Before buying a defibrillator, there are some basic things to consider. AED defibrillators from Schiller Medizintechnik GmbH can save the patient's life urgently as part of first aid measures in the event of cardiac arrest or ventricular fibrillation. Modern AED devices should also be able to help untrained personnel save the patient by defibrillation.
To ensure that both professionals and laymen can master the defibrillation energy of the AED, the purchased defibrillator and electrodes should be very intuitive, easy to understand and use. Operation is carried out in a 1-2-3 step (start - analyze - shock)

For every Schiller defibrillator, automatic and autonomous function testing is a matter of course. The counterpart of the defibrillator AED is the implantable cardioverter defibrillator. However, a cardioverter defibrillator can only help the person who carries it. On the other hand, Schiller's AED devices (defibrillators) can help everyone and every child quickly and reliably. When buying a defibrillator, you should also look for an LCD screen. This makes it easier to use. Warranty is always crucial for a defibrillator. Depending on the scope of delivery, the manufacturer offers a warranty of up to 10 years for the SCHILLER FRED PA-1 defibrillator. If you buy an AED defibrillator, the purchase should be as simple as the use. Schiller defibrillators are easier to use than chest compressions. There are fully automatic and manually operated defibrillators. With manually operated defibrillators, the doctor should decide whether to apply a shock and with how much energy.
How often do defibrillators need to be serviced?
Like all medical devices, defibrillators are subject to regular tests, known as safety checks – STK for short, according to German law. Ideally, Schiller AED devices and each individual electrode are also checked before medically necessary use. The purpose of the control is to protect devices, such as defibrillators, from safety defects.
Until 2017, some automatic external defibrillators, such as the Schiller FRED Easyport, were exempt from STK. The reason is that each device automatically performs an automatic function test. Although the company advocates STK testing, it is not mandatory. Since January 1, 2017, safety checks and protocols have been required for every automatic external defibrillator every two years. For full documentation, all protocols should always be visible in the device logbook.
Maintenance intervals and safety checks (STK) are extremely important for this type of medical device. Only a properly functioning defibrillator can prevent sudden cardiac death and save lives. Accessories such as a suitable bag protect the defibrillator from external influences and make it more comfortable to wear. For public facilities, the defibrillator can be installed in a wall cabinet protected by an alarm. AED defibrillators tested in this way can also help emergency services reduce the risk of cardiac arrest.
