CardiAid CT0207 AED «The best public access defibrillator!» Distinguishing Features
CardiAid does not have an on-off button, automatically starts operating when the cover is opened; which provides simplicity and fastness. The user switches on the device simply by opening the cover. The user does not need to push an on-off button, which will save time in an emergency. NO ON-OFF BUTTON => SAVING TIME IN EMERGENCY CardiAid guides the user with clear instructions with optimum combination of content and duration from the beginning to the end of the whole process. The instructions are both explanatory and time efficient.
CardiAid guides the user with a combination of verbal instructions, pictures and lights. CardiAid is designed to assist the user with both pictures, flashing lights of different colours and sound at the same time, thus maximizing the performance. The pictures are simple and explanatory; the flashing lights are designed to emphasize the pictures and buttons, with white flashing light showing the stage of the process and red flashing light only indicating the shock button. In this way, all steps are ensured to be implemented accurately even if the user has limited knowledge or experience about resuscitation.
CardiAid was designed specially for public-access use. This is why inessential functions like ECG display are omitted. A nonmedical person will not be able to read this graph, and will not have to, since CardiAid will automatically analyse the heart rhythm and decide whether shock is necessary or not. NO ECG DISPLAY => SUITABLE FOR PUBLIC-ACCESS USE To minimize the responsibility of the owner of CardiAid and risk of forgetting to charge the battery CardiAid does not use a rechargeable battery. NO RECHARGEABLE BATTERY => NO RISK OF NOT CHARGING
CardiAid s electrodes are pre-connected, which enables the device to be always ready to use and gain time in an emergency. PRE-CONNECTED ELECTRODES => SAVING TIME IN EMERGENCY CardiAid works with one-button operation principle for providing immediate treatment and highest safety. The user is asked to press the shock-button, to ensure that the patient is not being touched or moved. ONE-BUTTON OPERATION => IMMEDIATE TREATMENT & SAFETY CardiAid performs automatic self-test daily, monthly and when the cover of the device is opened. This function enables CardiAid to be in-use without a problem whenever needed.
High quality standards are satisfied with all processes throughout the complete supply chain, from product development to production and aftersales services. German Technology Dutch Design Manufactured in France
CardiAid records ECG data and event data. Last 4 events with a total maximum duration of 4 hours are stored in the internal memory. The data can be transferred from the device via Bluetooth connection to PC with a special software. Event documentation is important because if the memory of the device is small, it cannot save all the data for the whole incident. Sometimes, the AED can stay connected to the patient until they arrive to the hospital and it can be hours in rural areas. CardiAid does not only store the ECG data, it automatically creates an "incident report" with all the valuable information. This report can be obtained by the authorized service providers only, providing the security and the confidentiality of the data.
CardiAid comes to the user as a complete rescue package. Also the protection bag, emergency kit and the quick reference card is included in the standard package.

Maintenance Policy The time and place of a sudden cardiac arrest case is unpredictable. For this reason, CardiAid is aimed to be always ready to use, ready to save. CardiAid has a periodical maintenance policy which is standard for all countries and markets. This standard maintenance policy ensures that a CardiAid AED is always in good condition and ready to use. The standard maintenance reduces the responsibility of the user to follow the replacement dates of spare parts separately. Instead, the replacement of the battery and electrodes are synchronized to one periodical maintenance package. Also, function tests are performed with a special simulator.
Why maintenance is necessary for AEDs? Automated External Defibrillator is a medical device containing an electronic board, disposable electrodes and operated by a battery. An AED can be used by a rescuer who does not have any medical profession or experience. For this reason, the AED should always be ready to use whenever it is needed. Therefore every AED should be checked and maintained periodically to ensure that the device can be used safely and effectively.
Why do we say that CardiAid is the only brand with a maintenance policy? CardiAid AED was designed to be the best public access defibrillator with the philosophy of being the most easy to use AED for any rescuer. Its self-test algorithm and unique maintenance policy ensure that CardiAid AED is always ready to use. CardiAid AED was developed to automatically warn the owner with light and sound every 2 year for maintenance. The maintenance is performed only by the CardiAid Service Providers. Batteries and electrode pads are replaced. Also, function tests are performed with a special simulator. Maintenance done by authorized service provider also ensures that the electrodes are really «pre-connected» even after replacing them. The owner does not need to look for the batteries or electrode pads for CardiAid, and solutions for testing their AEDs. The owner only contacts CardiAid Service Provider when CardiAid warns that it needs maintenance.
