Checking a defibrillator for readiness isn’t the most complex task in the world. However, it is one you want to get right. Using a physical checklist, or its digital equivalent, will make checks repeatable, reliable and auditable. Regular check will mean you’re always providing a serviceable and rescue-ready to the community around you.

It’s likely no surprise that a defibrillator is a serious financial investment. Communities fundraise for months to purchase and install a community AED device before a guardian takes over its care. Installing a defibrillator shows commitment to community health, giving a rescuer the best odds of saving a life in an emergency.

The importance of having public access defibrillators in remote locations was highlighted in a recent incident in Cornwall, where a quick-thinking volunteer dad saved the life of a 14-year-old boy who had collapsed while mountain biking.

The Defib Ready pilot is in full swing. 45 life-saving defibrillators are being upgraded to provide usage tracking and environmental monitoring.

Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death globally, with over 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurring annually in the United Kingdom alone. The swift and effective application of a defibrillator, such as the HeartSine Samaritan PAD 360P, can greatly improve the chances of survival for an individual experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
