Defibtech to Show New Lifeline PRO AED at Medica 2011

DUSSELDORF, Germany–(BUSINESS
WIRE)–Defibtech will demonstrate its new Lifeline PRO automated external
defibrillator (AED) at Medica 2011, Nov. 16-19, in Dusseldorf, Germany.

The Lifeline PRO provides professional responders with full
manual control over shock energy and shock delivery. In manual mode, the ECG is
clearly shown on the PROs large, brightly lit, high-resolution color display,
and the user can select the energy level and decide when to initiate charge and
shock. In AED mode, the PRO can display either an ECG or step-by-step video
instructions for performing defibrillation, chest compressions and rescue
breathing.

“The Lifeline PRO finally gives professional responders an
affordable way to do fully manual defibrillation. In addition, the PROs 3-lead
ECG monitoring capability gives them another valuable tool to use in caring for
their patients,” said Gianfranco Buchbinder, Defibtechs vice president of
international sales.

In addition to having full manual capabilities, the Lifeline
PRO can be used in AED mode, allowing the AED to make the shock/no-shock decisions
using field-proven arrhythmia detection technology. “In AED mode, the Lifeline
PRO provides CPR coaching and allows the rescuer to dynamically switch between
hands-only CPR and CPR with breathing,” Buchbinder added.

The Lifeline PRO continues Defibtechs tradition of
ease-of-maintenance with extensive configuration and information menus
presented on a full-color screen. When CPR protocols change, users can update
the audio and video instructions in the field by installing a software upgrade
using a USB cable or data card. In a similar fashion, data from the unit can be
recorded or retrieved from the PRO using a card or USB cable. The unit will
also be available as an AED with ECG display, without manual override, to be
marketed as the Lifeline ECG AED.

The Lifeline PRO and Lifeline ECG are not yet available for
sale. These products will be available in certain worldwide markets upon
applicable regulatory approval.

Like other Defibtech AEDs, the Lifeline PRO is distinguished
by ruggedness and durability, award-winning ergonomic design, easy maintenance,
and biphasic technology, a clinically proven waveform and algorithm to deliver
shocks and save lives.

“With AEDs in more than 40 countries, Defibtech continues to
set the bar for innovation, ease of use and value,” Buchbinder said. “Were
excited to be showing the Lifeline PRO at Medica 2011.”
