Samaritan AED

The HeartSine samaritan is available in 3 models: 350P, 360P & 460P.  See below for specifics, but they are all lightweight (under 3 pounds) and easy-to-use.  Each AED comes with HeartSine’s practical Pad-Pak™, which incorporates the battery and electrodes in a single-use cartridge.  For children younger than 8 years or weighing less than 25 kg (55 lbs), a Pediatric-Pak™ is available.  

HeartSine PAD 350P:

The HeartSine samaritan® PAD 350P Semi-automatic AED was designed especially for use in public areas by providing a sophisticated defibrillator for adult or pediatric use, inside a lightweight and easy-to-operate system. Its advanced technology is balanced against the demands of real world use.  

HeartSine PAD 360P:

Same as the PAD 350P but with Automatic Shock Delivery: After analyzing heart rhythm, the PAD 360P will automatically deliver a shock (if needed), eliminating the need for the rescuer to push a shock button.

HeartSine PAD 450P:

CPR Rate Advisor™ ICG technology  
The HeartSine samaritan PAD 450P (SAM 450P) with CPR Rate Advisor provides real-time feedback to the rescuer on the rate and fraction of the CPR they are providing to the victim during a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) resuscitation. The SAM 450P uses both audible and visual feedback to give the rescuer instruction to perform CPR at the rate recommended by the AHA/ERC guidelines. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, commonly known as CPR, is crucial to deliver oxygenated blood to the body’s vital organs. CPR Rate Advisor provides feedback to the rescuer on the rate of compressions the rescuer is providing to the victim via the defibrillator electrodes, without the addition of accelerometers (or pucks).

How CPR Rate Advisor works 
When a patient collapses and a rescuer performs CPR, the compressions applied by the rescuer cause the patient’s chest to change shape and result in a change to the patient’s ICG (impedance cardiogram) waveform. CPR Rate Advisor captures the change in the ICG waveform which it uses to count the number of compressions a rescuer administers. By counting deflections in the ICG waveform, CPR Rate Advisor determines the compression rate and advises the rescuer to “Push faster” if the compression per minute (CPM) rate is below that recommended by the AHA/ERC guidelines. Likewise, if the rescuer’s CPM rate is greater than that recommended by the AHA/ERC guidelines, CPR Rate Advisor will tell the rescuer to “Push slower”.

The AHA and ERC also recognize the need to keep interruptions to a minimum during CPR. The SAM 450P uses the signals detected through the electrode pads to determine if CPR is being performed when it should be and, if not, will prompt the rescuer to “Begin CPR.” The SAM 450P also will detect when compressions have stalled between shock decision cycles and give feedback to the rescuer to ensure that CPR interruptions are minimized thus maximizing hands-on time.

This real-time feedback is important as even though most trained rescuers understand the need to push hard and push fast, rescuer fatigue may set in after as little as one minute, resulting in slower compression rates. SAM 450P provides compression rate feedback to the rescuer via both visual indicators on the SAM 450P user interface and audible voice prompts.

Improved CPR rate efficacy 
CPR Rate Advisor, in conjunction with the metronome, is intended to help rescuers perform CPR in line with the AHA/ERC guidelines by monitoring their real-time CPR performance and helping to guide them toward the correct rate of compressions. Integrated CPR Rate Advisor helps improve compliance with CPR rate and CPR fraction guidelines. And because CPR Rate Advisor is integrated within HeartSine SAM 450P, a lifesaving shock can be delivered if needed.
