AED vs Hospital Defibrillator — what’s the real difference? 🤔

They’re built for completely different people.

🟢 AED (Automated External Defibrillator)
Designed for anyone to use.
It talks you through the process, checks the heart rhythm, and only delivers a shock if it’s needed.
No training. No panic. Just follow the prompts.

🔵 Manual / Hospital Defibrillator (like the i6)
Used by trained professionals like paramedics and doctors.
It includes advanced monitoring (ECG, oxygen, BP), and functions like pacing.

💡 But here’s something interesting…
The i6 actually includes an AED mode as well, meaning professionals can switch to a guided, automatic function when needed — combining advanced care with life-saving simplicity.

⚡ The difference comes down to this:
AEDs are made for the public.
Manual defibs are made for professionals.
And in a real emergency… the first person on scene is usually not a doctor.

👉 That’s why having an AED nearby can make all the difference.

🌍 Equip your space. Be ready when it counts.

🚨 Cardiac Arrest vs Heart Attack — do you know the difference?
These two emergencies are often confused, but understanding the difference can save a life.

❤️ Heart Attack
A circulation problem — blood flow to the heart muscle is blocked.
The heart is usually still beating, but the muscle is being damaged.

⚡ Cardiac Arrest
An electrical problem — the heart suddenly stops beating effectively.
The person collapses, becomes unresponsive, and stops breathing normally.

⏱️ Every second counts.
Without immediate action, survival chances drop rapidly.
That’s where CPR and an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) come in.
An AED can analyse the heart rhythm and deliver a shock if needed to help restart the heart.

💚 At AED South Africa, we focus on giving rescuers the best possible chance when it matters most.
That’s why our AEDs can escalate up to 360J biphasic — because not every cardiac arrest responds the same way.

⚠️ Important:
A heart attack can sometimes lead to cardiac arrest — and when that happens, having access to an AED can make all the difference.

💬 Quick scenario:
Someone collapses suddenly, is unresponsive, and not breathing normally…

⚡ Why AED Pad Placement Matters!

For defibrillation to work, the electrical shock must travel through the heart muscle.

Correct pad placement creates that pathway — giving the best chance of restoring a normal rhythm.

✔ Adult placement:
Upper right chest & lower left side (below the armpit)
✔ Pediatric placement:
One pad on the chest and one on the back
✅ Dual Mode Pads – Designed for Simplicity
At AED South Africa, our dual mode pads are designed to make saving a life as simple as possible:
✔ Clear visual diagrams for adult & pediatric use
✔ No guesswork — placement shown directly on the pads
✔ One set of pads for both adults and children
When every second counts, simplicity saves lives.

💬 Quick question:
Why do children require one pad on the front and one on the back, instead of the same placement as adults?

Back to School. Back to What Matters.
Tomorrow, thousands of children walk back through school gates 🎒
New lessons. New friendships. New memories in the making.

While we prepare them with books and backpacks, it’s just as important to prepare the spaces where they learn and play.
In a medical emergency, seconds matter.
Knowing where the nearest Automated External Defibrillator is can make the difference between life and loss.

A prepared school is a safer school.
Because every child deserves a place where care, readiness, and life come first.
