What Is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), also known as sudden cardiac death, is when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. When this occurs, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs. SCA usually causes death if not treated in minutes.
The heart has an internal electrical system that controls the rhythm of the heartbeat. Problems with the electrical system can cause abnormal heart rhythms, called arrhythmias (ah-RITH-me-ahs). There are many types, and during an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or it can stop beating. SCA occurs when the heart develops an arrhythmia that causes it to stop beating. SCA is not the same thing as a heart attack. A heart attack is a problem with blocked blood flow to a part of the heart muscle. In a heart attack, the heart usually does not suddenly stop beating. SCA, however, may happen during recovery from a heart attack. People with heart disease have a higher chance of having SCA. But most SCAs happen in people who appear healthy and have no known heart disease or other risk factors for SCA.
Outlook: Ninety-five percent of people who have SCA die from it, most within minutes. Rapid treatment of SCA with a device that sends an electrical shock to the heart (called a defibrillator) can be lifesaving. Automated external defibrillators (AEDs), which are often found in public places like airports and office buildings, can be used to save the lives of people having SCAs.

The distinctively clean and uncluttered design provides every rescuer with a simple-to-use interface meaning less confusion at critical moments.

The Powerheart AED G3
When Cardiac Science "supercharged" their FirstSave® AED G3 design, the Powerheart AED G3 was born. They started by adding a text prompt window to enhance the machine's detailed voice prompts, then added escalating energy settings, a visual self-check indicator, and topped it off with an unprecedented four-year battery warranty you won't find on any other AED model! All of this and Cardiac Science's patented RHYTHMx® analysis software, STAR® biphasic waveform, and Rescue Coach™ intuitive voice prompts make the Powerheart AED G3 Plus their flagship defibrillator.
ZOLL® AED Plus® Package
The ZOLL AED Plus is more than just an AED...it's a CPR coach, too! That's the "Plus". Imagine having a tool built in to your AED that guides you through the entire resuscitation from "A" to "Z" with feedback to make sure you do everything right. No other AED has it... The use of an AED is a critical component of CPR. That means you or your rescue team will probably have to perform chest compressions and rescue breathing on your patient after you've delivered life-saving shocks. During an emergency like this it might be a challenge remembering all the proper steps of CPR. But there's no need to worry! The ZOLL AED Plus with its clear voice prompts, pictures, and text display (and optional ECG display) is with you the whole way.
Philips HeartStart FRx
At the core of all HeartStart Defibrillators is SMART Biphasic technology. The HeartStart FRx Defibrillator's biphasic waveform delivers a highly effective defibrillation shock that is also gentle to the heart. No other external defibrillation therapy has been supported by more published clinical data. SMART Analysis, a proven Philips technology for heart rhythm assessment, ensures that the FRx Defibrillator only shocks when it should. SMART Analysis automatically assesses the victim's heart rhythm and is designed not to deliver a shock unless the rhythm is determined to be shock able - even if the shock button is pressed. What's more, SMART Pads II enable the FRx to keep pace with the responder by adjusting to their actions.

Tool of the pros; simplicity for the lay responder. The FR2+ has come to be a trusted tool of professional responders and designated response teams in the work place and public settings.

Commands are clear, streamlined, confident, and concise: ideal for responders who are trained, drilled, and ready to save a life now.
