Defibrillators & AEDs in South Africa
Available Defibrillators & AEDs Models

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a life-threatening medical emergency that occurs when the heart's electrical activity malfunctions, leading to an abrupt loss of consciousness and pulse. Defibrillators are sophisticated medical devices designed to restore a normal heart rhythm by delivering a controlled electrical shock. In South Africa, the accessibility and usability of these devices have been significantly enhanced by the advent of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). Unlike traditional manual defibrillators requiring extensive medical training, AEDs are engineered for use by lay responders. They analyse the patient's heart rhythm and, if a shockable rhythm is detected, provide clear, voice-guided instructions to administer the electrical current. This crucial intervention can dramatically increase survival rates for SCA victims when applied promptly.

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can occur anywhere, anytime, and prompt defibrillation is critical for survival. In South Africa, a wide range of facilities and departments benefit significantly from the presence of life-saving defibrillators and Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). Having these devices readily available can mean the difference between life and death in a cardiac emergency.

From large-scale healthcare providers to community-focused organisations, understanding where these devices are most vital ensures optimal preparedness and response capabilities across the nation.

Ensuring your life-saving defibrillators and Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are correctly installed and ready for immediate use is paramount. We provide a comprehensive and professional installation service across South Africa, designed to minimize disruption and maximize the readiness of your critical medical equipment. Our process is meticulously planned from site assessment to final calibration, guaranteeing optimal performance in emergency situations.

The cost of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and manual defibrillators in South Africa can vary significantly based on several factors, including the specific model, brand, features, and the supplier. For businesses and healthcare facilities, understanding these price ranges is crucial for budgeting and making informed purchasing decisions. While we cannot provide exact figures, a realistic price spectrum can be established to guide your investment.

Basic, semi-automatic AEDs designed for public access and lay rescuers typically represent the more affordable end of the spectrum. These devices are user-friendly and provide voice and visual prompts to guide the user through the rescue process. For these models, you can expect pricing to generally fall within the range of R15,000 to R35,000.

More advanced semi-automatic or fully automatic AEDs, often featuring enhanced monitoring capabilities, ruggedised designs for harsher environments, or longer battery life, will naturally command a higher price. These may also include more comprehensive training packages or advanced data management features. The price range for these units typically starts from around R30,000 and can extend up to R70,000 or more.

Manual defibrillators, commonly found in hospitals and advanced medical settings, are more sophisticated and require trained medical professionals to operate. Due to their advanced functionalities, higher power output, and integrated diagnostic tools, these units are the most expensive. Their pricing can range significantly, often starting from R60,000 and going upwards of R200,000+, depending on the specific capabilities and intended use.

It's important to remember that these figures are indicative and can fluctuate. Additional costs to consider may include:
