The Only Treatment for SCA |
80% of sudden cardiac arrest is caused by the arrhythmia called ventricular fibrillation (VF). The only treatment of this arrhythmia is giving an electroshock, i.e. defibrillation. |
|
High Security |
CardiAid is designed to provide the highest level of safety for the patient and the user. CardiAid performs self-check daily, monthly and when the cover of the device is opened. This function enables CardiAid to be in-use without a problem whenever needed.

|
High Increase of Survival |
Without defibrillation, only 5% of the SCA victims are reported to survive. CardiAid can increase this rate up to 90% if trated early enough. |
|
High Sensitivity & Specificity |
CardiAid has the optimum combination of sensitivity and specificity. Both sensitivity (to be able to detect a rhythm that should be defibrillated) and specificity (to be able to recommend not shocking when defibrillation is not required) of CardiAid are above standards. |
|
CPR is not enough |
SCA can only be treated by defibrillation. CPR only aimes to give time until CardiAid AED or an ambulance arrives. It is used to support the defibrillation. So, CPR is not enough for treating SCA. |
|
Easy to Use |
CardiAid directs the user with clear verbal and visual instructions from the beginning to the end of the whole process, including instructions reminding the user to call the emergency number and assisting the user through the reanimation process. With these clear instructions, CardiAid assures that the user follows all the necessary steps which are critical for the patient.
CardiAid has a design aimed to achieve simplicity which is very improtant for the user in a moment of emergency. CardiAid is designed to assist the user with both pictures, flashing lights of different colours and sound at the same time, thus maximizing the performance. The pictures are simple and explanatory, the flashing lights are designed to emphasize the pictures and buttons, with white flashing light showing the stage of the process and red flashing light only indicating the shock button. The status indicator lights burn with universal colours: green and red, showing if there is any problem with the device, or not. |
