Great news! Our supplier Defibtech now has many of their models back in stock after being sold out all year!
To celebrate, we are able to offer $500 off their 7 year battery Lifeline Standard Automatic and Semi-Automatic Packages for the next week.
Why consider this defibrillator? It has a huge 7 year battery standby life. That means it is one of the lowest maintenance defibrillators on the market.
It's also designed to be military grade, so it's a great durable option for public places.

Also, for those of you who have mentioned the Cell-AED defibrillator, read a comparison between it and our models in our latest blog post.
Although the $299 cost of entry seems great, in the long run it is more expensive than other defibrillators, and delivers a considerably lower energy shock.

  Just be aware that if the patient is flatlining this will not restart the heart.

    This model is an automatic defibrillator, so once the pads are attached to the chest, it will automatically detect if the patient has a shockable or non-shockable rhythm. Automatic and semi-automatic defibs are designed to be usable by the general public by simply following the voice instruction.

      So, when a person has a cardiac arrest it's not like Hollywood. It doesn't go to a flatline, instead, the heart "quivers." The defibrillator shock puts the heart back into a normal rhythm. An additional 20,000 Australian's would survive a sudden cardiac arrest each year if they had defibrillator access within 3-5 minutes.

          @beatsntoons: A person will be unconscious and not breathing. Basically when someone "drops dead" their is a small window where there is still some heart activity (quivering) and they can be shocked to life.

        Technically that's also incorrect.
        Cardiac arrest refers to the hearts inability to pump. This is broken down into two domains. Shockable and Non shockable.
        Shockable Cardiac arrests (CA) - Ventricular fibrillation (What you refer to as a quiver), Ventricular Tachycardia and Torsades de Pointes.
        Non Shockable CA - Pulseless electrical Activity and Asystole.

        Defibrillators only work on the Shockable rhythms.
        As i mentioned in your previous post. For all Cardiac arrests please please please do good CPR practices. If you have this machine in your home or place of work, it's obviously for a reason. Make sure you/your family/your work team have good CPR skills. as the efficacy of successful defibrillation is reduced without good CPR leading up to it.
        Noddy doldrums is correct in this doesn't work on a flatline (Asystole) in those cases the only thing that has a chance to bring a person back is CPR. From there the person will either go to a shockable rhythm in which they can be shocked out of it hopefully (not always successful), come back to life without even being shocked. or remain without a beat and pass away.

          @maverickjohn: Nice comment thanks @maverickjohn
          Comments like Noddy's are correct but can be hard for the general public to understand and get a clear picture of.

          When I'm not posting defibs I train CPR. Such an important step and never to be minimised in importance.

      Unfortunately movies and video games have created the misconception that defibrillators are used for jumpstarting a heart that has stopped beating. But it's actually used to override fatally abnormal heart rhythms (mainly ventricular fibrillations and tachycardia) in hope of restoring a normal rhythm.

      •

        Defibrillators are used to fix everything except gun and knife wounds.

      I've watched enough House MD to answer this - this is for fibrilation (the heart is still active, it's just stuck in an abnormal vibration of sorts), a shock usually gets it going in a normal rhymth again so the patient will survive the trip to hospital.

      Flatlining (Asystole) is where the heart is doing nothing at all, this is very much fatal in a vast majority of cases and is rarely something that can be corrected.

        It is very worthwhile information, and it would be good if more people took the time to learn about defibrillators so they can use a public one in an emergency

  Hi Cheapjack

  Does this device revive a "fully stopped heart" with a shock?

  Or only a "quivering arrested heart" with a shock to stabilize the rhythm?

  Is it fully automatic for a layman to use?

  Thanks for your reply in advance.

    Don't think any Defib can revive a dead heart, can only shock the arrythmia away.

  Hi @lexus101

  @noddydoldrums comment caused a bit of confusion.

  No defibrillators revive a "fully stopped heart." They all shock to stabilise a "quivering" heart rhythm. Sadly, statistics are approx 30,000 yearly in Australia dying from out of hospital cardiac arrest. Various life threatening injuries and illnesses can also cause cardiac arrest.

  Both the semi-automatic and automatic models are very easy to use. Anyone can use them, and of course any basic first aid course will provide helpful training and guidance to be as effective as possible.

    Hi @mahoganygranger
    On the description above, I've written a blog post about Cell-Aed. Although it has a cheap cost of entry, because of its short lifespan (13 MTHS) it really adds up over the years and becomes more expensive. It's also delivers a considerably lower powered shock.

  BTW OP, i followed up on the biphasic 360J that your stryker has and found only articles relating to AED reaching up to 360J and there was no comparison vs a clinician using a 200J machine. Suffice to say the pubmed article as well as American Heart Association are pushing now for the 360J AED's due to the higher success rate of defibrillation.

  • 

    Employeecheapjack @ DDI Safety on 26/04/2022 - 17:44

    Yeah it was a good article. The lifepak cr2 models are at the 360j which is awesome.
    I noticed too in one of their diagrams that the higher joules can reduce the disadvantages of poor pad placement.

    Our other models are around 150-250 joules biphasic.
    It made me want to take note notice of joules and try to convey that to customers. I noticed the cell-aed defibrillators are running at 85 joules biphasic.

  clandestino on 26/04/2022 - 17:39

  Really interesting and informative comments, and blog.

  The blog does mention this though:

  "The pad’s and batteries in Heartsine and Lifepak Defibrillators have a 4 year shelf life."

  Cheapjack, does your blog post factor in the costs to replace these after 4 years?

    Employeecheapjack @ DDI Safety on 26/04/2022 - 17:47

    Yes. In the chart you'll notice the price over 8 years and over 12 years reflects the cost of replacement batteries and pads. A combined battery and pad pack for the Heartsine is $200 per four years.
