One home defibrillator for the whole family

Ready for grown-ups and children alike, placed with little ones in mind, and checked every day so it stays off the family to-do list.

For families with young children

Made for a busy family home

Family life is full enough already. A defibrillator should be ready for everyone at home, children included, then stay quietly out of the way, reporting to us each day.

There are young children at home

Ready for your children, too

It can be used on adults and children, with one press for paediatric mode. We show you how it works at the set-up visit.

The to-do list is already packed

Nothing new to keep track of

Its battery, pads and electronics are checked daily, with every result sent to us. We replace the pads when they expire.

Little hands get into everything

Placed with children in mind

We choose the spot with you when we visit: quick for an adult to reach, and sensible with small children running around.

Grandparents and sitters drop in

Easy for any adult in charge

A grandparent or a babysitter can use it with no medical knowledge, because it talks them through every step as they go.

Set-up, daily monitoring and pad replacement come with Complete Protection and rental. Buying outright? It is delivered to your door, without set-up or monitoring.

98%are in adults

Cardiac arrest in children is rare: 98% of cardiac arrests outside hospital are in adults. A family defibrillator is mostly about the grown-ups in the house, and one press switches it to child mode for the little ones.

For parents

Prepared, not worried

A defibrillator at home is not about expecting anything to happen to your family. It is the same kind of precaution as a smoke alarm, set up properly and looked after by us.

What it is

  • Part of a well-prepared home

    It belongs with the fire blanket and first-aid kit: kept ready and hopefully never used.

  • It will only shock if needed

    It reads the heart rhythm by itself, so nobody at home ever has to decide about a shock.

  • Simple to ask us about first

    Got questions about children, placement or price? Ask us and we will answer them simply.

What it is not

  • A substitute for calling 999

    You always call 999 first. It is there for those minutes while help is heading your way.

  • Something for anyone to fear

    After it is set up, family life goes on as before, and most days nobody even notices it.

  • Hard to fit into family life

    We book the set-up for a time that fits around the school run, work and everything else.
