HeartSine unveils AED with real-time CPR rate feedback

June 16, 2015 By MDO Editor

HeartSine Technologies debuts the first and only FDA-cleared Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to provide real-time verbal and visual feedback on the rate of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) compressions on June 8, 2015. The HeartSine samaritan PAD 450P (SAM 450P) with integrated CPR Rate Advisor provides real-time CPR rate feedback that guides the rescuer through the critical chain of survival during a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) resuscitation and delivers a shock when necessary.

While some SCA victims benefit from the delivery of a shock, effective CPR with minimum interruption will maximize the chances of a positive outcome for virtually every SCA victim. Using HeartSine’s proprietary ICG-based technology, the SAM 450P provides the rescuer with continuous real-time verbal prompts of “Push faster,” “Push slower” or “Good speed” to help achieve the optimum rate of compressions as defined by the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for CPR.

The SAM 450P also incorporates an intuitive LED-based visual feedback feature that operates in tandem with the verbal prompts enabling rescuers to operate in extra noisy environments. Its ICG-based technology monitors the real-time chart of the small scale changes in patient impedance when the SAM 450P is employed.

Because it has the unique capability to detect CPR rate effectiveness via the standard electrode pads, the SAM 450P does not require any additional, expensive and time consuming assemblies associated with accelerometer (or puck) based solutions.

“With the growing importance of rate in the AHA CPR guidelines, we believe this new AED will help improve CPR efficacy and potentially increase the rate of survival among victims of SCA,” said Stephen Garrett, HeartSine’s vice president of sales for the Americas. “Verbal and visual feedback prompts not only guide the rescuer to provide the optimum rate of compressions, but reassure the rescuer in an otherwise highly stressful situation.”

The AHA CPR guidelines also recognize the need to keep interruptions during CPR to a minimum as another key element in the chain of survival during an SCA. Therefore, to maximize CPR fraction prior to and during CPR, the SAM 450P uses the signals detected through the electrode pads to prompt the rescuer to “Begin CPR” when compressions are not started or have stalled between shock decision cycles.

Following an SCA rescue with the SAM 450P, HeartSine’s free of charge event analysis software, Saver EVO, can be used to download event history through the integrated USB port. This data can be used to evaluate the rescuer’s effectiveness in achieving effective compression rate.

The HeartSine samaritan PAD 450P (SAM 450P) with integrated CPR Rate Advisor provides real-time CPR rate feedback that guides the rescuer through the critical chain of survival during a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) resuscitation and delivers a shock when necessary.

In addition to the highly touted CPR rate feedback capability, the SAM 450P offers the same great features as the other models in the samaritan PAD family:

  • Most Compact AED
  • Smallest and lightest FDA-cleared AED
  • Easy to Use
  • Simple two-button operation, with no lid to open and clear verbal and visual prompts simplify the user interface

Highest IP Rating

With the highest rating for water and dust ingress protection (IP56) of any FDA-cleared AED, the samaritan PAD is the most environmentally-rugged AED available on the market

One-Change Maintenance

All samaritan PAD devices use the same innovative Pad-Pak cartridge that houses both the battery and electrodes for the device. With a four-year life and a single expiration date, the proprietary Pad-Pak eliminates the need and reduces the costs to track and inventory two separate items, giving the samaritan PAD one of the lowest costs of ownership in the industry.

Along with the SAM 450P, HeartSine will offer a new samaritan PAD Trainer TRN-450 that simplifies CPR and AED training. The easy-to-use samaritan PAD Trainer with remote control guides users through simulated analysis, energy delivery and prompted CPR with the look and feel of a live samaritan Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) without the actual charge and discharge of an electrical shock.

In addition to offering preprogrammed scenarios recommended by the AHA for certified AED training classes, this new trainer simulates the SAM 450P AED by providing the same visual and verbal CPR Rate Advisor prompts.

The SAM 450P, which has an MSRP of $2,050 and an eight-year lifetime warranty, includes the device, an adult Pad-Pak, a soft carrying case, SAM 450P User Manual and Emergency User Guide. This new device is immediately available through online and regional authorized distributors in the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
