HeartSine Defibrillator - AED Defibrillators
HeartSine was founded in 1997
with the purpose of developing portable automated external
defibrillators that were affordable for use in the home and marketplace
and that could easily be used by non-medical first responders. The
HeartSine samaritan® PAD (Public Access Defibrillator) was released in
2004.
Designed specifically for public, non-medically trained
personnel use, the HeartSine samaritan AED is perfectly suited for every
public gathering place from schools, health clubs, gyms, fitness
centers, office buildings, apartment complexes, airports and homes, because you never know when a heart attack or an SCA caused by an arrhythmia can happen. With
simple, easy-to-use controls and a clear display, the HeartSine AED can
be used by nearly anyone
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can happen
to anyone, at any time and in any place. It can affect not only older
people but children, teenagers, and young adults as well. Emergency
medical services need to be performed within minutes of an SCA or the
victim will die. In the case of sudden cardiac arrest, every minute
really does count. If resuscitation and ventricular fibrillation are not
performed within five minutes, brain damage can occur. If an AED is not
available and is not used within ten minutes, most sudden cardiac
arrest victims die. The HeartSine samaritan PAD can help prevent this
tragedy from occurring and it was designed so that non-medical personnel
can use it easily and quickly.
A flashing green status light
indicates that the system is operational, and audio prompts guide the
user through the process with clear, calm instructions - starting with
"Adult Patient" if equipped for adult Pad-Pak™, and "Child Patient" if
equipped with Pediatric-Pak™. Other prompts from the HeartSine samaritan
automated external defibrillator instruct users throughout the rescue
process, while reminding users to "call for medical assistance." The
HeartSine system then guides the user through pad application and shock
delivery if required.
Heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest are
different and need to be treated differently. On average, people who are
suffering from heart attack symptoms wait three hours before seeking
help. SCA victims don’t have that window of opportunity since death can
occur in ten minutes.
A heart attack occurs when blood flow to
the heart is interrupted by a blocked artery or arteries. Sudden cardiac
arrest occurs when the electrical activity of the heart becomes
erratic. When this abnormal activity happens, it is know as an
arrhythmia. When arrhythmias occur, the heart can suddenly stop beating.
The blood flow to the brain stops and the victim loses consciousness.
Left untreated, the victim will stop breathing and eventually die. Using
an automated external defibrillator, like the HeartSine samaritan PAD,
to administer defibrillation (a shock to the heart) can restart the
heart by stopping the ventricular fibrillation (severely abnormal heart
rhythm).
Most people who suffer from SCA don’t have a history of
heart problems like an arrhythmia, but some conditions that can lead to sudden cardiac
arrest are:
- Previous heart attack(s)
- Heart surgery
- Trauma to the heart (a blow to the chest) during athletic activities
- Congenital heart disease
- Electrocution accident
- Heart muscle disease
- Lack of oxygen to the heart because of narrow cardiac arteries or shock
