Key Link in the Chain of Survival

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are key links in the chain of survival of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Some cardiac events are treatable with effective CPR alone. Others require a combination of effective CPR and the delivery a lifesaving shock by an AED. Either way, every minute counts. Typically, only about five percent of SCA victims survive. However, survival rates can increase up to 74% if CPR and a shock from an AED are provided within three minutes of collapse. Reducing response time by even one or two minutes from collapse to shock can mean the difference between death and survival.

More than a simple AED, the HeartSine samaritan PAD 450P (SAM 450P) Automated External Defibrillator (AED) with integrated CPR Rate Advisor meets the needs of two key links in the chain of survival. Not only can the semi-automatic SAM 450P deliver a lifesaving shock, it provides real-time visual and verbal feedback to the rescuer on the rate of CPR compressions during an SCA resuscitation- effectively assisting the rescuer to perform CPR.

Real-Time CPR Rate Feedback

ICG-based feedback. With its revolutionary technology, HeartSine’s proprietary CPR Rate Advisor detects the rate of CPR being applied via the defibrillator electrodes, without the addition of accelerometers (or pucks) commonly used in other AED solutions.

Easy-to-follow visual and verbal guides. Designed for ease of use, the HeartSine Samaritan PAD 450P uses easy-to-understand visual and voice prompts to guide the rescuer through the entire CPR process, providing specific feedback on the rate of compressions.

Improved CPR fraction. To improve hands-on time for CPR delivery, the HeartSine Samaritan PAD 450P continues to remind the rescuer to perform CPR when no CPR is detected.

Ready to Shock

Highest level of protection from dust and water. With its IP56 rating, the HeartSine Samaritan PAD 450P defibrillator offers unmatched ruggedness.

Clinically validated technology. The HeartSine Samaritan PAD 450P utilizes proprietary electrode technology and SCOPE™ biphasic technology, an escalating, low-energy waveform that automatically adjusts for differences in patient impedance.

Most compact design. At 2.4 lbs and with a compact footprint, the HeartSine Samaritan PAD is the most portable AED on the market.
