How to easily choose the right defibrillator

There are lots to choose from. But having a defibrillator in your workplace is guaranteed to help save lives. Like any decision, making the right one can be tough – in fact, many experts on decision making say that in general the more options we have, the harder it becomes to choose.
Imagine all the different kinds of defibrillators there are, and how many different ways they could be possibly put together for your use. Each defibrillator is composed of so many different parts – batteries, pads, electrodes – that it's understandable that this amount of choice might make the decision harder. But it doesn't have to be that way. Let us explain.
What matters to you
Many defibs in our shop have been arranged into the right categories so that you know that they are right for your workplace. We've taken the time organise this for you, and made sure that everything we've included is useful – without overcrowding your judgement.
This allows you to think more clearly about the decision for your workplace and the reasons that you have for buying the defibrillator.
In other words, as you are aware that having a defibrillator in the workplace saves lives, you can focus on evaluating fewer options and pick the winning choice.
There are a few things to think about before you make your purchase. Let's break those down:
Your workplace – The first part of your decision. Ask yourself questions like who is going to use the device and this will help you make later decisions.
Features - Some defibs are fancy while others go for simplicity. It all depends on your needs. For example, medical professionals might want a device that saves and transfers data of the incident to a computer.
Ease of use – Of course some defibs are more user friendly than others. And it goes without saying that a simpler device is more useful in schools.
Costs – Costs will come into the decision. You might factor in how many devices you would like, your budget, and replacement parts too.
