        I just missed mspaint diagrams, so i wanted one to include one with my deal.

      • Lol

  • missing the price in the title

    • Hey @asa79 its on all defibrillators, but they start from $1500 so have included it in title.

          Well, I'm sure amazon doesn't want any of it's employees suffering a cardiac arrest to go to hospital and impact their productivity, why not revive them on the spot!

          • @cheapjack:

            Well, I'm sure amazon doesn't want any of it's employees suffering a cardiac arrest

            So you are saying they are buying one each for use whilst working from home?

          • @cheapjack: so if you work for amazon do they send you one as part of their job, does that work for the delivery drivers too

            • @asa79: I don't think they send them to their 'expendable' workers…

      seems that way.

    • +8

      I love defibrillator puns, but on a serious note: between 20-30,000 aussies have a sudden cardiac arrest out of hospital each year, only 8 Percent-ish survive. Getting defibrillation within 3 minutes could lead to 70-80% of lives saved, so these portable devices are amazing. It would be great for every office/shopping centre or block to have one.

      • -6

        Sounds like a very compelling reasons to give them away or sell at cost price with no markup.

        • +4

          Yeah for sure. Defib's are a competitive market and margins are pretty thin. There is only one wholesaler with supply at the moment, so a bit of competition on a wholesale level would probably drive prices down.

        • +2

          But the business needs to make a profit so they stay in business so we can buy these so we can save lives.

  • still cheaper than a heart transplant.

    • Not really preventing heart transplant.

    @cheapjack if I've been injected with a poison by another hitman that will kill me if I don't keep my adrenaline levels up, which defib would be best for keeping my adrenaline going?

    Portability and battery life are important. As is ease of use.

    Also, can you do same day delivery?

    • +6

      Hehehe, defib's don't keep adrenaline going, but will revive you when that poision leads to a cardiac arrest! I'd go for a Heartsine 360p, it automatically applies shock, no button press necessary. In your field, this is definetly a high-yield investment

      • +1

        Hehehe, defib's don't keep adrenaline going

          looks like an interesting documentary ;-)

  • If I use it everyday 100 times a day will the battery still last 7 years? If not, how does it have 7 years of battery life?

    Wouldn't it be better to speak in terms of how many uses it has or shelf life of the battery itself?

    If it has 7 years of battery life can I power my house for 7 years with it?

    • +2

      It's a non rechargable battery. Uses are likely to be irrelevant. These things sit around and run self-tests. You're not going to be using it every day.

      For the CR2 (Lithium Manganese Dioxide):
      Can deliver a minimum of 103 shocks at 360 joules
      6 shocks and 30 minutes of operating time held in reserve after low battery warning given

      • +1

        Yeah, I understand, but what I was trying to get at is it's a very broad statement 7 years of battery life. It should be 6 uses for up to 7 years, that's something I'd understand. If someone just says 7 years battery life I'd be toasting my bread with it daily.

        • Makes sense, it's good to be specific.

        • +3

          It's essentially the shelf life of the battery. Once used, they'll need to be serviced anyway (leads & pads replaced) and the typical recommendation is for the battery to be part of the service.

          The "is not a bargain" mindset needs to be put aside. This is a decent price for a fairly complex bit of medical kit. It's not your run of the mill iPad or XBox where it doesn't really matter if it doesn't work properly when you need it. These things must work reliably and should be treated accordingly.

          • -2

            @banana365: Then I'd think this seller DDI Safety is the one that is being a bit misleading.

            Defibtech claim 7 years/300 shocks and not 7 years battery life but 7 years shelf life.

          • @banana365: Exactly. Medical and aviation engineering is so next level and has inbuilt redundancy that this is a bargain. After all, if you save someone’s life you won’t be counting the dollars.

            Even when it’s empty you still have nearly 7 hours of battery life.

            • +1

              @meowsers: Boeing has entered the chat. Our system is good 99% of the time we don't need redundancies.

              • @Pikaloo: PRIMARY BATTERY
                Type: Lithium Manganese Dioxide (Li/MnO2), 12.0V,
                4.7 amp-hours.

                Capacity (at 20°C): Will provide 166 200 joule shocks (with one minute of CPR between shocks) or 103 360 joules shocks (with one minute of CPR between shocks) or 800 minutes of operating time.

                Standby Life (assuming daily tests only): A new battery provides device power for 4 years if installed in device that is not used.

                Replace Battery Indication: At least 6 shocks and 30 minutes of operating time remain when first indicated.

                Weight: 0.3 kg (0.7 lb).

                ELECTRODE PADS
                Pads: Can be used on both adult and paediatric patients.

                Pads Packaging: User intuitive, rapid access electrodes.

                Pads Replacement: Replace every 4 years.

              • @Pikaloo: To be (un)fair, this is a misrepresentation of the Boeing situation.

          • +1

            @banana365: I think because we run an everyday low prices model, we don't have huge discount sales, but i do think free accessories and lower prices compared to our competitors makes this quite a deal.

        • Yeah, thanks for the suggestion I think it is an industry standard wording, but it would be good to have something more specific like 7 year standby life or 7 year battery shelf life.

    • It only applies a shock when a shockable heart rhythm is found. Such events do happen, but obviously not multiple times everyday.
      The reason the shelf life is listed is because some defibrillator batteries have limited shelf lives. Obviously, ones with longer shelf lives could mean reduced maintenance costs.

    Sneaky budget saving trick — figure out which defib brand your ambulance network carries. For example with Amublance Victoria it's Zoll. In QLD it's mainly corpuls but still some lifepak hanging around.

    This way when you put one on a patient for monitoring etc, you can just get a fresh pad set from the ambos if they are kind enough and connect the same pads onto their defib.

