We provide a range of accessories, including electrodes and batteries, for most defibrillators to help ensure your device is always ready to function. Quick delivery keeps you stocked, and we’re here to assist with installation if needed.
The most common issue with defibrillators is outdated electrodes, which can dry out over time, preventing the device from analyzing heart rhythm or delivering a shock. Similarly, an expired battery can render the defibrillator inoperable, much like a smoke alarm. Most defibrillators indicate when a battery replacement is needed, but if missed, the device may have reduced operating time—or may not work at all. If any other issues arise, the defibrillator should signal maintenance is required.
Alongside electrodes and a battery, a defibrillator should be equipped with a CPR kit for comprehensive readiness. A typical CPR kit includes:
• Scissors for quickly cutting away clothing, ensuring electrodes can be placed directly on the skin.
• Razor to remove chest hair if necessary, as a clear contact is essential for effective electrode placement.
• Respiratory Protection to safely administer breaths.
• Gloves to protect against fluids.
• Cloth to dry the chest, ensuring the shock is directed through the heart and not affected by moisture on the skin. This is especially crucial in cases of cold sweat or water-related incidents.
For quick access in an emergency, the defibrillator must be marked and easy to locate. We recommend placing it on a wall bracket or in a dedicated cabinet, with a visible defibrillator sign above and a sticker on the door to indicate its presence in the room.
This version improves readability and clarity while emphasizing accessibility and the importance of each item in the CPR kit. Let me know if it fits your needs!
