Our reliable defibrillators help you maintain a safe workplace. We offer a range of defibrillators to meet diverse needs and are here to assist you in choosing the right model. Defibrillators are designed with safety in mind—they will not deliver a shock unless necessary. Clear voice prompts provide step-by-step instructions to guide the user. While defibrillators are user-friendly and require no formal training, we recommend training for optimal effectiveness. Practicing with a model similar to the one you purchase can increase confidence and proficiency in real-life situations.
Research shows that public access to defibrillators significantly increases survival rates. In their article, “Impact of Bystander Automated External Defibrillator Use on Survival and Functional Outcomes in Shockable Observed Public Cardiac Events,” Ross A. Pollack and colleagues confirm this finding, while J. Hollenberg et al. also underscore the survival benefits in their research.
When cardiac arrest occurs, every minute without treatment decreases the chance of survival by approximately 10%. For this reason, it’s crucial to have a defibrillator in places where cardiac arrest is likely, such as workplaces, sports facilities, and large events.
We offer a range of defibrillator models from brands like M&B Electronics and Philips, each designed for different needs and environments. For example, models with an IP55 rating are ideal for rugged environments with moisture and dust, making them suitable for industries, construction sites, swimming pools, and outdoor locations. If you need help selecting the right first aid equipment for your business, our knowledgeable team is here to assist you.
How a Defibrillator Works
A defibrillator works by delivering an electric shock to the heart, helping it return to a normal rhythm and restoring oxygen-rich blood flow to vital organs. During cardiac arrest, the heart can experience electrical chaos, preventing it from pumping blood effectively. By sending one or more shocks, the defibrillator can reset the heart’s rhythm. However, even in the best circumstances, a defibrillator may not always restore heart function.
Using a Defibrillator
1. Power On: Start the defibrillator by pressing the power button or opening the lid.
2. Follow Voice Instructions: The defibrillator will guide you step-by-step. Common prompts include “Call 112” and “Attach electrodes.”
3. Attach Electrodes: Place one electrode below the right collarbone and the other about 10 cm below the left armpit. Ensure the chest is dry for proper attachment.
4. Rhythm Analysis: Once electrodes are in place, the defibrillator will analyze the heart rhythm.
5. Deliver Shock if Recommended: If a shock is advised, make sure no one is touching the patient before pressing the shock button.
6. Begin CPR: The defibrillator will instruct you when to start CPR.
7. Repeat Analysis: After two minutes, the device will re-analyze the heart rhythm for additional shocks if necessary.
If signs of life appear, place the patient in a stable position until help arrives. Otherwise, continue following the defibrillator’s prompts.
Easy and Efficient Use
Defibrillators are designed to be intuitive, with clear voice and text instructions to guide users. No prior experience is needed, but practicing with the device can help build confidence in an emergency. We recommend placing a standardized instruction sign near the defibrillator for quick reference.
High-Reliability Defibrillators
Trust in a defibrillator’s reliability is essential. Our products feature automatic self-tests that verify functionality and alert users to any issues. Batteries generally last up to five years, and many models come with warranty periods of up to ten years.
Defibrillators for Children
Several models can be adjusted for use with children, either through a child key or specialized electrodes. These defibrillators are suitable for settings where children are present, such as preschools, sports facilities, and swimming pools.
Accessories for Defibrillators
We offer a range of accessories, including electrodes, batteries, wall mounts, carrying cases, and CPR kits. These kits often include essential items like scissors, gloves, razors, and compresses to ensure electrodes adhere securely to the skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the defibrillator consumable after use?
No, but the electrodes and possibly the battery will need replacement before the next use.
2. Can a shock be accidentally delivered?
No, the defibrillator will only deliver a shock if it detects a need. Users must also ensure no one touches the patient during shock delivery.
3. Is CPR training required?
CPR training is not mandatory but recommended. Defibrillators are designed to be easy to use and provide clear instructions.
4. What is a defibrillator’s lifespan?
Defibrillators typically last around ten years, though electrodes and batteries will need periodic replacement.
5. Do defibrillators need charging?
Most models use disposable batteries that last several years. When battery levels are low, a warning will alert you to replace it.
6. How long do electrodes last?
Electrodes usually last about two years but should be replaced if packaging is damaged or after use.
7. Are parts like electrodes and batteries available long-term?
Manufacturers are required to supply these parts for the defibrillator’s lifespan.
8. How much do electrodes and batteries cost?
Costs vary by model and brand. Consider these operating costs when purchasing a defibrillator.
9. Which defibrillator should I choose?
All defibrillators in Europe must meet CE marking standards. Choosing a reliable brand with a history in medical technology can offer added assurance.
10. Are voice instructions available in the local language?
Yes, voice instructions and manuals are available in multiple languages, and some models allow language switching.
Choosing the Right First Aid Products
Whether you need a defibrillator for a construction site, office, or home, we offer a wide selection in our online store. Customer feedback is invaluable, and we’re here to help you find the best products and accessories for your needs.
Different defibrillators cost different amounts, but basically the life-saving function is that the defibrillator sends a pulse of current through the heart to bring to start slurping; normal again. All defibrillators do this regardless of price.
Philips HeartStart HS1 is the world's best-selling heart starter and fits perfectly in office environments and at home. Another option is AED7000 which is the most affordable model. Should the defibrillator withstand tougher environments such as; Philips HeartStart FRx is a very good choice.
Everyone uses the defibrillator. No special training is required, but in the event of a cardiac arrest, it may help to have already familiarized yourself with the defibrillator and trained on it.
A defibrillator should be visible and easily accessible. It is of the utmost importance that the defibrillator can be quickly located and used in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest. Use a wall bracket or cabinet to place it on; / i and mark the location with a sign. Inform those around you that there is a defibrillator at your place.
