Now everyone can help save a life
The Facts
• Coronary heart disease (mainly heart attacks) was the leading single
cardiovascular cause of death, accounting for 27,825 deaths (22% of all
deaths) in Australia in 1998.1
• Around 5-10 Australians die each day of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest.2
• The current survival rate from sudden cardiac arrest is less then 5%.3
• By having the AED no more than a minute away the chance of survival could
rise to over 80%. For every minute defibrillation is delayed the chance of
survival decreases by about 10%.4
Fast to learn
So simple to operate that a first aider with minimal training can help
save the life of a co-worker, friend, member of the family or the public.
Easy to use
Calming natural voice instructions coach the first aider through the
steps of first aid defibrillation. If required, calming instructive voice
prompts will also guide the user in delivering CPR.
Always ready
Comprehensive automatic self-tests check all the HeartStart First Aid’s
vital functions on a daily, weekly and monthly schedule, so as to ensure
that HeartStart First Aid is always ready for emergency life saving.
HeartStart First Aid is safe and effective
SMART Analysis; so accurate that HeartStart First Aid is the
only automated external defibrillator approved for use on
children as well as adults.
SMART Biphasic
Low energy 150-Joule shock; the only defibrillation waveform
to have international guidelines approval.
SMART Pads are able to sense whether they have been
removed from the cartridge and placed on the patient’s chest
so as to ensure that the voice prompts keep pace with you.
