Cardiac Science’s patented Rescue Ready technology self-tests all main components and sets Cardiac Science’s heart defibrillators apart from competitors. You’ll find Cardiac Science defibrillators in hospitals, offices, schools, restaurants, malls, airports, libraries, and other public places – in short, just about any place someone could suffer sudden cardiac arrest.
Five reasons to choose a Powerheart AED G3 Plus for public access
1. Rescue Ready® performance sets us apart
Our patented Rescue Ready technology distinguishes us among competitors.
- Every day, to ensure anytime functionality, the Powerheart AED self checks all main components
(battery, hardware, software, and defibrillation pads).
- Every week, the AED completes a partial charge of the high-voltage electronics.
- Every month, the AED charges the high-voltage electronics to full energy.
If anything is amiss, the Rescue Ready status indicator on the AED handle changes from green to red and the device
emits an audible alert to prompt the user to service the unit. In sum, a Powerheart AED is Rescue Ready when a life
depends on it.
2. RescueCoachTM guides you through a rescue
Extensive prompts coach you through in a very stressful situation. We highlight a few of the prompts below.
- Stay calm. Follow these voice instructions. Make sure emergency services are called now!
- Begin by exposing patient’s bare chest and torso. Remove or cut clothing if needed.
- Tear open foil package across dotted line and remove pads.
- Do not touch patient, analyzing heart rhythm. Please wait.
- Preparing shock. Move away from the patient.
- Shock will be delivered in 3, 2, 1 – shock delivered. It is now safe to touch the patient.
- Lean over patient with elbows straight. Press the patient’s chest down rapidly – 1/3rd depth of chest – then release.
- Start CPR. Press. Press. Press. Press....
3. Helpful text screen
Text runs in tandem with the voice prompts. Especially useful for audio-challenged rescuers and in noisy environments,
the screen also provides valuable rescue information to professional rescuers when they arrive on the scene.
4. Variable escalating energy
Our AED determines the electrical impedance (resistance level) of each patient and customizes the energy level
delivered. If more than one shock is necessary, our proprietary STAR® biphasic software escalates the energy to deliver
therapy at an appropriate, higher level.
5. One of the longest warranties in the industry
Each AED is under warranty for seven years – one of the longest in the industry. We also provide a four-year, full
operational guarantee on the Intellisense® lithium battery (item 9146) used with the AED G3 and G3 Plus defibrillators.
