We don't just sell defibrillators we support them for
life. With the changes in 2005 all defibrillators were required to be
upgraded to the new guidelines. Defibtech were the only company that
offered free upgrades of both defibrillators and trainer units. This
upgrade can be done in the field via the units SD card interface. In
December 2010 the new guidelines will be announced, make sure you
purchase a defibrillator that has a lifetime support guarantee. |

The number one killer in Ireland is Sudden Cardiac Death Syndrome, killing more than 16,000 people a year.
Unfortunately, the common belief is that it only strikes the elderly,
overweight, and infirm. It can strike anyone, anywhere, at any time and in most cases
without warning. Now there is something you can do to improve the
survivability of sudden cardiac arrest in Ireland with a solution that
is both easy to use and extremely affordable.
In fact, sudden cardiac arrest is truly a public health
crisis. Unlike other health problems of this magnitude it is
treatable. The cure for most cases of sudden cardiac arrest is
immediate treatment with a defibrillator.
Time to defibrillation is the most critical factor in survival of
sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). If an AED is "on-site" within two minutes
there is an 80% chance that the victim will survive. This is one of
the reasons that survival rates improve in areas with active AED
programmes. Remember, every minute that passes before defibrillation
the survival rate reduces by 7-10 percent. Currently in Ireland the
survivability rate for out of hospital cardiac arrest is 1%.
For first response professionals like police, fire and the
ambulance service the AED is standard equipment. For schools, offices, stores, factories, gyms, public places
and community groups, it's becoming as vital as the fire extinguisher. |

National Defibrillator Standards 2008 |
The
Report of the Task Force on Sudden Cardiac Death |
|
 |
 |
In Ireland, the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council (PHECC) has a statutory responsibility for standards and training in prehospital emergency care. PHECC has identified the need for
information and guidelines to be available to anyone considering the purchase of an Advisory External Defibrillator(AED) for use in the community. PHECC therefore invited the Centre for Immediate Care
Services, UCD, to develop standards for potential purchasers of an AED.
A working group was established with extensive clinical, technical and procedural expertise to develop these Standards. The Standards
comprise one part of a broader strategy being developed by the Health Service Executive to implement the recommendations of the Task Force and are not therefore intended to address issues other
than how to select the right AED for your needs. |
The Minister for Health and Children established the Task
Force on Sudden Cardiac Death in the Autumn of 2004, with the
following terms of reference: Define SCD and describe its incidence and underlying causes in
Ireland. Advise on the detection and assessment of those at high risk of
SCD and their relatives. Advise on the systematic assessment of those engaged in sports
and exercise for risk of SCD
Advise on maximizing access to basic life support (BLS) and
automated external
defibrillators (AEDs) and on: appropriate levels of training in BLS and use of AEDs, and on the
maintenance of that
training. Priority individuals and priority groups for such training.
Geographic areas and functional locations of greatest need. Best practice models of ‘first responder schemes’ and ‘public
access defibrillation’, and integration of such training services. |
