Unfortunately, there is currently no nationwide, comprehensive funding for defibrillators. Funding opportunities are usually country-specific or limited to a region. It is therefore worth finding out about possible funding programs in the respective region before purchasing an AED.
1. Municipal funding programmes
Many cities (such as Verden) and municipalities offer funding programs to help public institutions, clubs and companies purchase defibrillators. It is worth asking your local city administration or district office whether such programs exist.
2. Funding from health insurance companies
Some health insurance companies support the purchase of defibrillators as part of their prevention programs. This support can either be in the form of financial subsidies or by providing devices. It is advisable to ask the health insurance companies directly.
3. Funding programs of the federal states
Some federal states, such as Bavaria, have special funding programs to support the purchase of defibrillators, especially for schools, sports clubs and public institutions. Information about this can be found on the websites of the respective state governments.
4. Foundations and non-profit organizations
There are numerous foundations and non-profit organizations that support projects to improve public health and safety. These organizations often offer financial assistance or donations for the purchase of AEDs. Examples include the Björn Steiger Foundation and the German Heart Foundation.
5. Funding for clubs
Sports clubs and other non-profit organizations can often apply for funding to purchase defibrillators. These funds can be provided by the respective state sports associations or other sports organizations.
6. Professional associations
The professional association for the construction industry (BG BAU) supports the purchase of defibrillators for companies and construction sites. The subsidy amounts to 50% of the purchase costs, up to a maximum of €700 per AED. The prerequisite is that the company or construction site meets the requirements for occupational safety premiums.

Bystander defibrillators, also known as automated external defibrillators (AEDs), are portable medical devices designed to help treat sudden cardiac arrest outside of the hospital. Unlike professional defibrillators, which are often used in medical facilities by trained personnel, bystander defibrillators are designed to be operated by anyone, especially those without medical training.
Our offered defibrillators are easy to use and come with voice or visual instructions that guide the user through the entire process, from placing the electrodes on the patient's body to delivering the shock if necessary. They automatically analyze the patient's heart rhythm and deliver a shock only when it is actually needed.
Similar to fire extinguishers, lay defibrillators must be installed wherever family members, friends, employees, guests, customers, patients, members and students are located to provide immediate help in an emergency before professional medical help arrives. The immediate availability (max. 3-5 minutes) and use of AEDs leads to a significantly higher survival rate.
Defibrillators differ according to their type, functionality and area of application.
The defibrillators we offer are specially designed for laypersons and are a life-saving addition to first aid equipment.
A layperson AED is designed to be easy to use and does not require any medical training.
A defibrillator is used when a person is unconscious and has no signs of life.
Sudden cardiac arrest is usually the result of a fatal cardiac arrhythmia. The purpose of a defibrillator is to bring the heart back into a normal rhythm by delivering a controlled electric shock.
Typically, a defibrillator is used in ventricular fibrillation:
This is the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest, a life-threatening condition in which the heart suddenly begins to fibrillate in an uncoordinated manner. In such cases, a defibrillator can be used to deliver an electric shock and bring the heart back to a normal rhythm.
Sudden cardiac death occurs when the heart stops pumping and stops ejecting blood (cardiac arrest). This can occur for a variety of reasons, including:
Ventricular fibrillation is a life-threatening heart rhythm disorder in which the heart's chambers twitch rapidly and in an uncoordinated manner instead of beating in sync. This means that the heart no longer has an effective pumping function and blood is not circulating throughout the body. Ventricular fibrillation is equivalent to sudden cardiac arrest and leads to circulatory arrest. There are several causes of ventricular fibrillation, including:
Citizens Save Lives Association is an initiative that aims to promote public education about life-saving measures and increase the availability of life-saving devices such as automated external defibrillators (AEDs). This initiative encourages citizens to actively participate in the resuscitation of people who suffer sudden cardiac arrest, thus helping to improve the chances of survival in emergency situations.
There are numerous app providers, but they only show regional defibrillator locations. The problem is that visitors or guests from abroad have no idea which app is the right one for the environment they are in. However, Citizens Save Lives has developed an app (CISALI) that operates globally, is manufacturer-independent and free of charge. In addition, the app offers additional functions such as
e.g. emergency numbers or the activation of first responders.
The goals of Citizens Save Lives include:
Education and training: The initiative aims to educate the public on the importance of resuscitation and the use of AEDs. This includes providing training and information on proper resuscitation procedures and the use of an AED.
By promoting knowledge, training and availability of life-saving measures, Citizens Save Lives helps ensure that citizens are better prepared to act quickly and effectively in an emergency and save lives. The initiative plays an important role in creating a crisis-resilient and life-saving society.
HeartSine defibrillators have several features that make them a preferred choice for life-saving defibrillation in emergency situations. Here are some of the outstanding features that make HeartSine defibrillators stand out:
The new generation of first aid defibrillators from Primedic Germany was specially developed and optimized for a broad population group with different levels of user knowledge. Children (> 1 year) and adults can be saved effectively and efficiently from sudden cardiac death. The very simple, safe and intuitive operation guarantees that even untrained first aiders are able to save lives.
Any electric shock required is triggered by pressing the shock button on the HeartSave Y and automatically on the HeartSave YA.
