Why Cardiac Science AEDs?
Five reasons to choose a Powerheart
®
AED
PATENTED RESCUE READY® TECHNOLOGY
Powerheart AEDs perform automatic daily, weekly, and monthly self-tests to monitor
critical components including the internal circuitry, software, and medical-grade battery
for readiness; the pre-connected debrillation pads are also tested for both presence and
functionality. If anything is amiss, the Rescue Ready indicator immediately changes from
green to red and emits an audible distress tone to cue users that attention is required.
EASY WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Extensive rescue and CPR prompts guide rst-time rescuers through the stressful situation.
Our innovative RescueCoach™ technology, backed by research,
2
guides rst-time responders
through the entire rescue process. And it delivers the condence to perform a rescue.
The fully automatic shock delivery feature eliminates user hesitation.

ADVANCED PATIENT CARE
Each Powerheart AED includes patented RHYTHMx® technology to assess the patient’s heart
rhythm. Sophisticated STAR® biphasic technology delivers a customized shock at an appropriate
energy level.
FLEXIBILITY AND DURABILITY
Powerheart AEDs are designed to be tough and have been deployed in the most challenging
settings. The high-impact AED meets rugged military standards and a high ingress protection
rating (IP55) against water and dust. The Powerheart G5 lets you choose from an array of
prompt settings, shock protocols, and CPR settings to meet specic requirements.
THE PEACE OF MIND IN WORKING WITH CARDIAC SCIENCE
For more than 20 years, Cardiac Science has developed patented technologies such as
fully automatic AED operation, pre-connected pads, and many other innovations that shape
how rst responders use AEDs to save lives. Each Powerheart is supported by an experienced
global sta of AED Certied Specialists and a team of select partners to provide expert
deployment consultations and training. Finally, Powerheart AEDs are built to last with a multi -
year device warranty program, the industry’s strongest indemnication policy, and a 4-year
full operational guarantee on genuine Intellisense® non-rechargeable medical-grade batteries.

SCA Survivor: Lt. Regis Thimons
A fellow ocer found Lieutenant Regis Thimons
in the restroom – unresponsive, no pulse, in a
pool of blood from where his head had hit the
oor. He had collapsed from SCA. Quick-thinking
ocers began chest compressions and located
a Powerheart AED. He received four shocks, and
his pulse returned by the time paramedics arrived.
The availability of the AED that saved his life is
the product of years of preparation – for which
Thimons himself is largely responsible. Years
earlier, Thimons worked with HeartReach
Michiana, an organization that purchases and
distributes AEDs as part of its non-prot
mission, to equip his department’s patrol
vehicles, the county jail, and the courthouse
with AEDs.
“ If it wasn’t for one of these devices,
I probably wouldn’t be here today.”
– Lt. Regis Thimons
