Phillips AED Defibrillator

When someone has a Sudden Cardiac Arrest defibrillation needs to be prompt.

For every minute that passes chances of survival decrease by 14 per cent. Research shows that applying a controlled shock within five minutes of collapse provides the best possible outcome.

This indicates the need for defibrillators to be deployed strategically in areas of greatest need – areas where there is a likley incidence of cardiac arrest and in areas where it is difficult for an ambulance to get there quickly, e.g. rural areas, poor road networks, traffic congestion or where large crowds gather.

AED Includes

  • 1 x Heartstart HS 1 First Aid AED
  • 1 x Adult Smart Pad Cartridge
  • 1 x Battery
  • 1 x Slim Carry Case

FUTHER INFORMATION

What is a defibrillator?

A defibrillator is a device that can restart the heart by giving a electric shock in some cases of cardiac arrest. An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a type of defibrillator that detects the electrical activity in the heart and gives clear automated instructions to the rescuer on what to do.

Surefire’s Heartstart HS1 First Aid AED is a compact semi automatic unit aimed at individuals trained in basic life support but who would be expected to use the equipment infrequently.

Ease of Use

  • Clear calm voice instructions guide the rescuer through each step of defibrillation including CPR coaching.
  • The "smart" electrode pads are stored in a hard cased cartridge that slots into the front of the defibrillator, automatically making an electrical connection.
  • The pads sense when they are removed from the cartridge and are applied to the patient. A special infant / child smart pad cartridge can be installed which automatically lowers energy levels more appropriate for paediatric defibrillation.
  • Upon pressing the shock button the unit delivers a truncated exponential biphasic waveform. The energy level is nominally fixed at 150 J (Adult) and 50 J (paediatric) however this will vary depending on the patient impedence.
  • The Heartstart HS 1 is capable of providing a minimum of 200 shocks or 3 hours of operating time from its non-rechargeable lithium manganese dioxide battery.
  • The first 15 minutes of ECG and the entire incidents events and analysis decisions are recorded and the data can be transferred to a PC via a built in infrared port and reviewed using event review or event review express software.
  • The Heartstart HS 1 performs automatic daily self tests and self tests when the unit is switched on these tests include internal circuitry, pads cartridge and battery capacity.A blinking green "Ready" light means the unit has passed its last self test so is ready for use.
