Keeping those hearts tickin'

[BigClive]

There's plenty of choice in defib units (AED's) on this site:-

I can't believe how much the price of these things has plummeted. They really are at a one-per-truck price level now!

A quick search for UK suppliers suggested that UK companies would probably be a lot cheaper buying these things from America! (Bigfoot?)

Big Clive:
The unit you showed on the first post looks like what we had demonstrated here. We also have a Phillips unit in the office but in our opinion it was not built rugged enough to survive on a truck everyday. We did get references from some other utilities and two fire departments about the Zoll units. This included one company that dropped the unit in it's case off the side of a pier while pulling out other material from the same bin. They fished it out of the water with a long stick and a hand line, the inside of the case was still dry.

Sounds like that might actually be the ruggedised linemans version.

(Incidentally, we work in both metric and imperial measurements in the UK.)

Is it this model?

How do you differentiate between Imperial gallons and US gallons? Kinda like litres and quarts, isn't it, one is a litre bit more than the other?

I don't know how much is in a US gallon, but a UK gallon of cider is far too much in one session.

UK gallon about eight pints I think.

Found this article in Decembers issue of EC&M - Pretty much sums up what Big Clive has been talking about here, especially with the introduction of the new difibrillators. Take a look when you get the chance.

It looks almost out of date already. The defib units are much cheaper now.

I like the recommendation that electrical workers should never work alone. Yeah right! I wish!

Has anyone niggled their management about getting AED units recently?
