Understanding CellAED®: Your Ultraportable Personal Defibrillator

The Importance of Defibrillators

CellAED® is the world’s first personal defibrillator, designed to be used by anyone, regardless of medical or first aid experience. It is an ultraportable, accessible, and effective device intended to assist in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest situations.

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a medical emergency that can occur to anyone, anywhere, at any time. During an SCA, a person collapses, becomes unresponsive, and stops breathing normally. Immediate action is crucial because the chance of survival decreases by 10% for every minute CPR and defibrillation are delayed. Quick access to a defibrillator can significantly improve survival rates.

Should I Have a Defibrillator for Home or Workplace?

Having a defibrillator like CellAED® at home or in the workplace can be a lifesaving decision. Here’s why:

  • Immediate Response: In case of a sudden cardiac arrest, having a defibrillator on hand allows for immediate action, which is critical in saving lives.
  • Accessibility: Homes and workplaces are common places where SCA can occur. Having a defibrillator ensures that help is available within moments.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing that a defibrillator is available can provide reassurance to family members, employees, and colleagues.
  • Community Safety: In workplaces and public areas, a defibrillator can serve not just the immediate occupants but also visitors and the surrounding community.

How CellAED® Works

Using CellAED® is designed to be intuitive and quick:

  1. Snap the device to turn it on and start voice instructions.
  2. Peel to separate the two electrode gel pads.
  3. Stick the pads to the patient’s bare chest.

This straightforward SNAP, PEEL, STICK process ensures that even those without medical training can effectively use the device in an emergency.

Key Features of CellAED®

  • User-Friendly Design: CellAED® provides clear voice instructions and visual guides, making it easy for anyone to use.
  • Rapid Activation: The device activates with a simple snap, and a perforated label guides the user.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable for both adults and infants (with a special mode for infants weighing less than 10 kg).
  • Compact and Lightweight: Measuring 19.6 cm x 9.3 cm x 1.7 cm and weighing approximately 300g (450g with the protective case), CellAED® is easy to store and carry.

Understanding the Specifications

  • Defibrillator Performance: CellAED® detects shockable rhythms and delivers necessary defibrillation.
  • Battery: The device includes a fully integrated, non-rechargeable lithium battery with a status indicator.
  • Environmental Specifications: Operates effectively within 0 to 35°C and is best stored within 15 to 35°C.
  • Data Communication: CellAED® monitors and stores event data, with IoT capabilities for CellAED for Life™ members.

How Defibrillators Save Lives

Immediate use of a defibrillator, combined with CPR, can significantly increase the chances of survival during sudden cardiac arrest. Studies, including a recent Monash University study, have shown that access to automated external defibrillators (AEDs) can boost survival rates from around 10% to as high as 70%. This study underscores the critical need for more public access to defibrillators, particularly in schools and universities.

The Role of CellAED® in Communities

CellAED® is designed to be a practical solution for homes, businesses, and communities. Its ease of use, portability, and accessibility make it a valuable tool in ensuring readiness for cardiac emergencies. By having a defibrillator on hand, individuals can act quickly and confidently, potentially saving lives.

How CellAED® Differs from Other Defibrillators

In comparison to some automated external defibrillators, CellAED® stands out:

  • Innovative Design: CellAED® is the world’s first personal defibrillator with groundbreaking technology.
  • Portability: At a compact size of 19.6 cm x 9.3 cm, it is highly portable.
  • Lightweight: Weighing only 300 grams, it is easy to handle and store.
  • Versatility: One device covers both adult and infant use, whereas other brands may require separate units.
  • Pre-Charged Battery: Comes with a pre-charged battery, unlike some brands that may sell it separately.

Unlike other types of defibrillators, CellAED® is designed for general public use without requiring medical expertise. Healthdirect emphasizes that AEDs like CellAED® are suitable for public areas, whereas other types may need medical professional intervention.
