Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 Semi-Automatic Defibrillator: A Reliable and Advanced Lifesaving Device

The Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 Semi-Automatic Defibrillator combines cutting-edge technology with ease of use, offering precise and timely intervention during sudden cardiac arrest emergencies. Engineered for efficiency, this semi-automatic defibrillator is ideal for both public spaces and professional healthcare settings, ensuring confidence in critical moments.

Key Features of the Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 Semi-Automatic Defibrillator

• Semi-Automatic Operation: The Powerheart G5 analyzes the patient’s heart rhythm and instructs the user to deliver a shock if necessary, ensuring controlled, timely intervention.

• RescueCoach® Technology: User-paced, clear audio and visual prompts guide the rescuer through each step, ensuring that even untrained users can operate the device effectively.

• iCPR Capability: Compatible with the iCPR device (available separately), which offers real-time feedback on chest compressions, helping users maintain correct compression rate and depth for optimal CPR performance.

• Dual-Language Functionality: Rescuers can switch between two preset languages at the touch of a button, making this defibrillator particularly suited for multicultural environments.

• Non-Polarised Defibrillation Pads: The Intellisense™ defibrillation pads can be used in any position on the patient, streamlining setup and saving time during emergencies.

• Durable and IP55 Rated: With an IP55 rating, the Powerheart G5 is dust and water-resistant, making it suitable for various environments, including outdoor and rugged conditions.

• Data Storage and USB Transfer: Stores up to 90 minutes of event data, accessible via USB, allowing for detailed medical review and quality assurance.

• Long-Life Battery: Equipped with the Intellisense® lithium battery, offering a 4-year shelf life and ensuring the device remains ready for use in both low and high-traffic areas.

• Paediatric Capability: Paediatric defibrillation pads are available for patients under 8 years of age or weighing less than 25kg, adding versatility to the device.

• Rescue Ready® Indicator: The Powerheart G5 performs self-tests daily and provides a clear visual indicator of its readiness, ensuring operational status at all times.

1. Why choose the Powerheart G5 over other defibrillators?

The Powerheart G5 combines clinical-level features with user-friendly design. It offers real-time CPR coaching, automatic self-checks, and customised shock delivery based on patient needs. It’s built for organisations that want both high performance and simplicity, making it ideal for schools, offices, leisure centres, and public access locations.

2. How does the Powerheart G5 guide users during a rescue?

The G5 provides step-by-step voice instructions and optional text prompts on its display. It walks the responder through pad placement, shock delivery, and CPR. When used with CPR-D feedback pads, it also gives live coaching on compression rate and depth, making even untrained users more effective in an emergency.

3. Can the Powerheart G5 be used in cold or wet environments?

Yes. The G5 is IP55 rated, meaning it is protected against dust and water jets. It also meets military standards for drop, vibration, and temperature resistance, making it perfect for outdoor installations, sports grounds, construction sites, and emergency vehicles. For outdoor setups, pair it with a heated AED cabinet.

4. What happens if the Powerheart G5 isn’t functioning correctly?

The G5 performs daily, weekly, and monthly self-tests and automatically checks the battery, pads, and internal components. If an issue is detected, a red indicator and audible alert let you know immediately. When ready for use, the indicator displays green, giving users quick visual confirmation of device status.

5. Does the G5 support both adult and child patients?

Yes, the Powerheart G5 can treat both adults and children. It uses different electrode pads for each:

• Adult pads with CPR feedback

• Paediatric pads

When paediatric pads are connected, the G5 automatically adjusts to deliver a child-appropriate shock level.

6. How long do the battery and pads last in the G5 AED?

The Intellisense battery typically lasts up to 4 years in standby mode and can deliver more than 400 shocks. Electrode pads have a 2-year shelf life or must be replaced after use. The G5 tracks both and alerts users when replacements are due.

7. What type of environments is the G5 best suited for?

Thanks to its rugged build, CPR coaching, and long-lasting power, the G5 is ideal for:

• Workplaces with large staff numbers

• Public transport and aviation

• Educational campuses

• Sports venues and outdoor events

Its reliability and durability also make it a strong choice for emergency services and security teams.

8. Do users need medical training to operate the Powerheart G5?

No medical background is required. The G5 is designed for layperson use, with clear voice and visual prompts. That said, we recommend completing a basic defibrillator and CPR course to enhance responder confidence and effectiveness. You can arrange a certified training session for your team or organisation.

9. Is the Powerheart G5 approved for use in the UK?

Yes. The Powerheart G5 is CE marked, MHRA compliant, and meets the latest Resuscitation Council UK AED guidelines. It’s also certified under ISO 13485 and IEC safety standards, ensuring quality and reliability in both public and professional settings.
