Defibrillation & Cardioversion
The Cardiolife TEC 5621 uses ActiBiphasic technology for biphasic defibrillation.
Energy Range
-
Energy selection: 2–270J
-
Charging to 200J: under 4 seconds
-
ECG baseline recovery: under 3 seconds after a shock
The device supports both AED and manual defibrillation, allowing it to be used in different levels of emergency response according to operator training and configuration.
Synchronized Cardioversion
The TEC 5621 also supports synchronized cardioversion, allowing appropriately trained clinicians to deliver synchronized therapy for arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation.
AED Function
The Cardiolife TEC 5621 provides an Automated External Defibrillation (AED) mode in addition to manual defibrillation.
This provides flexibility for emergency medical services and hospital resuscitation teams that may require both automated and professional manual operating modes.
Non-Invasive Pacing
The device supports non-invasive pacing, with availability dependent on the particular model/configuration.
This provides temporary external pacing capability when clinically indicated.
Advanced Patient Monitoring
The TEC 5621 can function as a monitor-defibrillator rather than simply a defibrillation device.

ec1 Arrhythmia Analysis
The Cardiolife TEC 5621 incorporates ec1 arrhythmia analysis, an advanced algorithm designed to improve analysis accuracy and reduce false alarms.
This supports continuous clinical assessment alongside the device's defibrillation and monitoring functions.
Smart Cable System
The Smart Cable System provides plug-and-play modular connectivity for patient monitoring.
It allows compatible monitoring modules and sensors to be connected according to the required clinical configuration, helping make the monitor-defibrillator adaptable to different emergency and critical-care applications.
Display
The device features a:
- 6.5-inch high-resolution color TFT LCD
-
Up to 4 simultaneous waveforms
The display provides visualization of patient monitoring information during emergency care and resuscitation.
Data Management & Connectivity
The TEC 5621 provides several options for managing clinical and event information:
- Bluetooth data transmission
-
Built-in voice recorder
-
Optional SD card storage
These features can support event documentation and transfer of relevant device data.
Adult & Pediatric Use
The Cardiolife TEC 5621 supports adult and pediatric resuscitation using appropriate color-coded/size-specific electrodes and adult/child pad options.
Selection of the appropriate electrodes and configuration should follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable clinical protocols.
Battery Performance
The supplied specifications indicate:
-
Approximately 180 minutes of continuous monitoring
-
At least 100 discharges at 270J
These figures are dependent on the specified battery condition and operating configuration.
