Why have a spare Vivest P1 rechargeable battery?
A defibrillator is only ready for use when its power supply works. A battery on standby needs recharging every 3 months, and after a few years or several hundred cycles it loses performance. A spare Vivest P1 rechargeable battery lets you replace a worn one immediately without taking the AED out of service. A spare Vivest P1 rechargeable battery is especially useful where the AED is often used for training or demonstrations.
It is worth appointing a person responsible for the AED who regularly checks the readiness indicator and makes sure it is charged. You will find other batteries in the category AED defibrillator batteries.
An AED – working and available at all times
In sudden cardiac arrest time matters: the earlier defibrillation takes place, the greater the chance of survival. That is why an AED should hang in a known, signposted place, with a charged battery and valid electrodes. When someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally, call for help, start chest compressions and ask for the defibrillator to be brought.
