A rural home defibrillator, never a drive away

If the nearest public defibrillator is miles away, it makes sense to have your own in the house. We come to you to set it up, and it reports its daily check over the mobile network, so no broadband is needed.

For homes in the countryside

The nearest defibrillator, in your own home

Out here, help is rarely round the corner. A defibrillator in your own house should be ready for everyone who lives and works there, and we keep an eye on it so you never have to.

The nearest one could be a way off

No one has to fetch it first

Public defibrillators are often at the village hall or the pub. Yours is in the house, within reach of everyone who lives there.

An ambulance has further to travel

Already there while you wait

You call 999 first. Then, down a long track or out on a farm, it is right there in your house while the ambulance makes its way.

Broadband can be a bit patchy here

No Wi-Fi or broadband needed

It reports its daily check over the mobile network, not your broadband. We check the signal where it will sit when we set it up.

Every home is laid out differently

Placed to suit your property

We visit in person and choose the right place with you, whether that is the farmhouse kitchen or the hallway near the back door.

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.

100,000+public defibrillators

More than 100,000 public-access defibrillators are on the UK’s national register. They are kept in public places, so out here the nearest one can be a drive away. Yours would be in the house.

Living further out

Alongside 999, never instead of it

A defibrillator at home does not replace the ambulance, and you always call 999 first. It simply means one is within reach in your own home, rather than a drive away.

What it is

  • Sensible for a home out here

    Kept in the house like the fire extinguisher by the back door, and hopefully never used.

  • Simple for all the household

    It talks you through every step and only delivers a shock if the heart rhythm needs one.

  • Easy to talk over beforehand

    Unsure where it should go or which option suits you? Ask us and we will talk it through.

What it is not

  • Something to test or service

    No app and no routine test to remember. It checks itself daily, and we replace the pads.

  • A sign something is expected

    Like the torch you keep for power cuts, it is a precaution. Most days it goes unnoticed.

  • Only for adults in the house

    It can be used on adults and children, so it is ready for anyone who lives in the house.
