The DefiSign LIFE automatic AED defibrillator is a Schiller defibrillator designed for public access defibrillation – for companies, schools, public offices and sports facilities. When the device detects a rhythm requiring defibrillation, it warns of the shock and delivers it itself, without the rescuer's involvement.
As soon as the lid is opened the defibrillator starts giving voice prompts, and the next steps are shown by illuminated pictograms on the housing. The device also warns when the electrodes are approaching their expiry date.
The housing has an IP55 rating. The DefiSign LIFE battery has a 6-year shelf life, and the adult electrodes for DefiSign LIFE – 2.5 years. For children, paediatric electrodes for DefiSign LIFEare used. The manufacturer gives a 10-year warranty. The DefiSign LIFE automatic AED defibrillator should be kept in a visible, signposted place so that anyone can reach it quickly.
Why the DefiSign LIFE automatic AED defibrillator?
Simple operation and automatic shock delivery mean that even a person who has never held an AED can use the device. The long 10-year warranty and 6-year battery make it easier to plan maintenance costs for years ahead. The DefiSign LIFE automatic AED defibrillator works well where the device may be used by bystanders.
The version with a shock button is the DefiSign LIFE semi-automatic. You will find other models in the category AED defibrillators and accessories.
An AED ready at all times
A defibrillator only helps if it works and can be reached quickly. Appoint a person to regularly check the readiness indicator and the expiry dates of the battery and electrodes. When someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally, call 112, start chest compressions and ask for an AED to be brought – action taken by a bystander can decide whether the casualty survives.
