Samaritan® AED
The same brilliant scientific mind that developed the world’s
first portable, battery operated external defibrillator over
35 years ago has now developed the latest in AED technology
with the HeartSine Samaritan® AED. Drawing on extensive
defibrillation experience, HeartSine manufactures and markets
defibrillators worldwide for use in homes, schools, offices,
golf courses, pools, ambulances, government and military facilities.
Taking it to the Streets
HeartSine spent several years testing its technology out
in the real world – where people have their cardiac
arrests. It was also tested extensively for ease of use by
real lay rescuers, not professional responders. After all,
what good is great technology if you can’t figure it
out when the time comes?
Portable, Reliable, and Maintenance Free
Weighing in at only 4 lbs., the small, lightweight yet durable
Samaritan® AED is suitable for any setting.
Tested to meet the most recent Military Standards, the Samaritan®
AED has been designed to be extremely rugged and reliable.
Automated self checks and a long battery life makes the Samaritan®
an AED you can count on, without any hassles.
Intuitive Interface – Easy to Use
Samaritan’s® intuitive interface coaches infrequent
and experienced users alike, helping them to provide the best
care possible.
The Samaritan® is the only AED that provides an on screen
graphic of correct pad placement, reinforcing the other 4
instructional pad graphics found on the device. This graphical
icon is repeated five times, coaching and guiding the rescuer
through the most important part of the rescue process--pad
placement!
Won’t Let You Push the Wrong Button When Time
Counts
The Samaritan® is the only AED with a Shock Safety Feature.
Once the Samaritan® charges up and advises the user to
press the shock button, the AED will emit a verbal and text
warning if the on/off button is pushed by mistake. This feature
has been proven to save precious time.
Large Display, Clear Instructions
Samaritan® AED users will appreciate the large backlit
screen which displays easy to read, concise instructions in
text form. At the same time, they will hear high-fidelity
voice prompts that will coach them through the rescue, step-by-step.
The large, 12 square-inch display also exhibits other valuable
information such as battery capacity, CPR time-elapsed graph,
rescue time clock, number of shocks delivered, and for the
advanced users – an optional four second ECG display.
Data-Pak Battery System
The Samaritan® is the only AED to incorporate reliable
data storage into the battery. No separate PC cards to purchase
and / or lose. This innovative design ensures that all event
and device information is captured for post-rescue analysis.
This patented feature prevents loss of critical data and helps
you comply with new regulations. The data can then be easily
reviewed using HeartSine’s SAVER Software on standard
PC’s.
HeartSine Technologies is a company that is committed to
advancing defibrillation technology and expanding the use
of AEDs throughout the world. HeartSine is dedicated to assisting
organizations, businesses and cities design, implement, and
manage AED programs in their communities…from installing
AEDs to maintaining the AED programs. For more information

LIFEPAK® CR Plus Defibrillator
Medtronic created the LIFEPAK CR Plus defibrillator
especially for the first person at the scene of a sudden
cardiac arrest. Outside the hospital, that person is
often someone without medical training.1 Because time
to defibrillation is so important to survival, the recommended
goal from arrest to defibrillation is within 3-5 minutes
or sooner—before paramedics arrive.
The CR Plus is easy to understand and use. It was designed
so that anyone with minimal CPR and AED training can
quickly and effectively give a potentially lifesaving
shock to some in sudden cardiac arrest. The CR Plus
is the only fully automatic AED on the market and tells
you exactly what to do with easy-to-understand voice
prompts and visual cues. With the fully automatic CR
Plus you assess the person in sudden cardiac arrest,
then open the defibrillator and apply the electrode
pads. QUIK-PAK™ electrodes are preconnected and
easy to open and apply, with pictures showing you how
to adhere them quickly and properly. The device analyzes
the heart’s rhythm and then does the rest. With
the semiautomatic CR Plus the device analyzes the heart’s
rhythm and tells you to push a button if the heart needs
a shock.
The CR Plus offers the quality and performance preferred
by the vast majority of emergency medical teams around
the world. Sleek and lightweight, the CR Plus uses the
latest ADAPTIV™ biphasic technology and upholds
the standards of excellence found in all LIFEPAK products.
With Infant/Child Reduced Energy Defibrillation Electrodes,
the LIFEPAK CR Plus defibrillator may also be used on
children up to 8 years old or 25 kg (55 lb).

ZOLL Medical Corporation (NASDAQ: ZOLL), with worldwide headquarters in
Chelmsford, Massachusetts, designs, manufactures, and markets resuscitation
solutions. ZOLL also designs and markets software that automates
the collection and management of both clinical and non clinical
data.
ZOLL AED Plus with CPR Feedback
The AED Plus(tm) is the only AED that helps rescuers achieve the
recommended depth and rate of chest compressions during CPR. By
creating a device that focuses on every step of the rescue process,
ZOLL differentiates its AED from other products. While other AEDs
concentrate on the delivery of the "shock," ZOLL's AED
Plus guides rescuers through the "Chain of Survival,"
including checking the victim's vital signs, calling 911, defibrillation,
and the proper administration of CPR.
The AED Plus with CPR Feedback has a unique one-piece pre-connected
electrode, known as the CPR-D padz(tm). Its unique technology offers
an unmatched four-year shelf life, twice that of others on the market.
The
CPR-D padz includes a hand-placement locator and accurately measures
CPR compressions, allowing for feedback on proper rate and depth.
Audio
Feedback tells a rescuer, "Press Harder" or "Good
Compressions."
The AED Plus is the only AED to use cost-effective off-the-shelf
lithium batteries. It is immediately recognized by its distinct
lime-green color, which was chosen for its association with safety,
calming effect on the rescuer, and its ability to be easily seen.
