One of my friends (Steve) had played a few games and was sitting down.
He was talking to a few of us and suddenly passed out. He was totally
unresponsive and was laboring extremely hard to breathe. Within 1 minute he
had completely stopped breathing and did not have a pulse. A security guard
at Second Baptist Church had come into the gym area and was carrying your
companys AED. The security guard started to administer CPR and I took the
AED and opened it. It immediately started giving me verbal instructions on
how to use it. (I have no medical or CPR training, nor have I ever used an AED
device.) I tore open the packet and attached the electrodes to Steves chest.
After analyzing Steves heart beat it determined his heart was fibrillating. Within
20-30 seconds after the shock his heart was beating at about 80 beats per
minute and he had begun to breathe again. Steve woke up about 7-8 minutes
later when the paramedics arrived. He was taken to the hospital immediately,
and underwent triple bypass the next day. It turns out he has absolutely NO
heart or brain damage. He was released from the hospital only 6 days after he
arrived and is recuperating very well. His doctors are amazed and he expects a
full recovery within 2-3 months!
Steves cardiologist told him that fewer than 5% of patients who have this
fatal arrhythmia ever even survive.
WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!!
I just wanted to say thank you again for making a difference. And thanks
for helping me save my friends life!

Did you know? According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 13 percent of all workplace fatalities
result from sudden cardiac arrest.

Time is the critical factor
Several studies document the effects of time to defibrillation and the effects of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on survival
from SCA. For every minute that passes between collapse and defibrillation, survival rates from witnessed VF SCA decrease 7 to 10 percent
if no CPR is provided.
VF rarely converts spontaneously. Its ultimately a defibrillator that saves lives. Make sure you have one when its needed.
When you bring AEDs to your facility, you empower
teachers, employees, and/or bystanders to all become
part of the chain of survival
According to the American Heart Association (AHA) and European Resuscitation
Council (ERC), a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) victim requires defibrillation to
stop ventricular fibrillation (VF), an often-fatal heart abnormality. The sooner the
defibrillation, the better the victims chances of survival precisely why having
your own automated external defibrillator (AED) to use while you're waiting for
emergency medical responders is so important.

4 The Powerheart
®
family of defibrillators
Most anyone can operate a Powerheart AED G3 Plus
In the chaos that follows SCA, concerned but untrained bystanders are scared. Do they know what to do? Theres a life on the line!
We designed the Powerheart AED G3 Plus with RescueCoach voice prompts to talk rescuers through the steps.
+
When the rescuer applies the defibrillation pads, the G3 Plus Automatic analyzes the heart rhythm and knows when to deliver
(or not deliver) the shock.
+
The shock is delivered automatically, with no button to push, and no human intervention. (We also make a semi-automatic version.)
+
After the shock, the unit prompts for CPR with a built-in metronome that sets the pace for proper chest compressions.
Fifteen minutes after a Cummins Inc. employee learned
how to use a Powerheart AED, he saved a colleagues life.

In a University of Pennsylvania simulated rescue,
the Powerheart AED G3 Plus helped untrained
adults deliver CPR of a quality similar
to that of trained professionals. 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. RescueCoach
TM
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 patients 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 patients chest down rapidly 1/3
rd
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.

Cardiac Science in the community
Remember when fire extinguishers were optional? Soon, AED use could be just as widespread. When the community deploys AEDs,
everyday citizens become part of the emergency response system, increasing the likelihood that first responders can save a life.
The United Kingdom supports the worlds largest government-funded Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) program. With 2,600 Cardiac
Science AEDs deployed in businesses, schools, government offices, and other public areas, survival rates improved from 5% to around 25%¹.
With results like these, its no wonder Cardiac Science is committed to increase AED placements dramatically, all over the globe!

These are just some of the companies using Powerheart products The Powerheart AED G3 Pro
®
for professional responders
Puts you in
complete control
Designed for professional and medically trained responders, the G3 Pro features the
industrys first color ECG display, manual override, and 3lead ECG monitoring
capabilities. With its RHYTHMx analysis algorithm, the G3 Pro lets first responders
proactively monitor for life-threatening arrhythmias. This is a major benefit. The
earlier a responder recognizes cardiac arrest, the shorter the time to defibrillation,
and the better the chance for survival.
A host of benefits
The G3 Pro comes fully equipped with:
+
Color ECG display, manual override, and 3lead ECG monitoring capabilities.
+
Our patented Rescue Ready technology to self-test all critical components
(battery, pads, and electronic systems) daily.
+ Non-committed shock, pacemaker detection, and synchronized shock features.
+
A built-in metronome (which can be switched off ) to set the pace
for CPR compressions.
+
Escalating STAR biphasic technology for customized patient therapy.
+
A 7-year AED warranty.
Plus, we offer rechargeable and non-rechargeable battery options.
Choose the one that best fits your needs.
The easy-to-use color ECG display serves
a vital role. Since the Powerheart Pro is a
defibrillator and cardiac monitor in one,
the emergency responder has one less
thing to do and more time to administer
critical care. The display shows the patients
heart rate, the waveform, the number of
shocks delivered, and the elapsed time;
exactly what
