A Defibrillator Can Save Your Life

We can't all live with a paramedic who is ready to help the second a sudden cardiac arrest strikes.

Having a defibrillator means you can step in with the tools to save a life before paramedics arrive. A defibrillator used within the first few minutes can increase survival rates up to 70%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need training to use a defibrillator?

No. All St John defibrillators are designed for ease of use, with clear voice and visual prompts to guide you step-by-step - even if you're untrained. However, we do recommend completing CPR and AED training to increase confidence.

What's the difference between a semi-automatic and a fully automatic defibrillator?

A semi-automatic defibrillator will analyse the heart rhythm and prompt he user to press the shock button if needed.

A fully automatic defibrillator will deliver the shock without requiring user action. This reduces hesitation during high-stress situations.

What's the warranty on a St John Defibrillator?

All St John X3 and G5 defibrillators come with an 8-year warranty for long-term peace of mind.
