HEARTSINE Samaritan 500P Semi-Automatic Defibrillator (CPR Advisor)

The HeartSine 500P (samaritan PAD 500P) is the only defibrillator in the Samaritan range with CPR Advisor — real-time feedback telling the rescuer whether their chest compressions are deep enough and fast enough, while they are giving them. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, and survival falls with every minute that passes without treatment. That is why a public access defibrillator has to work for whoever is standing there, trained or not. 8-year warranty.

Why choose the HeartSine 500P?

Most defibrillators tell a rescuer when to shock. The HeartSine 500P also tells them how they are doing in between — and compression quality is what actually circulates blood to the brain between shocks. Poor compressions are the most common failure in a real resuscitation, and they are invisible to the person giving them without feedback.

The second reason to choose it is running cost. Battery and electrodes come as a single Pad-Pak cartridge with a 4-year life from manufacture. After an event you replace one part and have a brand-new battery for the next one — rather than tracking two consumables with different expiry dates and discovering at the worst moment that only one was replaced.

If your site has trained first aiders and you want them coached through the compressions, the HeartSine 500P is the model to buy. If cost matters more than coaching, the 350P has the same clinical capability without CPR Advisor.