    Because we have at least one or two of these episodes a year where we actually apply the pads, we have been lucky to get spares for free lol. They don't all interchange though so it's hit or miss as the CPR sensor needs to be there.

    Also this is a good PSA moment to make sure and register your AED with GoodSAM if it is publicly available so people will know.

    https://www.goodsamapp.org/

    • Good PSA, ambo's do great work and defib maps are awesome!

    • +1

      Someone dying.. last thing i friggin wanna do is annoy the ambo's in the middle of their job to say "please use my open pads and give me ur brand new ones"

      Seriously…

      • No the point is you have used the defib on someone who has had a heart attack, and it has helped to save their life. Of course you still call an ambulance and have them taken to hospital. While the ambos are picking the patient up and you are explaining to them that you have used X kind of defib in Y manner (so that they know what has happened), you also ask if they have any spare pads you could take for next time you might need your defib. Since they probably have a half dozen in their vehicle and they appreciate you having most likely saved the patient's life with your expensive bit of kit, they may happily give you a set.

    any chance on a deal for the 350/360p model?

    • Hey Ik0811 pm me if you can, and i can see what we can work out

  • This post is indeed a competitive deal.

    TBH If the price of a proper AED is less than $1.5k and the running cost is less than $150 p/a on average, I’m seriously thinking about hosting one at home for community to use. I saw some councils are reimbursing merchants who buy and host AEDs, but never heard such program exists for households.

    • It’s a good community service. We bring one with us while camping in the caravan.

      You just never know.

      • Yup. One is good. Have another on the move is even better.

    • I reckon it would be awesome for small localities to have some. I have relatives in a small rural locality of about 1000 people and it is a 12-20min wait for ambulance. Having a defib easily accesible in town could make a huge difference to the families out there.

    • Mate, you should take a look at this then. Aussie developed too, saw it on the news end of last year.

      https://cellaed.io/au

  • Site seems to be geared towards businesses. These are all ok for home use too right?

    • Yeah, they are great for home use, so simple to use. We've found mostly businesses purchase them not home customers, but that's something we should look into writing about on a blog post.

      • We've found mostly businesses purchase them not home customers, but that's something we should look into writing about on a blog post.

        No thanks. The issue is it’s too pricey for home use. It needs to drop 10 fold in price and I’m not kidding!

        • That's understandable! I guess it is a caveat of the medical field. Mabye unit blocks/ stratas could sort something out if multiple tenants could make it more affordable.

        • +1

          These are much cheaper and aimed at home use
          https://cellaed.io/au/products/cellaed

          You need to pay $15 per month to keep it (includes free replacement if the AED is ever used, when the battery is flat)

            @spaceflight:

            These are much cheaper and aimed at home use
            https://cellaed.io/au/products/cellaed

            This is really interesting.

            So what's the difference between these and a full fledged AED? Is there any difference in what heart rhythms it can detect/treat or anything?

            Or does the substantial cost difference just come down to the fact that it's single-use and/or due to the subscription payment model?

          • @spaceflight: I've looked into the Cell AED!
            It looks like quite an awesome device and can't wait to get my hands on one.

            I should mention though that the overall cost over its lifespan is close to our aeds.

            $299 seems cheap but paying that $15 a month maintenance fee adds up to $1740 over 8 years, which isnt to disimiliar to our defibs cost, though great for home user to spread it out.

            • @cheapjack: They do look awesome!

              I think that $299 upfront and $15 a month will be a lot easier for people to buy compared to $1500-2000 upfront.

              The monthly fee does also cover replacements if it is ever used on a real heart attack which is even more awesome as you could use it to save someone each month for $15.

              I would assume if you use a normal AED that the cost to service it would be in the hundreds of dollars for pads and a battery?

              Plus a normal AED has service costs to doesn't it?
              I assume that the pads need replacing every few years which makes the 8 year ownership cost higher than just the upfront purchase price?

              • +1

                @spaceflight: The cost of maintenance is $200 over 8 years. That's to replace the pad/battery pack at the four year mark, and obviously if used they will need replacing.

                Similar to cell AED, heartisine and lifepak replace the batteries and pads for free in a verified cardiac event.

                So really, it's the same cost over 8 years, around $1700 just upfront. And I think with that subscription model, prices could be raised in the future too.

                Also if the cellaed was used in a non cardiac event, that would mean a $300 replacement as opposed to $200.

                But I agree, for home users the $300 cost of entry is a real game changer!

                • @cheapjack: That's interesting, thanks.
                  I didn't know that other manufacturers gave free servicing if they are used for a verified cardiac event.

        • I already spend $300 every 7 years for a PLB (emergency locator beacon). I'd have one of these defibs for home or car at a three-fold price drop.

    • That's $17 cheaper than our competitors sale price, which was already heavily reduced.

    • Better than nothing I suppose. These units are expensive so I would be comparing the models with their competitors to see which one performs better as the price difference is negligible.

  • Thanks op, good deal got 9

    I`ve been a first aider in a heavy industry for almost 20 years. We have trained with (and used) these for a long time… They are an excellent device and easy to use, especially the ones that give instructions that pretty much guide you through what to do… ie… stuff like including giving you a beep sound for CPR and telling you where to place the pads etc…….If anyone works in an small business with a bunch of employees, it would be a great idea to try to get you boss to invest in one… it might save YOUR life one day…. When I saw the post I have an idea of purchasing one for my home and then going around my immediate neighbours and letting them know it is here incase one of them thinks someone is having a heart problem.. A bit expensive for me to do such a thing… but a great idea for your small workplaces and sports clubs…just my 2 bits…
    Cheers
    ps. I am not associated with DDI Safety in any way

    • If you could afford it, that would be an extremely generous thing to do for you neighbours. Great idea.

    • A bit expensive for me to do such a thing…
