Key Features of the Powerheart G5 Semi-Automatic AED
- Real-Time CPR Feedback: The Intellisense CPR technology delivers live feedback on chest compression depth, rate, and release, ensuring optimal CPR effectiveness. Clear prompts like “Press Harder” or “Press Slower” guide responders to deliver the best care.
- User-Paced Rescue Prompts: The device adapts to user actions, providing step-by-step guidance through text and voice prompts, even in noisy environments, ensuring a seamless rescue process.
- Rugged & Reliable Design (IP55): Built for durability, the AED is IP55-rated for dust and water protection and drop-tested to military standards (1 meter), making it suitable for any environment.
- Rescue Ready Technology: The AED performs daily self-tests on its battery, software, pads, and hardware. A green Rescue Ready indicator confirms readiness, while a red X signals an issue.
- Quick Shock Delivery: The Powerheart G5 minimises pre-shock pauses, delivering therapy in under 10 seconds after CPR to improve survival chances.
- Dual-Language Functionality: Easily switch between two pre-set languages with the press of a button, ensuring accessibility for diverse users.
- Seamless Data Transfer: Rescue data can be quickly transferred via USB for easy record-keeping and post-event analysis.
- Intuitive Pad Design: Interchangeable pads ensure proper placement and optimal contact for shock delivery, simplifying use for first-time responders.
- Escalating Joules: The AED adjusts shock strength based on the heart’s condition, escalating energy levels if necessary to maximise the chance of restoring a normal rhythm.
- Dependable Performance: A medical-grade battery provides 4 years of operational life and a 5-year shelf life prior to installation, ensuring reliability when needed most.
- Paediatric Pads: For children aged 1-8 years, the device delivers reduced shock energy using optional child pads (sold separately) for safe, effective treatment.
