The best way of increasing a person's chance of saving victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is to follow the Cardiac Chain of Survival:

• Early Access to 9-1-1
• Early CPR
• Early Defibrillation
• Early Advanced Care

The Cardiac Science Powerheart AED G3 Plus works with rescuers to provide complete care while providing care for patients.

Rescue Ready® Technology

The Powerheart AED G3 Plus features a regimen of self-tests to ensure the unit is always ready to perform when you need it the most. The self-tests include:

• Daily check of main components (battery, hardware, software and pads)
• Performs a partial charge of the high-voltage electronics each week
• Performs a full charge of the high-voltage electronics each month

RescueCoach™

The Powerheart G3 Plus AED also includes coaching prompts for the rescuer. The unit helps the rescuer to complete all of the steps included in the Cardiac Chain of Survival and to provide effective CPR until EMS arrives on the scene.

In addition, the unit has a text screen display that runs text prompts in tandem with the voice prompts being delivered by the unit.

Additional Features:

Each Cardiac Science unit includes two sets of rescue pads and a rescue ready kit, which includes disposable gloves, razor, scissors, towel, gauze, antiseptic wipes and a CPR mask.
