Defibrillators & Accessories
Lifesaving Solutions for Every Workplace
Every second counts in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), where access to a defibrillator (AED) can mean the difference between life and death. Our Defibrillators & Accessories category offers a range of trusted devices and complementary products to ensure your workplace is fully equipped to respond to emergencies. With reliable, user-friendly AEDs from brands like Schiller, you’ll find solutions designed to maximise survival chances when time is critical.
Explore the full range below and give your team the confidence to act when it matters most.
Why Are Defibrillators Essential?
A sudden cardiac arrest can strike anyone, anywhere, at any time. Without immediate intervention, the survival rate decreases by 10% with every passing minute. Early defibrillation and high-quality CPR are the key links in the chain of survival, doubling or even tripling survival rates.
Whether you operate in an office, construction site, manufacturing facility, or public venue, having an AED on-site ensures you are ready to act in critical moments. Our defibrillators are simple to use, even for those with minimal training, providing voice and visual prompts to guide users through the process confidently.

FAQs – Defibrillators & Accessories
What is a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)?
A sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) occurs when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood effectively due to an irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia). It is a medical emergency that, if untreated, can lead to death within minutes.
How does SCA differ from a heart attack?
While often confused, SCA and heart attacks are different conditions:
- SCA: Caused by an electrical malfunction in the heart, leading to chaotic rhythms and sudden loss of heart function, consciousness, and breathing. Immediate defibrillation and CPR are critical to survival.
- Heart Attack: Caused by a blockage in the blood flow to the heart muscle. The heart usually continues to beat, but delayed treatment can lead to complications, including SCA.
What is a defibrillator (AED)?
A defibrillator is a device that delivers a high-energy electric shock to the heart of someone in cardiac arrest. This process, called defibrillation, helps restore a normal heart rhythm and is a critical step in the chain of survival.
What’s the difference between semi-automatic and fully automatic AEDs?
- Semi-automatic AEDs require the user to press a button to deliver the shock when prompted. This gives the user control and ensures no one is touching the patient during the shock.
- Fully automatic AEDs deliver the shock automatically without user input, making them ideal for untrained users or public spaces.
Both are safe, effective, and easy to use, even with minimal training.
Why is CPR important when using an AED?
CPR is essential to maintaining circulation and oxygen flow to the brain and organs. Combined with defibrillation, CPR can double or triple survival rates. AEDs with real-time CPR feedback improve compression quality by guiding users with prompts such as “push harder” or “maintain good compressions.”
Do I need training to use an AED?
No formal training is required to use an AED, as devices provide voice and visual prompts to guide users. However, basic CPR and AED training can significantly improve confidence and response times in emergencies.
How do AEDs help users administer high-quality CPR?
Many AEDs include features like audible metronomes and real-time CPR feedback. These guide users to perform chest compressions at the correct rate and depth, increasing the likelihood of survival.
What is the recommended maintenance for AEDs?
AEDs require minimal maintenance but should be inspected regularly to ensure they are operational. Components such as batteries and electrode pads need to be replaced periodically. Some AEDs also support remote monitoring for added convenience.
What environments are AEDs suitable for?
Schiller’s Fully Automatic Defibrillator is built for various environments, including:
- Offices and schools: Compact, user-friendly designs.
- Construction sites: Devices with high IP ratings for durability against dust and water.
- Public spaces: Highly visible AED cabinets and signs for easy accessibility.
How quickly should an AED be used in cardiac arrest?
Defibrillation should be administered as soon as possible. For every minute without defibrillation, survival chances decrease by 10%.
What does the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) say about AEDs?
While the HSE doesn’t mandate AEDs, it strongly encourages their inclusion in workplace first aid provisions, especially in high-risk environments. Employers are responsible for ensuring adequate first aid resources under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.
What additional accessories are available for AEDs?
We offer a wide range of accessories to complement AEDs, including:
- Alarmed AED cabinets for secure, visible storage.
- Responder kits with gloves, razors, and shears.
- Wall brackets and signage for accessibility and awareness.
