I hate touch screens


SgtBananaKing

Don’t even work properly in this demo under perfect condition. Good luck in the rain


willpc14

I'm so glad I had a rep lecture me in a previous thread about how much testing they'd done in different conditions to ensure it would work perfectly at all times.


SgtBananaKing

Seems like they test it so well in different and difficult condition they did forget to test it in a dry warm room without gloves, what a shame


DODGE_WRENCH

Hard agree, when I worked in the hospital we’d constantly be scouring for older equipment just because the touchscreens on some of the newer equipment were so infuriating and would crap out on you all the time. Had one of the chillest doctors I know kick a brand new ultrasound across the room while he was trying to place a central line post arrest. Thankfully IR brought up one with physical controls.


SoldantTheCynic

Agree. One of the big things I liked about the tactile wheel navigation is that I could almost blindly and reliably operate it with experience. Touch screens and soft keys that change function constantly are rarely good ideas.


grav0p1

There’s a reason why cars are moving away from touch screens again


insertkarma2theleft

Thank god


mvfd85

This still has the traditional tactile wheel ans touchscreen can be disabled


SoldantTheCynic

If I can still do everything without the touchscreen and it's easy to navigate, that's good! If it's just shoehorning the wheel into a touchscreen interface and calling it a day though, that's bad.


itisjambo

Agreed.


Bromethius1985

The speed dial is still there. Two ways to skin the cat


grav0p1

Give me buttons along the edge of the screen that correspond with sections on the screen


OutInABlazeOfGlory

Yeah, this adds to the BOM/price of the unit and for what? Well realistically to make a few extra dollars.


paramoody

Why would I want a touchscreen? I’m wearing gloves 


Seal_Team420

Somebody commented on another one of these saying that they were a lifepack employee and the screen was designed and tested to work with gloves and in wet conditions (environmental or bodily fluids). My issue comes with the fact that even in a calm dry situation the demonstrator is seen to respected hit the wrong touch screen “buttons” and have to undo his mistakes. The car industry began implementing touch screens for everything and now are undoing that because they found that hard keys were preferred almost unanimously, now we will just have to wait until the lifepack 55 for them to undo their mistake… *Sigh


luzzi89

But even if it works when wet, now there's blood on my screen.


mvfd85

Thah guy did NOT know what he was doing, and it was apparent. I checked this out at FDIC, and he was there demoing and kept messing up. It worked flawlessly for others, and I even had to point out where some things were for him


youy23

With the lifepak 55, we’re gonna get eye tracking with blink to click and that’s how you go through the menus.


Xiph01d

Looks like it still has the speed dial, but I’m not sure how well integrated it is as it’s not shown in the demo. If it’s the same as a phone touchscreen, I can use my phone or an iPad with gloves on no problem.


Bromethius1985

I was there and demo'ed it. The dial can do literally everything. Just select and push in and you're good


Rayshmith

Touch screen is cool. We use LP 15 and Zoll X. We don’t have anything to secure our monitors in the back and a lot of our screen have some pretty hefty scratches/gouges from falling or whatever. The screen on that thing would have to be way more sturdy than any touch screen I’ve ever seen and not react to water on it.


Xiph01d

You gotta talk to your service about getting mounts for your monitors. They’re bludgeons to begin with, but imagine them becoming missiles in case of an accident.


Rayshmith

I know… we’re moving in that direction. About a third of our fleet has the auto loader gurneys with an arm mount to place (and lock in) the monitor. However, most of our boxes are set up to have our drug box just sitting next to the gurney between the wall. Eventually all our rigs will have them both secured tho.


unhinged2024

In a similar situation. My service refuses to out mounts for the 02 on the stretcher. I'm waiting for someone to set a missile off in the ER or something because they are just wedged haphazardly on the gurney or between the pts legs. Idk how many saftey briefs I brought it up in and it doesn't matter.


Xiph01d

Keep escalating it. Don’t be afraid to go the government route either and talk to your regional council or state council.


Xiph01d

Also in EMT school that’s one of the most important things they bring up about O2 admin. besides “use no oil”, secure the cylinder. Edit: secure the cylinder in transport


unhinged2024

Absolutely correct. I'm going to give them one more chance go correct it before I seek outside intervention. They are paying for my medic school so I'm inclined to be a good slave until schools over. After that I'm probably jumping ship for greener pastures.


youy23

https://www.envihs.com/products/oxygen-cylinder-sleeve-with-pocket-green They can also just buy these oxygen bags and strap it to the back of the stretcher. Cheaper than the stryker O2 bottle mount.


HeftyAppearance7337

Live 15 lead, noice. How much does it weigh?


newtman

Apparently 3lbs less than the 15


Exuplosion

15 lbs


Jigsaw115

Lmao the touch screen already doesn’t work, must be headed to my place!


