The FRED PA-1 Automated External Defibrillator from Schiller has been designed with simplicity at its core, empowering anybody, whether they have had first aid training or not, to be a lifesaver.
In instances of sudden cardiac arrest, quick and effective intervention from bystanders is vital to give casualties a chance of survival. The FRED PA-1 AED powers up immediately when the device cover is lifted and the electrode pads are pre-connected. Through a combination of clear audio instructions and simple illustrations, the user is walked through the life-saving process. There is a repeat button for the audio instructions should users miss a step.
The FRED PA-1 performs a rapid heart analysis whilst simultaneously pre-charging for a shock so it can be delivered as quickly as possible if needed. Shocks are issued automatically when required without further intervention from the user.
CPR is an essential component of successful resuscitation, so the FRED PA-1 guides the user in performing CPR by indicating the correct hand positioning, setting a rhythm for chest compressions with a metronome, and providing live feedback on the frequency of chest compressions.
The AED performs regular-self tests to ensure it is always ready for use and, with a battery standby life of 6 years, is one of the most economical AEDs on the market. The AED has an IP55 rating for dust and water protection and can operate in temperatures of -5 to 40C. Weighing just 2.5kg and featuring an integrated handle, the AED is easy to transport to the scene of an emergency. The device can store up to 2 hours of intervention data on a SD card, making retrieval of the data and software updates simple.
Both adult & paediatric pads for performing defibrillation on children are available for the FRED PA-1. The device recognises which pads are attached automatically and adjusts shock energy accordingly. The Children’s pads can be stored at the back of the device, minimising the delay in switching to the correct pads.
