Lansdown Tennis Squash and Croquet Club, Bath invested in a HeartSafe® grab hook package in 2013. Their choice of the defibrillator was a HeartSine samaritan® PAD 500P. HeartSafe® demonstrated the advanced ICG technology providing the user with accurate feedback on the CPR being given. Voice prompts instructed, “push harder, faster, slower”. This was to prove a huge benefit when the 56-year old man went into a cardiac arrest during a workout. The defibrillator gave 3 shocks and good quality CPR was provided by those assisting and full recovery took place in a hospital.
As part of HeartSine’s Forward Hearts Campaign, a free defibrillator was donated to the Club who then gave it to the gentleman who survived the SCA for him to place in a locality of his choice. Over many years HeartSine has given out hundreds of free defibrillators to survivors of SCAs. Click here to read Forward Hearts Campaign information.
