Key link in the chain of survival
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are key links in the chain of survival of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Some cardiac events are treatable with effective CPR alone. Others require a combination of effective CPR and the delivery a lifesaving shock by an AED. Either way, every minute counts.1

Only about five percent of SCA victims survive.2 However, survival rates can increase up to 74%3 if CPR and a shock from an AED are provided within three minutes of collapse. Reducing response time by even one or two minutes from collapse to shock can mean the difference between death and survival.1

Offering real-time CPR feedback, the HeartSine samaritan PAD 500P (SAM 500P) automated external defibrillator (AED) with CPR Advisor meets the needs of two key links in the chain of survival.

Not only can the SAM 500P deliver a lifesaving shock, it provides real-time visual and verbal feedback to the rescuer on the force
and rate of CPR compressions during an SCA resuscitation — effectively assisting the rescuerto perform CPR.

Real-time CPR feedbackIntegrated real-time CPR feedback
Easy-to-understand visual and voice prompts guide the rescuer through the entire resuscitation process, providing specific feedback on the force and rate of compressions.

Ready to shockUnique Pediatric-Pak
Ensures the guidelines-recommended energy level is delivered for children, between 1 and 8 years of age or up to 25 kg (55 lb).

High level of protection from dust and water
Offers IP56 rating, one of the highest ratings in the industry.

Clinically validated technology4
Advanced electrode technology and SCOPE biphasic technology, a low energy escalating waveform that automatically adjusts for differences in patient impedance.

Highly portable
With the lightest weight and most compact footprint among leading AEDs, is easily transported and fit into constrained spaces.

Simple to own

Two parts, one expiration date
The innovative Pad-Pak, an integrated battery and electrode single-use cartridge with one expiration date, offers one simple maintenance change every four years.

Low cost of ownership
Shelf life of four years means that the Pad-Pak may offer savings over other defibrillators that require separate battery and electrode replacements.

8-year warranty
AED is backed by an 8-year limited warranty

AED users should be trained in CPR and in the use of the AED.
Although not everyone can be saved, studies show that early defibrillation can dramatically improve survival rates. AEDs are indicated for use on adults and children. AEDs may be used on children weighing less than 25 kg (55 lb) but some models require separate defibrillation electrodes.

The HeartSine samaritan PAD 500P Defibrillator combines the very best in public access AED technology. Offering the unique CPR feedback technology, the 500p gives real-time feedback to the rescuer thus maximising the chances of survival!

In making a decision as to which Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to purchase, you need to carefully consider the 4 links in the internationally accepted chain of survival – otherwise your investment might be an unwise one. These links are:

• • Early Access – (i.e. someone has to be there to help)
  • Early CPR
  • Early Defibrillation
  • Early Advanced Care – (i.e. the victim needs to receive hospitalisation).

In the case of Sudden Cardiac Arrest, good CPR is essential to maintain the supply of oxygenated blood to the brain and other organs, as the first Defibrillator shock from an AED will not always bring about a return of spontaneous circulation.

About 70% of all CPR is ineffectively performed, so the HeartSine Samaritan 500P Defibrillator contains technology that determines whether your compressions are effective, electrically through the defibrillation pads.

Not only will voice prompts guide you through the process of defibrillation, but this device will tell you to “Push Harder” or whether you are doing “Good Compressions” during CPR – all based on real cardiac output (real blood flow).

Specially designed for use in public areas, the HeartSine Samaritan PAD 500P is a sophisticated semi-automatic defibrillator for adult or paediatric use, inside a lightweight and easy-to-operate system. The SAM 500P is a defibrillator designed to analyse heart rhythm and automatically deliver an electrical shock (if needed). Its advanced technology is balanced against the demands of effective CPR in real-world use.

The SAM 500P also uses HeartSine’s practical Pad-Pak™, which incorporates the battery and electrodes in a quick to replace single-use cartridge – meaning only one expiration date to monitor and only one item to replace after use. The SAM 500P is suitable for use on adults and children. For children younger than 8 years or weighing less than 25 kg (55 lbs), a Pediatric-Pak™ is available.

Investing in an AED is a great step forward because it can increase the chance of survival for witnessed Cardiac Arrest from 5% to 85% – when combined with the other links in the chain of survival. But most models on the market will leave you vulnerable on your ability to ensure good CPR. Even AED’s that claim to have CPR feedback technology do not have the ability to determine the effectiveness of your compressions – they simply are basing the feedback on how hard you are pushing. Now, unfortunately, there is a huge difference from individual to individual, with appropriate force and pressure required to perform effective compressions.

With the HeartSine Samaritan 500P Defibrillator’s world-leading CPR advisor technology, you make every second of your rescue efforts count. There are people alive today that have been saved by the 500p… and others who have the comforting knowledge that they did everything they could.
