DefiSign LIFE Semi Automatic Defibrillator

Key Features of the DefiSign Semi-Automatic Defibrillator

Instant Activation in Seconds

Simply open the front cover, and the DefiSign AED automatically powers on and begins providing clear verbal instructions. There's no need to press buttons or navigate complicated menus during a life-threatening emergency.

Visual LED Guidance for Confidence

Step-by-step instructions are reinforced by illuminated LED images, guiding rescuers through each stage of the resuscitation process. This dual audio-visual approach significantly reduces hesitation and errors, even for first-time users. The device clearly shows where to put pads on the victim's chest, removing any guesswork during critical moments.

Pre-Connected Electrodes Save Precious Time

The electrode pads are visible at a glance and already connected to the device. This means rescuers can apply them directly to the victim's bare chest without fumbling with packaging or connectors, saving critical seconds when every moment counts. The chance of survival without a defibrillator decreases by approximately 10% with each minute of delay, making this quick-access design potentially lifesaving.

Industry Leading 10-Year Warranty

Unlike most defibrillators that offer 5–8 year warranties, the DefiSign LIFE is backed by a full 10 year manufacturer's warranty. This exceptional coverage provides peace of mind and demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the device's long-term reliability.

Multilingual Support for International Environments

The DefiSign defibrillator comes pre-loaded with three languages, including English, Swedish, and German. With a single press of the language button, you can switch languages, even during CPR, without interrupting the rescue sequence. This makes it perfect for:

• Railway stations and airports
• Holiday parks and tourist attractions

Other language combinations are available upon request.

Readiness Indicators

Four LED status lights on the front of the device provide instant visual confirmation of operational status:

• Green flashing LED (right side): Device is ready for emergency use
• Illuminated LEDs (left side): Action required (e.g., battery or electrode replacement)

This intuitive system ensures you can verify your AED's readiness in seconds during routine checks, essential for ensuring this portable defibrillator remains functional when needed.

Automatic Monitoring

Regular self-tests check battery status, electrode connection/capacity, and overall functionality. The LED status indicator and radio frequency identification tracking mean you'll always know when maintenance is due, ensuring this portable defibrillator remains ready as the nearest defibrillator to an emergency.

Weatherproof Design (IP55 Rating)

With high dust and water resistance, the DefiSign LIFE can be installed both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor placement, we recommend pairing it with a suitable heated outdoor defibrillator cabinet to protect against extreme temperatures and ensure it's always ready as the nearest defibrillator for passersby.

Low Asystole Threshold

Detects even the faintest heart activity so the defibrillator can correctly tell the difference between a real flatline and very weak heart activity, so it won’t miss a shockable rhythm.

Adapted Child CPR Protocol

When the paediatric pads are plugged in, the AED automatically switches to child-appropriate CPR coaching and shock settings, helping rescuers confidently treat children in emergencies.

How to Use the DefiSign LIFE Defibrillator

The DefiSign LIFE is designed for intuitive operation, even under stress. An AED can be used on anyone in cardiac arrest by following these simple steps:

1. Open the device – The front cover lifts easily, and the defibrillator powers on automatically.
2. Follow audio instructions – Clear spoken English tells you exactly what to do.
3. Observe LED visual prompts – Illuminated images reinforce each step.
4. Apply electrode pads – Place pre-connected pads on the victim's bare chest as shown by the LED guidance.
5. Allow analysis – The device automatically assesses the heart rhythm.
6. Deliver shock if advised – Press the shock button if the device determines a shock is needed.
7. Continue CPR – Follow the audio metronome for chest compressions at the correct rate.

The entire process is designed to be completed by someone with no medical training. However, we recommend all staff complete a basic AED and CPR training course for maximum confidence.

How often does the DefiSign LIFE need servicing?

The device performs daily automatic self-checks. You should visually check the status LED weekly (green flashing light confirms readiness). An annual professional servicing is recommended to make sure your device is in top condition and rescue-ready. Please call 01298 872 186 if you need any further information.

What's the chance of survival with a defibrillator compared to without one?

The chance of survival with defibrillator access is dramatically higher than without. Sudden cardiac arrest survival rates drop approximately 10% with each minute of delay. Early defibrillation (within 3–5 minutes) can yield 50–70% survival rates, compared to below 10% after 10 minutes without intervention.

Where can I find the nearest defibrillator in my area?

You can find the closest defibrillator using the DefibFinder. We strongly encourage you to register your DefiSign LIFE on the national database (the Circuit) once installed, making it discoverable as the nearest defibrillator for others in emergencies.

Where should the defibrillator pads be placed?

For adults and older children, one pad is placed on the upper right of the chest and the other on the lower left side of the chest, as shown on the pad diagrams and illuminated images on the device. For younger children, the paediatric pads include clear illustrations showing the correct pad placement for a small chest.

What languages does the DefiSign LIFE support?

Each unit is supplied with three pre-configured languages, such as English, German, and Swedish, and alternative language combinations are available on request. The rescuer can switch language with a single button press, even while a rescue is in progress.

Can I buy a defibrillator for home use in the UK?

Yes. Many customers choose the DefiSign LIFE as a portable defibrillator for home, especially where a family member is at higher risk of cardiac arrest. Defibstore can advise on suitable storage, cabinets and signage to ensure the device is easy to access and clearly visible.
