DEFIBRILLATOR SERVICES FOR SCHOOLS & OFFICES

Defibrillators Services Across the UK

At Concept Hygiene, we offer an industry-leading service throughout the UK, offering businesses and public buildings the chance to outright purchase a defibrillator or receive one through our managed service packages.

Industry-leading service

Over 70,000 people suffer a cardiac arrest in the UK each year, with less than one in five receiving the time-sensitive treatment that is necessary to save their lives. We’re committed to helping reduce the number of these fatalities by supplying Zoll Defibrillators, as well as providing regular battery and pad checks.

Defibrillators are devices that restore a normal heartbeat by sending an electric pulse or shock to the heart. They’re used to prevent or correct an arrhythmia, a heartbeat that is uneven or that is too slow or too fast.

Our defibrillators are available from just £1.20 per day, and require no capital outlay to ensure absolute peace of mind that anyone in your building is protected in the case of a cardiac emergency.

Our defibrillator packages include a range of additional benefits with ongoing support from our team, including comprehensive checks to ensure full functionality of the device, from installation through to aftercare and product support.

What are the benefits of having an on-site defibrillator?

There are many benefits to installing a defibrillator in a public building, an office, a warehouse or a school – it all comes down to helping people survive.

  • Without immediate treatment, 90-95% of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) victims will die
    If a defibrillator is used and effective CPR is performed within 3-5 minutes of cardiac arrest, their chance of survival increases from 6% to 74%.
  • Defibrillators can be used by anybody, trained or not.
  • Defibrillators are easy to use, compact, portable and extremely effective.
  • Defibrillators give out clear voice commands to ensure the most effective action is taken.
  • Defibrillators will not shock a patient unless a non-viable heart rhythm is detected.
  • Concept Hygiene supplies Zoll Defibrillators, one of the most respected brands on the market.

Defibrillator Services FAQs

What is a defibrillator?

A defibrillator is a medical piece of equipment that's used when a person suffers a sudden cardiac arrest. A defibrillator's job is to ‘restart' the heart by delivering a burst of electric energy to it, re-establishing the electrical pulses and allowing the heart to beat again. Without a defibrillator, the chances of survival are as low as 5% for someone suffering an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

What is a PAD?

Public Access Defibrillators (PAD) are defibrillators that can be found in public areas. They're the same as regular defibrillators but are designed for public use and are often found in areas that are hard to reach by emergency services, including remote towns and villages. You may have seen them in tourist areas, such as popular trails in the Lake District and other nature trails around the UK. Having a PAD installed in a remote area can save essential seconds when delivering emergency care to anyone who has suffered a sudden cardiac arrest.

How much does a defibrillator cost?

Defibrillators can vary in price. At Concept Hygiene, our defibrillator service packs start from as little as £449 per year, as we believe strongly that these pieces of equipment should be as widely accessible and affordable as possible.

Do I or my staff need any special defibrillator training to use an AED?

The brilliance of a defibrillator is that no training is necessary. They are pieces of equipment that are specifically designed for use by anyone, and each of them features guidance systems and easy-to-follow instructions, which make them simple to use, even in high-stress situations. Many AEDs offer visual and verbal assistance to help you administer effective care. Lit up images within the AED when the next step is ready to be performed help the user quickly learn how the process works. AEDs also calculate their own electrostatic shock and determine when a shock needs to be delivered, taking pressure off the person who is helping. However, we do recognise that being trained and being familiar with the unit will instil more confidence in someone when faced with a situation where they would need to use the defibrillator. Although not compulsory, defibrillator training can provide peace of mind to a nominated member of staff, such as a first aider, and help may be administered more timely and effectively.

What is an AED?

AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator and is a medical device that cleverly analyses the patient's heart rhythm, before deciding whether to administer a calculated shock to restart the heart. They're used on people who suffer a sudden cardiac arrest and are often found in public areas such as schools, offices, shopping centres and sports clubs. AEDs have been specially designed so that they can be used by anyone and are designed to be straightforward to use in high-stress situations. Audio and visual alerts on many AEDs also highlight which steps should be followed and alert the user when a shock is about to be delivered, helping guide them through every step of the process.

How are AEDs used?

AEDs are designed for easy use so that both medical professionals and members of the public can administer life-saving care when needed. There's no need to panic if you've never used an AED before, as they have been specifically designed to be easily deployable, with clearly written and verbal instructions to guide any user through the process. These instructions cover everything from CPR to fibrillation and help the user deal with a shockable heart rhythm.

Can I get funding for a defibrillator?

It is possible to receive funding for a public access defibrillator. If you're planning on installing one in your local area or near your business premises, The British Heart Foundation may be able to help. If you'd like more information, call 0800 996 1033 to speak to our friendly team.

What are the dangers of a defibrillator?

Defibrillators only deliver a shock when one is needed, so the dangers involved when using one are minimal. The chances of harm being caused to either the patient or the user is extremely low.

Am I legally required to have a defibrillator fitted on my premises?

Having a defibrillator fitted in your premises is optional, and as of yet, it is not a legal requirement in the UK. However, it is highly recommended that you have one installed. Over 80% of people suffer from a sudden cardiac arrest in public places every year, and having one installed on your premises could increase the survival rate of someone suffering a cardiac arrest by a massive 60%. If you still have questions you'd like answering about the installation of AEDs in your school, office, or other place of work, then contact our team of professionals at Concept Hygiene today. We've been supplying and installing high-quality defibrillators all around the UK for almost a decade. Our experts can talk you through our whole defibrillator services package.
