitoring, or 150 shocks of 270 J.
According to the series brochure there are options for SpO₂, CO₂ and NIBP, for esCCO (estimated cardiac output) and synECi18 (18-lead ECG), and for CPR feedback with the CPR assist. All details, options and accessories are on the page cardiolife TEC-1000.
Safety and use
The device is intended for medical personnel trained in resuscitation. Do not use it in an MR examination room, with flammable anaesthetic gas or a high oxygen concentration, or in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Always read the manufacturer’s safety information and operator’s manual.
Which version and options suit your situation, we discuss with you beforehand.
