It is a practical step alongside their medical care, and just as sensible if there is a family history of sudden cardiac arrest. We set it up with you, and after that it checks itself every day.
Living with a heart condition
When someone at home has a heart condition, the household already runs around it: clinic appointments, daily medication, check-ups and the worry in between. A defibrillator should add readiness, not another job, so we look after it for you.
Clinic visits and check-ups fill the diary
It checks its own battery, pads and electronics every day and reports to us. We follow up any missed check and replace the pads at expiry.
The person affected cannot help themselves
We set it up in person with the people usually at home, a partner, grown-up children or a carer, and it guides them through it on the day.
Some heart conditions run through families
It can be used on adults and children, so if a condition runs in your family it is ready for everyone under the roof, not just one person.
An ambulance can take minutes to reach you
No searching for a public cabinet or running to a neighbour. You call 999 first, and it is within reach while the ambulance is on its way.
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.
Ambulances are quick. In England they typically reach a cardiac arrest in about seven minutes. A defibrillator at home is there for those seven minutes.

In plain terms
A defibrillator does not treat or prevent a heart condition, and it is not a substitute for advice from your doctor or specialist. It is there in case it is ever needed.
What it is
Like a smoke alarm or a first-aid kit: there, looked after, and with any luck never used.
It talks anyone through every step, and only gives a shock if the heart rhythm needs one.
Unsure whether it is right for your household? Ask us. Clear answers, no pressure at all.
What it is not
Appointments, medication and check-ups carry on, just as their doctor or specialist says.
Having one is simply a precaution, not a prediction. The hope is that it is never opened.
It stays where we placed it, out of the way. We check it daily, so nobody at home has to.
Tell us who is usually at home. We can then talk through the options with you and find a sensible place to keep it.
