For the Lifepak 15
Orange County Emergency Services 2014
 Bluetooth® technology is technology that allows
you to
share voice, data, music, photos, videos and other
information wirelessly between paired devices.
 Mobile
phones, FM radio and television all use radio
waves to send information wirelessly. Bluetooth®
technology exchanges data over shorter distances using
radio transmissions.
 When two Bluetooth®
enabled devices connect to each
other, this is called pairing.
 What
has Bluetooth® connection?
 The
Ambulance
 The Laptop Computer
 The Lifepak 15 Monitor
 You will
use Bluetooth® to connect and transmit your
data from the Lifepak 15 monitor to the Zoll Program
using the ambulance’s connection.

You MUST secure the connectivity to the truck and to the laptop
computer using your monitor at the beginning of each shift.

Each device will now be able to communicate once they are in range
and Bluetooth® technology is on.
 Devices
must be connected (and paired) in order to communicate.

Once connected, the monitor will re-connect to the truck
automatically once it is within range. This range is a good distance
however you might have instances where you need to move closer to
the ambulance.

Once a device has been found it, will continue to display the device in
the device options list.
The Lifepak 15 has a Bluetooth® connection.
It’s status found, when powered on, in the top right
hand corner of the screen and represented by the
blue box with white triangles inside. The light next to
this box indicates connection status. On means
connected. Off means not connected.

From Active Call or Archives on LifePak monitor: press transmit.
Select Data you wish to transmit to the laptop. Verify the Location
is the Laptop you are holding.

It will transmit quickly to 99% then delay until transmitted. This is

way through the Gateway.

CodeSTAT is a new program that we can use
to analyze cardiac arrests. When you have a

data to codestat.
You will upload to your computer like normal

 Before
you call, Try these alternatives:
The cliché but proven “Power Down and Restart” Method
 Reconnecting Bluetooth® to devices
 Verify you are close in Range to the Ambulance
 Verify you are not in the “Dead Zone” areas that are
sporadic through Orange County. (Where you have no
radio or cell phone signal either).
 Verify the Wireless switch on the side of the Laptops is not
switched to off. Doing this will shut off capabilities.
 Verify the devices you are connected to are the correct
devices. (Did off going shift get a new computer and
forget to mention?; Did you switch trucks?; etc. )

Call your Supervisor first if you are having
Bluetooth® Connectivity issues. They have the cable
cords for you to use until the problem is fixed or a
solution is found.
The Supervisors will call the necessary parties
(Scott, Billy, Kevin, IT) if needed.
Did something very-very-weird, bad, confusing, itwas-just-working-a-minute-ago happen? Refer to
the Error Message Alternatives and then call your
supervisor.
 Exactly!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
