The statistics

  • Cardiovascular disease (CVD) kills 150,000 people every year in the UK, and is responsible for more than a quarter of all deaths.
  • When a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) happens, the likelihood of surviving decreases by 10% with every minute that passes without defibrillation.
  • There is a 70% chance of survival if defibrillation happens within 3 minutes of the SCA. This increases to 90% if the heart is shocked within one minute of the SCA.
  • 75% of NHS ambulances arrive within 8 minutes.
  • Cardiac Science Powerheart® AEDs are easy to use – with one on hand, anyone can save a life.

What’s the best defibrillator for hotels?

We believe that the best defibrillator for hotels is an AED hotel employees, guests and stakeholders can use with ease, and which conducts extensive self-tests every day to ensure it is rescue ready.

So for your hotel defibrillator, we recommend the Powerheart® G5 AED:

  • Anyone can use it – Thanks to our RescueCoach™ voice prompts and helpful text screen, any willing rescuer will be told exactly how to use the defibrillator as they attempt resuscitation.
  • Automatic shock, only when needed – You can’t shock a patient whose heart doesn’t need defibrillation—our exclusive RhythmX technology monitors the patient’s heart rhythm and only applies a shock if necessary.
  • Rescue Ready® every day– Our patented technology scans your device every single day to make sure all critical components are present and functional – including pads, battery, and internal circuitry.
  • Tailored to patient needs – Using our STAR® biphasic software and variable escalating energy, your defibrillator will customise the number and power of shocks to the patient.
  • A safe environment for your customers – Providing defibrillators to protect your guests, clients and colleagues from SCAs is vital to your reputation as a trusted hospitality business.
  • Comprehensive liability protection – Unlike other defibrillator sellers, our indemnification policy protects anyone using the defibrillator for its intended purpose – not just those who are trained to use it.
  • One of the longest warranties in the industry – With 8 years of warranty, the G5 is a solid investment for your business. The Intellisense® battery that powers the AED also comes with a full operational 4-year guarantee. This is more than just a standard battery warranty. If the battery becomes low at any time in a four year period—including if this is from being used in rescues—we will replace it, ensuring you receive four years of service for the initial cost of the battery.