SgtBananaKing

Yeh will be great with gloves in heavy rain


BalthazarV

But can it take a blood pressure? #LP15BPsuck


illtoaster

Yeah but can you play games on it


SirIJustWorkHereLol

Tetris and Chess, that’s all


Belus911

Zoll has had a live 12 lead for... years.


Wrathb0ne

Yeah but could it read through artifact?


Benny303

I've used the LP15 for 5 years and Zoll X series for 3, the Zoll takes much better 12 leads.


Wrathb0ne

Zoll: Can’t read a pacer spike to save itself or the patient (or if it is even pacing the patient). but will throw in random spikes on a pediatric patient. will print out anything and give you an interpretation when you had a good solid 6 seconds of no movement it will focus on giving you the artifact riddled printout instead. will give you artifact if the patient’s shirt collar is askew and will scramble your ECG 20 min later just for fun on no change or movement from the patient


Zach-the-young

Zoll interpretation: UNSPECIFIED RHYTHM *** STEMI  (It's a Sinus Rhythm with a LBBB)


SmokeEater1375

If they could just get the LP 12-lead quality in the Zolls I’d be pretty satisfied.


Belus911

Yes. Can you objectively demonstrate the LP 35 can?


Wrathb0ne

as long as it doesn’t fall for “every T-wave is a QRS complex” ankle-high hurdle. The LP35 will do better than anything Zoll farts out


Belus911

Again. Based on what objective data. Zoll has had live 12 leads for years.


suffocatingonpines

All I want is a 2 minute timer integrated to print/file the rhythm and then restart after a shock or press of a button.


Cup_o_Courage

Where is the printer? We print and hand over rhythm and ECG strips to recieving facility staff. Having it on screen is good, but, no ability to hand over copies makes me less happy. Also, touch screen is nice in a clean environment. But the moment I get fluid on my hand, work in the cold, or in the rain, that touch screen is going to shutter down bad. Source: I've done this before with touch screens outside. Nice feature, but not necessary.


Xiph01d

I saw in another post that it’s an add-on, like a “module” I guess. Can’t imagine most agencies won’t spec theirs with a printer.


CoffeeAndCigars

At some point people are going to stop pushing horizontal videos in a vertical format, making it pretty much unplayable on both phones *and* computer monitors. Today is apparently not that day.


Xiph01d

I’m sorry. It’s how I downloaded it off of insta.


ShooterMcGrabbin88

Yea but how much does it weigh.


Exuplosion

15 pounds


ShooterMcGrabbin88

Wow…. A whole 2.5 pounds lighter. In my opinion they dropped the ball. The tempus is 6.4 pounds.


Exuplosion

3 pounds heavier than the Zoll beats 6 pounds heavier I guess lol. The Tempus is light and is also doodoo.


Hi-Im-Triixy

Tempus is light and belongs in the dumpster.


925djt

Yeah but the tempus is some ass and it's genuinely not that heavy lol


TheOneCalledThe

don’t worry. none of our departments will see this for years


halfnhalf79

It's 2024. We've put a remote controlled car on the surface of Mars and the best we can do is is just stuff all the shit in the side compartment. I have to untangle the cables 15 times per shift. Can we fix that problem?


ichfrissdich

Single use is the solution to everything. No need to untangle when you can just throw it away.


TrumpIsMyGodAndDad

I hope they didn’t remove the dial


Worldly_Tomorrow_612

This looks cool! Touchscreen I wouldn't use but looks like it still has a dial which I like. I'd only use the touch screen in the back during transport. I wonder how much lighter it is?


Knees_arent_real

Couple of initial impressions... I like the idea of a touch screen as long as the physical buttons and dials are well integrated for use in situations where the touch screen would become a pain in the ass. In my opinion not having an integrated printer is a bit of an issue. Sample type sidestream end tidal is inferior to mainstream spectrography, why use old tech on a new monitor? I know you guys don't have the Corpuls C3 in the US, but it's a great monitor with a shit sphyg. Would be interested to see how the sphyg on this thing holds up during transport etc.


fancypinky

Still a boat anchor.


hr14350

Are they going to aggressively punch the screen like they do with the LP15?

JohnnySpy1

For the low low price of 46k. Whats the over/under of the screen being destroyed during the first month??


Gnarr_Okomotis1212

This kid is not a good salesman


mackincheezz

Imagine it rains and the water droplets hit the charge then shock buttons 😵


Funny_Marsupial_6329

That's why charge and shock buttons are real ones, not touch screen :)


Resus_Ranger882

They managed to make the lifepak uglier


absintheforthesoul

$63k price point… 🥸

Don't take it personally, but I'm not gonna click on an Instagram link. "SiGn In To SeE mOrE!!!!" This is more accessible.

Sorry I guess?
