Powerheart® AEDs use the same pads and batteries (with the exception of H00038 and H00039).

STAR® biphasic defibrillation energy waveform technology

There are a number of ways an AED can deliver a defibrillation shock. Some AEDs provide the same level of energy each time a shock is delivered. Other AEDs deliver higher levels of energy with each shock, but still administer the same energy level for every patient. Cardiac Science believes no two patients are alike. That's why Cardiac Science introduced the proprietary STAR® biphasic defibrillation energy waveform, providing escalating biphasic energy and customised, variable energy

.

Rescue Ready® technology

Cardiac Science’s Rescue Ready® technology distinguishes them from their competitors.

· Every day, to ensure anytime functionality, the AED self checks all main components (battery, hardware, software, and pads)

· Every week, the AED completes a partial charge of the high-voltage electronics

· Every month, the AED charges the high-voltage electronics to full energy.

If anything is amiss, the Rescue Ready® status indicator on the handle changes from green to red and the device will emit an audible alert to prompt the user to service the unit. In summary, a Powerheart AED is Rescue Ready® when a life depends on it.

RHYTHMx™ technology - makes hard decisions fast

The RHYTHMx™ technology offers the most advanced, smartest software analysis algorithm in the industry. The RHYTHMx™ technology is the intelligence behind the Cardiac Science's Powerheart hospital and public access defibrillation products, and is designed to continuously monitor, detect, and advise defibrillation therapy to treat cardiac arrhythmias.

· Specificity and sensitivity - clinical results with the RHYTHMx™ technology demonstrated 100% sensitivity (correct identification of shockable rhythms) and 99.4% specificity (correct identification of non-shockable rhythms)

· RHYTHMx™ technology differentiates between shockable life-threatening cardiac rhythms such as ventricular arrhythmias (VT/VF) and supraventricular tachyarrhythmia’s (SVT), plus distinguishes non-shockable cardiac arrhythmia events

· Non-committed device - if the RHYTHMx™ technology detects a shockable rhythm and charges, but recognises a rhythm change, the device automatically disarms, informs the user that that the rhythm has changed, and reanalyses the patient's heart rhythm

· Post-resuscitation monitoring - RHYTHMx™ technology continues to monitor the patient's heart rhythm post resuscitation, to instantly detect the reoccurrence of a life-threatening arrhythmia. If cardiac arrest recurs, the device will charge automatically and advise the operator to deliver a defibrillation shock

· Synchronised shock - RHYTHMx™ technology automatically synchronises shock delivery whenever possible to the patient's electrocardiogram R-wave. If unable to synchronise it will deliver an unsynchronised shock.

· Synchronisation of a defibrillation shock has been shown to be more effective in converting patients out of life threatening arrhythmias

· RHYTHMx™ technology that allows a medical director or physician to pre-program detection rates for shockable cardiac arrhythmias such as VF, VT and SVT

· Non-committed shock, pacemaker detection, and synchronised shock features

About us

Hygiene First Limited is a family business which was established in January 1995, and incorporated as a limited company in November 1997. As a supplier to the Food Processing industry in the UK the original core business consisted of a wide range of disposable protective clothing that is still imported from carefully inspected suppliers in the Far East. More recently the product range has been substantially extended to include first aid supplies janitorial products, PPE, safety footwear, and outdoor clothing. The Company is large enough to handle the most demanding of annual contracts, and yet small enough to care about the details that matter.

Many of our products tend to be undifferentiated in the market place, however by supplying quality products in a cost effective manner, the Company has been able to set itself apart from our competitors by consistently delivering exceptional customer service. This has been achieved by following three key strategies:

• Customer Service
  The Company prides itself upon its customer service record. It has a distribution centre / warehouse on site. Local deliveries are made in the Company's own vehicles. The rest of the country is served by a national, next day parcel carrier service or 24/72 hour palletised delivery. These arrangements combined with extensive stocks facilitate rapid response to customer requirements. Our paperwork is accurate and simple to understand. We do not part ship orders unless our customer specifically requests it.
  
  
• Quality
  Our policy has always been to provide the highest product and service quality, consistent with use within the food industry. We operate to the British, European, and International standards for Quality Systems, viz. BS/EN/ISO9000. Our original certification by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance Ltd. Was gained in November 1998, and was upgraded to the ISO9000/2000 in December 2004. This new standard includes a commitment to continuous improvement, particularly in customer service.
  
  
• Supply Chain Policy
  Where possible our products are bought from approved original manufacturers and sold directly to end users throughout the United Kingdom, thus reducing the supply chain and enabling cost benefits to be passed to our customers.

The Importance of Biohazard Kits in the Workplace

It almost sounds like something out of a science fiction movie but the reality is that biohazard kits should be in place where you work just like a mandatory first aid kit. And hopefully you'll never have to use biohazard kits but just in case, you should know exactly the proper procedures in their application and most importantly how to protect yourself.

One of the most common biohazard kits is what is called the single application kit. Just as the name states, it's used once and then properly disposed of. These single application kits are designed for only one purpose, and that is to safely remove and then disinfect any area that becomes contaminated with a persons bodily fluids. Ok, here comes the queasy part. Bodily fluids meaning blood, vomit and urine. Now if you're reading this with just a bit of the feeling that it can never happen around you, let's take a look at a scenario and maybe you'll think a bit differently.

You're at work and the person next to you complains of illness. All of a sudden they stand and start leaving but never make it, instead they pass out, fall and hit their head and start bleeding. You now have a biological hazard in your presence. In many large organizations there are people who have the responsibility of dealing with such hazards. But that may not be the case in a lot of smaller businesses. Hopefully you have been trained in the use of the biohazard kits. After securing the area and getting this person medical attention, it's now time to use the kit for what it was intended for.

All kits contain an impervious apron, put it on. Also don the mask and the gloves that are furnished in the kit. Remember, you are protecting yourself first and foremost. Each kit will also contain a quantity of super absorbent granules. Apply these first. Then use the supplied scraper and scooper to collect and put in the supplied biohazard disposal bag. All biohazard kits will also contain a quantity of disinfectant spray to spray the area that you just cleaned. When finished, remove your apron, your mask and lastly your gloves and place all these items in the disposal bag and secure it with the tie that is provided in the kit. Voila, you just dealt with your first biological hazard that could occur in your workplace.

Granted, that really is an oversimplification but hopefully you have a better understanding of why having biohazard kits in the workplace is an absolute must.
