AED Defibrillators
Essential Facts:
An automated external defibrillator or AED is a portable
electronic device that automatically diagnoses the
potentially
life threatening
cardiac
arrhythmias
of
ventricular fibrillation
With modern technology, an AED defibrillator is able
to
treat these through
defibrillation
Having an AED close by can mean the difference between life
and death for a victim of sudden cardiac arrest
.
AED defibrillators are designed to be simple to use for the
layman and the use of AEDs is taught in many first aid basic
life support CPR classes. An automated external
defibrillator AED is used in cases of life threatening
cardiac arrhythmias which have led to cardiac arrest . AEDs
are designed to be used by lay persons. This is in contrast
to more sophisticated manual and semi-automatic
defibrillators used by health professionals.
Various AED Defibrillator Brands Salient Features:
Zoll AED Plus Defibrillator:
This defibrillator can actually see when you are doing CPR
and provide help. ZOLL®’s AED Plus® Defibrillator features
Real
CPR Help,™ a tool that is able to actually see what you
are doing and provide feedback to help you do it well.
Audio and visual
prompts of the defibrillator help you
rescue with confidence and clarity.
HeartSine® samaritan® PAD (Public Access Defibrillator)
The HeartSine® samaritan® PAD Public Access Defibrillator
(or Automatic External Defibrillator) is an easy-to-use
medical device especially designed for public access use, to
administer lifesaving treatment for Sudden Cardiac Arrest. A flashing green STATUS light indicates defibrillator is
operational. The HeartSine® samaritan® PAD defibrillator
prompts you visually and audibly with clear, calm
instructions – starting with “Adult Patient” if equipped for
adult Pad-Pak™, and “
Child Patient” if equipped with
pediatric-pak™. Other prompts instruct users throughout the
rescue process, while reminding
users to “call for medical
assistance.” The AED Defibrillator then guides the user
through pad application to shock delivery if
required.
Electrode pads are contained in an innovative Pad-Pak™ or
Pediatric-Pak™ which are accessible by pulling the green
tab.
Physio-Control LIFEPAK CR PLUS AED
The LIFEPAK CR® Plus AED Defibrillator is fully automatic,
with a simple two-step process that gives the first person
to
respond to a SCA victim the confidence they need to help
save a life. A responder only needs to:
• Turn on the defibrillator
• Apply the QUIK-PAK™ electrode pads to the victim
The fully automatic model of the LIFEPAK CR Plus AED
defibrillator is designed to deliver a shock only if it
determines a
heart needs it. No one even needs to press a
shock button.
The LIFEPAK CR Plus AED is also easy to own and maintain.
Synchronized replacement of the electrodes and
battery CHARGE-PAK™ of the defibrillator will keep your
maintenance burden at a minimum. And weekly and monthly
self-tests—plus a visible readiness display with four
indicators—let you know it’s ready to do its job.
HeartStart OnSite AED Defibrillator
Available without a prescription, the HeartStart OnSite
Defibrillator is designed with innovative technology, based
on
extensive research and user feedback, that has produced a
defibrillator so easy to set up and use that you can
potentially
save the life of a co-worker, friend, or anyone
else stricken with sudden cardiac arrest with this
defibrillator.
Defibtech LIFELINE AED Semi-automatic Defibrillator:
Defibtech has designed a revolutionary new semi-automatic
external defibrillator,
from the ground up. Technologically advanced enough to
include all mission critical features necessary to provide
the most
advanced treatment for Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Yet
so simple and unintimidating to use that even non-medical
personnel can effectively save lives. The Lifeline AED
defibrillator was developed by experienced multidisciplinary
engineering teams and
incorporates state-of-the-art digital
signal processing techniques and advanced ECG analysis
algorithms. This enables the
device to exceed the American
Heart Association performance recommendations, giving the
user confidence the correct
therapy is being delivered. The
Lifeline AED defibrillator uses advanced biphasic technology
— including the most studied
biphasic shock waveform — and
automatically adjusts the shock delivery to the person’s
individual needs. For first response
professionals like
police, fire and EMS, the Lifeline AED is standard
equipment. For schools, offices, stores, malls, factories,
and public places, it’s becoming as vital as the fire
extinguisher.
