LIFEPAK CR2 Essential Fully-Automatic Defibrillator

The CR2 Essential Fully-Automatic defibrillator combines the two things that suit an unsupervised site on a budget: it shocks without anyone pressing a button, and it costs less than the connected model because it leaves out wireless readiness reporting. CPR Insight still analyses the rhythm while compressions continue, so the rescuer is never asked to stop.

Why choose the CR2 Essential Fully-Automatic?

This is the model for a public-facing location where the responder will be untrained and the budget will not stretch to remote monitoring. The CR2 Essential Fully-Automatic removes the hesitation of a shock button, which is the failure most likely to cost time in that setting.

What you accept in return is manual maintenance. Without Wi-Fi, nothing tells you when the electrodes approach expiry — somebody has to check and record it. In a venue with staff on site that is manageable; in an unstaffed location it is the reason to pay for the connected version instead.

Everything clinical is unchanged: CPR Insight analysing through compressions, the fastest time to first shock, QUIK-STEP electrodes that peel off the base, and an 8-year warranty with a 4-year standby battery.
