Identifying a Biphasic LIFEPAK 500 AED

How do I know if my LIFEPAK 500 AED is Biphasic?

There are two basic ways to tell if your LIFEPAK 500 AED is Biphasic:

1. The Main Keypad label
2. The Part Number (PN) on the manufacturer's label.

Main Keypad label — Printed on this black label (located on the face of the device) is the consumer identification of the model and type. If the AED is biphasic it would be printed in smaller lettering underneath the LIFEPAK 500 that is printed in the upper left corner. The label would state either "3D Biphasic" or simply "Biphasic" depending on the age of the device. A device with neither of these statements is older and monophasic.

Part Number — If the PN on the manufacturer's label (located on the bottom of the LIFEPAK 500 AED) is 3005400-XXXXXX the AED is Monophasic. If the PN is 3011790-XXXXXX the AED is Biphasic.

Other Notes:

Although the Serial Numbers (SN) of various LIFEPAK 500 AEDs may seem older, they do not directly tell you if your AED is a Biphasic model. Please use the above methods. If you have trouble identifying your AED, please call Physio-Control Technical Support at 800-442-1142, option 5 and provide Technical Support with the Serial Number (SN). They can look up the configuration form our master database and confirm if your device is monophasic or biphasic.
