Handy Traveler Asset
Easy to use and worth price. I got it for ease of access of long trips outside the US, i.e., Philippines, Thailand, France, etc, where medical help is available but may be delayed. It solves initial help factor until professional medical assistance is needed. Can be easily packed in suitcase (battery removed) or as carry-on. Easy to train someone with limited English. Only drawback? It’s only in English.

Keep a razor handy
I bought this to keep in my home and take on trips to areas that there is not a close hospital. It comes with a video on how to set it up and use it, I highly recommend that you watch it. It also come with some coupons for CPR classes.Make sure you keep a razor with your AED. This was recommended to me by a family member who is an athletic trainer. A hairy chest can prevent the AED pads from properly attaching and could cause an incorrect reading of the heart rhythm. The area doesn’t have to be completely bare of hair, just remove ass much as you can quickly (remember time I important). The razor should be used dry, don’t use anything to lubricate while shaving. It’s also a good idea to have a CPR mask, disposable gloves, and clothes cutting scissors.Something else to note. The AED runs a self check every 24 hours. During the self check it will make a few clicks and the LED will turn solid green. This is normal. I keep mine in the bedroom and the first time mine did a self check was at night and I though something was wrong with it.It wasn’t cheap but it does make me feel better to have it and hopefully I never actually have to use it.

AED saved my life
This is an Atlanta Fox News story about my cardiac arrest and the use of the AED. It is well worth watching the related video and it will answer many of your questions. There is enough information in this article to google for the video link. All the best to you and yours. KenATLANTA -What would you do if someone’s life rested in your hands? Fortunately for Ken Esmark, his coworkers at WebMD jumped into action.Esmark, WebMD’s Director of Web Services, was 21 floors up, sitting in a meeting, when his heart suddenly stopped.”The last thing I remember is I was talking to them… And then it was lights out. There was no pain, there was nothing,” Esmark said.The 62-year-old father of four, and grandfather, with no history of heart disease, was in sudden cardiac arrest.”Basically, he was dead when we found him. His mouth was foaming, he was completely unresponsive, nothing was going on,” said Dr. Michael Smith.The only way to save Ken was to use an AED to shock his heart back into a normal rhythm. WebMD had put one in on Ken’s floor a year ago, but Ken’s boss Dr. Michael Smith, an internist, hadn’t used a defibrillator in years.”It’s just, you know, that this is someone’s life. You have to save this person’s life. For him, for his family,” Smith said.Smith grabbed the AED.”Put it on, walked us through it. We did end up shocking him, did CPR chest compressions for about 45 seconds,” Smith said.”I woke up on the floor and there was an EMT next to me and he was putting an oxygen mask on me,” said Esmark. “And then he said, ‘Can you stand up?’ I said, ‘Sure!'”Later in the emergency room, “The doctor came over to me, and she said to me, ‘This is the worst day of your life, but it’s also the best.’ She said, ‘You had cardiac arrest, but people generally don’t make it.’ And she said, ‘And you’re in really good shape.'” said Esmark.Many of Ken’s coworkers are now taking an AED refresher course.”Even though people had AED training, it was a little scary,” Smith said.But if you step in and render emergency assistance, Georgia’s Good Samaritan law will protect you from being sued if something goes wrong.And what happened has changed both men.”The things that were important to me the day before? They weren’t so important anymore,” Esmark said.”Whenever I go into a community place, I look for the AED. I was at the airport the other day, walking down the terminal, I’m looking at where all the AED’s are because now I realize, it could happen,” Smith said.If you’re worried you would freeze in an emergency like this, the AED has a computerized voice that will tell you what to do step by step.Esmark had an electrical problem with his heart that he’s probably had all of his life. He now has an implanted defibrillator.Eight days after his sudden cardiac arrest, he was back at work at WebMD.

Best purchase ever!
I bought this after my wife was having cardio problems as a piece of mind to have it in our house. Today it saved my wife’s life! It was very easy to use. Turns on automatically when you remove the pads. The voice commands were very clear and easy to understand to use. Ended up shocking my wife twice and got her heart going again. She survived a scad heart attack because of this device. Was worth every penny!
