AED & Defibrillators in South Africa
Available AED & Defibrillators Models

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and defibrillators are vital medical devices designed to treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart's electrical activity becomes chaotic, leading to an ineffective heartbeat and immediate loss of consciousness and pulse. These devices deliver an electrical shock to the heart, aimed at restoring a normal rhythm.

A defibrillator, in its most advanced forms, is operated by trained medical professionals who can interpret an electrocardiogram (ECG) and manually select the appropriate energy level for the shock. AEDs, on the other hand, are designed for use by lay rescuers. They automatically analyse the patient's heart rhythm and, if a shockable rhythm is detected, guide the user through the process with clear voice and visual prompts, delivering the shock only when necessary. This makes AEDs accessible and crucial for rapid response in public spaces and non-clinical settings across South Africa.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) can strike anywhere, at any time. Ensuring immediate access to Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and professional defibrillators is crucial across a wide spectrum of South African healthcare facilities and high-risk environments. Prompt defibrillation dramatically increases survival rates from SCA, making these devices essential for any organisation prioritising patient and visitor safety.

Ensuring your Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) or manual defibrillator is correctly installed and ready for immediate use is paramount. We offer a comprehensive installation service designed to be efficient, compliant, and reassuring. Our process begins with understanding your unique environment and culminates in a fully tested and operational life-saving device.

The investment in an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) or a manual defibrillator in South Africa can vary significantly depending on a multitude of factors. These include the type of device (AED vs. manual), brand reputation, specific features (e.g., semi-automatic, fully automatic, paediatric capabilities, data recording), warranty period, and whether it's a standalone unit or part of a comprehensive emergency response package.

For a standard, user-friendly AED suitable for public spaces or workplaces, you can generally expect to find pricing starting from approximately R15,000 to R25,000. More advanced AED models, offering enhanced features or catering to specific professional environments, can range from R25,000 upwards, potentially reaching R50,000 or more for sophisticated units with extensive data management capabilities and advanced monitoring features.

Manual defibrillators, often favoured by medical professionals for their greater control in critical situations, tend to be at the higher end of the price spectrum due to their complexity and the need for skilled operation. These can start from around R30,000 and extend significantly beyond R100,000 for high-end, multi-functional devices.

It's crucial to consider that these figures represent the initial purchase price. Ongoing costs such as replacement electrode pads (typically every 2-5 years), batteries (which also have a limited lifespan), and regular maintenance or servicing should be factored into the overall budget. Furthermore, training costs for staff or medical personnel to operate the device effectively are an important consideration for responsible deployment.
