Defibrillator (Manual) in Nigeria
Leading Defibrillator (Manual) Supplier

A Manual Defibrillator is a critical piece of emergency medical equipment designed to deliver an electrical shock to the heart. This shock is precisely timed and calibrated to correct life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT). Unlike automated external defibrillators (AEDs), manual defibrillators require direct user input and interpretation of the patient's cardiac rhythm by a trained healthcare professional.

The core function of a manual defibrillator is to interrupt chaotic electrical activity in the heart, providing an opportunity for the heart's natural pacemaker to re-establish a normal, effective rhythm. This intervention is vital in situations where a patient has suffered sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) due to these dangerous arrhythmias. Its application is typically found in hospital settings, ambulances, and advanced life support (ALS) units, where skilled personnel can make informed decisions regarding its use.

In Nigeria, manual defibrillators are critical life-saving devices, essential in a wide range of healthcare settings where the risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is present. The need extends beyond tertiary care facilities to include primary and secondary healthcare providers, ensuring rapid intervention capabilities across the nation.

Ensuring your manual defibrillator is correctly installed is crucial for its optimal performance and reliability during critical emergencies in Nigeria. We offer a comprehensive installation service to guarantee seamless integration into your healthcare facility.

Site Preparation

Before delivery, adequate site preparation is essential. This includes identifying a stable, accessible, and well-lit location for the defibrillator. The chosen site should be protected from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and excessive humidity, which are common environmental factors in Nigeria. Proximity to power outlets and emergency response stations is also recommended. For wall-mounted units, ensure the wall structure is robust enough to support the weight of the device and its accessories.

Delivery And Unpacking

Upon arrival, our trained technicians will carefully transport the defibrillator to its designated installation site. The device will be meticulously unpacked, and all components, including electrodes, batteries, charging cables, and user manuals, will be accounted for against the packing list. Any initial visual inspection for transit damage will be performed at this stage.

Installation Steps

Our installation process is designed to be efficient and thorough:

• Mounting (if applicable): For wall-mounted models, technicians will securely fix the mounting bracket, ensuring it is level and capable of bearing the defibrillator's weight.
• Device Placement: The defibrillator unit will be carefully positioned or mounted onto its designated support.
• Power Connection: The unit will be connected to a reliable power source, using surge protectors where necessary, especially vital given Nigeria's power grid fluctuations. For battery-operated models, the battery will be installed and charged according to manufacturer guidelines.
• Accessory Connection: Electrodes, patient cables, and any other required accessories will be connected and verified for proper seating.
• Initial Power-Up and System Check: The defibrillator will be powered on, and an initial system self-test will be initiated to confirm all internal components are functioning correctly.

Calibration And Testing Requirements

Post-installation, rigorous calibration and testing are mandatory to ensure the defibrillator's readiness for use. This includes:

• Battery Charge Verification: Confirming the battery is fully charged and will sustain operation for the required duration.
• Energy Output Test: Performing a simulated discharge test to verify the accurate delivery of calibrated energy levels as specified by the manufacturer. This is a critical step to ensure therapeutic effectiveness.
• Indicator Light and Audible Alarm Verification: Testing all visual indicators (e.g., power, battery status, fault lights) and audible alarms to ensure they function as expected.
• Self-Test Functionality Check: Ensuring the defibrillator's automatic self-test functions correctly and reports any errors accurately.
• Documentation: All installation and testing procedures, including calibration data, will be meticulously documented in a service report, with a copy provided to your facility.

The cost of a manual defibrillator in Nigeria can vary significantly based on several factors, including the brand, specific model features, age of the unit (new versus refurbished), and the supplier. As a crucial piece of life-saving medical equipment, investing in a reliable defibrillator is paramount for healthcare facilities.

For new manual defibrillators from reputable international manufacturers, you can generally expect prices to range from ₦1,500,000 to upwards of ₦5,000,000. This price bracket reflects the advanced technology, durability, and comprehensive warranty often associated with new units.

Refurbished manual defibrillators offer a more budget-friendly alternative, typically falling between ₦600,000 and ₦2,500,000. It's important to note that refurbished units are pre-owned but have undergone thorough inspection, servicing, and restoration to ensure operational readiness. Purchasing from trusted medical equipment suppliers who provide a warranty on refurbished items is highly recommended to guarantee performance and safety.

When considering the price, factor in the total cost of ownership, which may include maintenance, accessories (such as batteries and pads), and any necessary training for your staff. Always obtain detailed quotes from multiple suppliers to compare specifications, warranties, and after-sales support.
