I couldn’t help but notice that in Physio-Control’s new video the LP15 says ***MEETS ST ELEVATION MI CRITERIA*** and not ***ACUTE MI SUSPECTED***.
Interesting.

See the new spec sheet here (.pdf) which specifically highlights the new interpretive statement.
I even found the article I wrote with Dr. Rokos listed in the references (#14).

Hey Tom,It might interest you that the Lifepak 15 manual is now online at Physio Control’s website. One of the more interesting new features is the ST-trending software…apparently takes a 12-lead snapshot every 30 seconds to see if the ST-segment has elevated more than 0.1 mv…if it lasts longer than 2.5 minutes a new 12-lead is generated. I kind of want to see their physician manual on the Glasgow algorithm but they haven’t posted it yet. http://www.physio-control.com/uploadedFiles/products/defibrillators/product_data/operational_manuals/LIFEPAK_15_Operating_Instructions_3207184-002.pdf
Wow! Thanks, Mark! I’m glad you passed that along.Tom
