The Defibtech Lifeline model AED is one of (if not) the best defibrillator on the market.
The manufacturer, Defibtech, only focuses on the design and development of AEDs, unlike many of their competitors who bought outside companies to add a defibrillator to their product line.
The Lifeline is also one of the easiest models to use, and has unique design features that make it stand out from the crowd:
The Lifeline is the only AED on the market which is available with a 7-year battery.
With the 7-year battery, the unit provides 300 shocks and a 16-hour operating time. No other AED offers this capability.
A 9-volt status indicator battery (which is easily replaceable)is included in the main battery. This means that none of the units' main battery power is used up to power the indicator lights.
The unit is IP5X rated for dust protection. Dust is a certainty in most non-medical deployments, and the Lifeline has the highest dust protection rating above all defibrillators.
The unit is IPX4 rated for water protection, meaning that it is splash-proof, and can be used in wet environments. It is among the highest rated defibrillators for water protection.
The unit has been tested to (US) military standards for shock and vibration, as well as being jet aircraft and helicopter tested.
The unit uses "snap-it" technology internally, meaning all the parts snap together and there are no screws which can slowly unwind over time from vibration etc.
The unit has an internal memory store which can record about 20 minutes of ECG data. With an optional data card, the unit can store up to 12 hours of ECG or 2 hours of audio data.
The unit is the only model on the market that can be upgraded in the field by the end-user wherever it is deployed. Upgrades may include voice prompts, rescue protocols, energy settings, and self-test requirements, and may be downloaded to the device via a data card.
When using the training pack, the unit can be converted from a "live" unit into a trainer, which can be used for practice.
The handle and rubberized over-molding have been designed for easy grip and handling during emergency situations.
There is no lid or moving parts that may confuse users not familiar with the unit, or may cause a delay when trying to operate the device.
The electrode pads are pre-connected to the device that will reduce the time during a rescue.
The pads are also conveniently held at the back of the machine, so no case is required in which to store the pads.
The unit only has 2 operation buttons, designed for simplicity and intuitive use.
The high visibility colouration enables rapid location of the device, and makes it less intimidating to use.
Bright LED indicators make it easy to follow the unit instructions.
There is no ECG display that may confuse lay-persons who attempt to use the machine during a rescue situation.
The unit provides loud, clear voice prompts and instructions which are easy to understand and follow.
The unit is available with in many languages including English, Cantonese, or Mandarin protocols.
The unit conducts regular (daily, weekly, and monthly) diagnostic self-tests.
Compare this to other AEDs on the market..... The Defibtech lifeline AED is the obvious choice on every level.
