Automated External Defibrillators--DEFIBTECH
January 24, 2013
Entire family of Defibtech AEDs now available to U.S. customers, providing outstanding lifesaving technology for virtually any need, budget or environment
Featuring
a revolutionary color LCD video display and 3-lead ECG monitoring capability,
the Defibtech Lifeline PRO and Lifeline ECG automated external defibrillators (AEDs) have
been cleared for sale in the U.S. market by the Food and Drug Administration.
AEDs are designed to revive victims of sudden cardiac arrest, which strikes
about 380,000 Americans each year and is the leading cause of death in the U.S.
Both
the Lifeline PRO and ECG AEDs are designed for professional responders. The
Lifeline PRO provides full manual control over shock energy and delivery as an
option. When the Lifeline PRO is operated in manual mode, an ECG appears on the
color video display, and the rescuer can select the energy level and decide
when to initiate charge and shock.
Operating
in semi-automatic or “AED” mode, both the Lifeline PRO and ECG AEDs can display
either an ECG or video instructions for the rescuer. Both models’ video and
audio provide guidance on where to place the defibrillating pads and give
step-by-step lifesaving instructions.
Both
the Lifeline PRO and ECG AEDs continue Defibtech’s tradition of
ease-of-maintenance with extensive configuration and information menus
presented on the color video display. When CPR protocols change, users can
update the audio and video instructions in the field by installing a software
upgrade.
