Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. That's why it's essential that defibrillators are always available and kept in a visible location.
Defibrillators must be present in all places where there are large numbers of people: in shopping centers, train stations, airports, sports facilities, schools and workplaces. They also ensure safety in residential areas and public buildings. Clearly visible placement and clear signage ensure that no time is lost in an emergency.
All defibrillators are subject to certain storage and usage conditions and must therefore be stored accordingly. Storage indoors is not a problem and there is a large selection of storage containers. If the defibrillator is stored outdoors, the wall box must be heated in winter and ventilated in summer. Temperatures outside the permitted limits recommended by the manufacturer cause problems with the electrode gel and/or the battery! Make sure the wall box manufacturer offers a guarantee to ensure the defibrillator's functionality.
By making defibrillators available at all times and in all places and keeping them visible, we are making a decisive contribution to saving lives. Their presence is a sign of care and a sense of responsibility towards the community. Let us work together to ensure that life-saving measures are possible at all times and in all places - because every moment counts!

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 restore the heart to 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.
