Defibrillators & AEDs in Mauritius
Available Defibrillators & AEDs Models

Defibrillators are critical medical devices designed to restore a normal heart rhythm through the application of electrical therapy. In the context of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), the heart can enter chaotic rhythms like ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT), which prevent it from effectively pumping blood. Defibrillators deliver a controlled electrical shock to depolarize a critical mass of myocardial cells simultaneously, interrupting the chaotic electrical activity and allowing the heart's natural pacemaker to regain control. Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are a user-friendly subset of defibrillators, specifically designed for public access and operation by lay rescuers. They incorporate advanced algorithms to analyze the patient's heart rhythm and advise the rescuer whether a shock is necessary, providing clear, voice-guided prompts for ease of use.

The primary function of both defibrillators and AEDs is to treat life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias that lead to SCA. Prompt defibrillation significantly increases the chances of survival when administered quickly. These devices are indispensable in settings where rapid intervention is paramount.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) can strike anyone, anywhere, at any time. In Mauritius, having readily accessible defibrillators and Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) is crucial for facilities where the risk of SCA is higher or where immediate intervention can significantly improve patient outcomes. From large public and private teaching hospitals to smaller, specialized clinics, a proactive approach to cardiac emergency preparedness is paramount.

Implementing a robust defibrillator and AED program ensures that critical life-saving care can be delivered promptly, minimizing damage and increasing survival rates for patients and staff alike. Consider the following key areas and facility types:

Ensuring your defibrillator or Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is correctly installed is paramount for immediate and effective use during a cardiac emergency. We offer a comprehensive installation service across Mauritius, designed for minimal disruption and maximum readiness.

Site Preparation

Prior to delivery, we will work with you to identify the optimal location for your device. Key considerations include:

• Visibility and Accessibility: The AED should be easily visible and accessible to all staff and visitors. Areas with high foot traffic, such as reception areas, lobbies, and common spaces, are ideal.
• Environmental Conditions: The chosen location must be protected from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and excessive moisture. Avoid areas near flammable materials or where the device could be easily damaged.
• Mounting Surface: A stable and appropriate surface is required for wall mounting, ensuring the device is securely in place. We will assess the wall type and recommend suitable mounting hardware.
• Power Source: While most AEDs are battery-operated, proximity to a power source may be beneficial for charging backup batteries or for devices with additional features.

Delivery And Unpacking

Once a suitable location is confirmed, our trained technicians will deliver your defibrillator or AED. The delivery includes:

• Careful transport of the device to prevent any damage.
• Thorough unpacking and initial inspection of the device and its accessories (e.g., pads, batteries, user manual).
• Confirmation that all components are present and in working order.

Installation Steps

Our professional installation process typically involves the following steps:

• Mounting the Device: The AED cabinet or the device itself will be securely mounted to the prepared wall or surface according to manufacturer guidelines.
• Connecting Accessories: Electrode pads and batteries will be installed as per the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring they are correctly seated and ready for use.
• Device Configuration: Basic device settings may be adjusted, and self-test functions initiated.
• User Training Briefing: Our technicians will provide a brief overview of the device's location and immediate accessibility, and can arrange for comprehensive user training separately.

Calibration And Testing

All defibrillators and AEDs undergo rigorous calibration and testing to guarantee their readiness:

• Automated Self-Tests: Most modern AEDs perform regular automated self-tests. Our installation ensures these self-tests are enabled and functioning correctly.
• Visual Inspection: Technicians will perform a visual check of all indicators, ensuring they signal the device is in a ready state.
• Documentation: We will provide you with documentation detailing the installation date, initial testing results, and recommended maintenance schedules. Regular maintenance and battery/pad replacement schedules will be clearly outlined to ensure ongoing compliance and device effectiveness.

The investment in a defibrillator or Automated External Defibrillator (AED) in Mauritius can vary significantly based on several factors, including the device's sophistication, brand, features, and the supplier. While specific pricing is best obtained through direct quotes, you can expect a general price range. Basic, semi-automatic AED units, suitable for public access locations and initial responder use, typically fall within the MUP 30,000 to MUP 60,000 bracket. More advanced, fully automatic AEDs, often featuring enhanced diagnostic capabilities, larger displays, and additional monitoring functions, can range from MUP 60,000 to MUP 100,000 or more. For fully equipped hospital-grade defibrillators, designed for critical care environments with extensive features like manual override, advanced pacing, and integrated monitors, the price can extend upwards of MUP 150,000 and potentially reach several hundred thousand Mauritian Rupees.

It's crucial to consider not only the initial purchase price but also ongoing costs such as replacement electrode pads (typically every 2-5 years), battery replacements, and potential maintenance contracts. Many reputable suppliers in Mauritius offer comprehensive packages that may include training, installation, and service agreements, which can provide a more predictable operational budget and ensure your device remains in optimal working condition.
