Some defibrillators have visual prompts on a screen making them particularly well suited to a noisy environment or locations where the device may need to be used by non-English speakers. Would this be beneficial for you?

The Resus Council advise that to save a person’s life, a defibrillator must be used to deliver a shock at the earliest possible moment after cardiac arrest – if possible, within 3 minutes. How many units would you need in order to achieve this across the area you want to protect?


A Semi-Automatic defibrillator tells the rescuer that a shock is advised and has a button for the rescuer to push to deliver the shock, whereas if a shockable heart rhythm is detected through the electrode pads, a Fully-Automatic defibrillator warns rescuers to stand clear and shocks the patient without the need for you to press anything.


Defibrillators all perform self-testing on a weekly basis, but some can perform their self-tests daily. Some defibrillator guardians prefer this peace-of-mind, although there will be some negative effect on the overall battery life.

Most defibrillators can guide rescuers with CPR, but some will also analyse the chest compressions and give live feedback to make sure that the rescuer provides the best quality CPR.



All defibrillators can be made safe for use on children under 8 years old; most commonly by using specific Child electrode pads (usually sold separately), which reduce the shock level. Some devices are designed instead to have a built-in switch to reduce the shock to be suitable for use on a child under 8, saving precious time in a rescue. Is this a feature that you feel would be important?
