If you ever encounter someone in sudden cardiac arrest, you’ll want to help. CPR is not enough—defibrillation is the only treatment for sudden cardiac arrest.

Medtronic, the world leader in medical technology, created the LIFEPAK CR Plus defibrillator specifically for the first person at the scene of a sudden cardiac arrest. Designed for the minimally trained and infrequent rescuer, it’s easy to understand and use in a cardiac emergency, when every second counts. It’s just plain simple.

The CR Plus offers the quality and performance preferred by the vast majority of emergency medical teams around the world. Sleek and lightweight, the CR Plus uses the latest ADAPTIV™ biphasic technology and upholds the standards of excellence found in all LIFEPAK products.

The CR Plus is available in a semiautomatic and fully automatic model. With the semiautomatic CR Plus you assess the person in sudden cardiac arrest, then open the device and apply the electrodes. The device analyzes the heart’s rhythm and tells you to push a button if the heart needs a shock. The fully automatic CR Plus requires just the first two steps, and the device does the rest.
