Profile: Physio Control, Inc. manufactures products for all tiers of a multi-level emergency response system, from trained lay responders to emergency medical technicians and paramedics, to hospital-based caregivers. Our products include defibrillators, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) assist devices and accessories. The Lifepak15 monitor/defibrillator is powered by lithium-ion battery technology, and incorporates the sunvue display screen for viewability in bright sunlight, & data connectivity to easily & securely collect & send patient information. The LUCAS® chest compression system is an external medical device that provides chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The rescuer attaches LUCAS to the patient and then turns it on, so that the device can take over to provide chest compressions for the resuscitation effort.
The company has ~920 employees and is ISO 9001, CE certified. NYSE:MDT (SEC Filings)

| • Automatic Chest, Compression Systems |
| • Automatic External Defibrillator (FDA Code: MKJ / 870.5310) An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a low-energy device with a rhythm recognition detection system that delivers into a 50 ohm test load an electrical shock of a maximum of 360 joules of energy used for defibrillating (restoring normal heart rhythm) the atria or ventricles of the heart. An AED analyzes the patient's electrocardiogram, interprets the cardiac rhythm, and automatically delivers an electrical shock (fully automated AED), or advises the user to deliver the shock (semi-automated or shock advisory AED) to treat ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. |
| • Battery-Powered Defibrillator |
| • Battery-Powered Defibrillator/Monitor |
| • Blood Pressure Computer (FDA Code: DSK / 870.1110) A blood pressure computer is a device that accepts the electrical signal from a blood pressure transducer amplifier and indicates the systolic, diastolic, or mean pressure based on the input signal. |
| • Cardiac Monitor (Cardiotachometer and Rate Alarm) (FDA Code: DRT / 870.2300) A cardiac monitor (including cardiotachometer and rate alarm) is a device used to measure the heart rate from an analog signal produced by an electrocardiograph, vectorcardiograph, or blood pressure monitor. This device may sound an alarm when the heart rate falls outside preset upper and lower limits. |
| • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Aid Kit (FDA Code: OEV / 868.5915) A manual emergency ventilator is a device, usually incorporating a bag and valve, intended to provide emergency respiratory support by means of a face mask or a tube inserted into a patient's airway. |
| • Defibrillators |
| • Electrocardiograph Electrode (FDA Code: DRX / 870.2360) An electrocardiograph electrode is the electrical conductor which is applied to the surface of the body to transmit the electrical signal at the body surface to a processor that produces an electrocardiogram or vectorcardiogram. |
| • Gaseous Phase Carbon-Dioxide Gas Analyzer (FDA Code: CCK / 868.1400) A carbon dioxide gas analyzer is a device intended to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in a gas mixture to aid in determining the patient's ventilatory, circulatory, and metabolic status. The device may use techniques such as chemical titration, absorption of infrared radiation, gas chromatography, or mass spectrometry. |
| • Low Energy DC-Defibrillator (FDA Code: LDD / 870.5300) A low-energy DC-defibrillator is a device that delivers into a 50 ohm test load an electrical shock of a maximum of 360 joules of energy used for defibrillating (restoring normal heart rhythm) the atria or ventricles of the heart or to terminate other cardiac arrhythmias. This generic type of device includes low energy defibrillators with a maximum electrical output of less than 360 joules of energy that are used in pediatric defibrillation or in cardiac surgery. The device may either synchronize the shock with the proper phase of the electrocardiogram or may operate asynchronously. The device delivers the electrical shock through paddles placed either directly across the heart or on the surface of the body. |
| • Manual Defibrillator |
| • Multi-Function Electrocardiograph Electrode (FDA Code: MLN / 870.2360) |
| • Non Invasive External Transcutaneous Cardiac Pacemaker (FDA Code: DRO / 870.5550) An external transcutaneous cardiac pacemaker (noninvasive) is a device used to supply a periodic electrical pulse intended to pace the heart. The pulse from the device is usually applied to the surface of the chest through electrodes such as defibrillator paddles. |
| • Non-Invasive Blood-Pressure Measurement System (FDA Code: DXN / 870.1130) A noninvasive blood pressure measurement system is a device that provides a signal from which systolic, diastolic, mean, or any combination of the three pressures can be derived through the use of tranducers placed on the surface of the body. |
| • Oximeters (FDA Code: DQA / 870.2700) An oximeter is a device used to transmit radiation at a known wavelength(s) through blood and to measure the blood oxygen saturation based on the amount of reflected or scattered radiation. It may be used alone or in conjunction with a fiberoptic oximeter catheter. |
| • Physiological Monitors Network and Communication System (FDA Code: MSX / 870.2300) |
