DefibsPlus is an Australian business passionate about saving lives. Recently, we’ve expanded our community to our neighbours in New Zealand to launch the CellAED^® – an innovative world-first in AED technology.

We’re on a mission to make defibrillators as common sense and commonplace in homes and community spaces as seatbelts are in vehicles.

You can contact our head office in Australia by calling info@defibsplus.com.au or by completing the enquiry form here.
For our New Zealand based team, please visit https://www.defibsplus.co.nz or email info@defibsplus.co.nz and one of our team will get back to you.

SCA or sudden cardiac arrest is an electrical problem in the heart. The nervous system controls the heart and cardiovascular system by sending electrical pulses to the muscles. If there is a problem with that pulse, the message isn’t received by the heart, and the ventricles start to quiver erratically (known as fibrillation) rather than pump as they usually would. This means that no oxygenated blood can get to your tissue and organs, causing cells in the brain and body to start dying. If this isn’t restored very quickly, the patient will die or experience severe brain and organ damage, making this a very serious medical emergency.

An Automatic External Defibrillator is a life-saving device used to treat Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

Must only be used on a person who is unresponsive and not breathing normally. The Rescuer commences CPR until an AED is applied, so that a shock can be delivered if necessary. Using an AED can increase the survival rate of Cardiac Arrest.

AEDs can accurately identify the cardiac rhythm as “shockable” or “unshockable”.

Turn the machine on and follow the verbal prompts as communicated from the AED in use.

No. In accordance to the resuscitation guidelines, “using the AED should not be restricted to trained personnel”

Rescuers should be careful not to touch the patient during shock delivery.

Yes. An AED can and should be used on a pregnant woman who is in cardiac arrest.

Yes. Ensure you place the pads off to the side of the pacemaker, ensuring that the heart remains in between the pads.

No, just make sure that there is no jewellery / metal connecting between the pads.

Yes, however, you need to remove the patient from the water and towel off the patient to ensure the pads will stick.

Yes, some AEDs have paediatric pads which are smaller and can be placed as per instructions. If there are no paediatric pads available you can use the adult pads on larger children. For smaller children and babies you can place theses pads front and back, keeping the heart in a direct line between the pads.

If the patient is very hairy, you should quickly cut the hair with scissors or a razor on the area where the pads need to be applied.
