Defibrillation & ActiBiphasic Technology
The Cardiolife TEC-5600 utilizes ActiBiphasic technology for lower-energy defibrillation.
The system supports both automatic external defibrillation and manual defibrillation, allowing the device to be used across different levels of emergency cardiac care.
Synchronized Cardioversion
The TEC-5600 also supports synchronized cardioversion, enabling synchronized shock delivery when clinically indicated.
Non-Invasive Pacing
The device includes non-invasive pacing, providing an additional therapy capability for appropriately trained clinical teams.
Rapid Charging & ECG Recovery
The supplied specification states that the TEC-5600 can charge to 200J in less than 4 seconds when operating with AC power or a charged battery.
Following shock delivery, the ECG baseline recovers in under 3 seconds, supporting rapid continuation of patient assessment and resuscitation.
Continuous VF Analysis During CPR
A key feature of the Cardiolife TEC-5600 is its ability to perform continuous ECG waveform analysis during CPR.
The system can also pre-charge energy before a shock is advised, helping reduce delays during the resuscitation workflow.
6.5-Inch Color Display
The TEC-5600 features a 6.5-inch high-resolution color TFT LCD display with:
- 640 × 480 pixel resolution
- Backlit screen
- High-resolution color display
The display provides the interface for monitoring and defibrillation-related information.
Smart Cable System
The Smart Cable System uses plug-and-play modular sensors for:
The supplied information states that these sensors are interchangeable with other Nihon Kohden monitors, supporting flexible clinical monitoring configurations.
Connectivity & Data Management
The TEC-5600 provides:
- Bluetooth connectivity
- SD card interface
- Mobile ECG data transmission
- Event data transmission
These connectivity features support transfer and management of ECG and event information.
