CardioVive DM is reportedly a professional-grade AED with manual override and ECG monitoring.

It features automated voice prompts for the layperson while allowing physicians to switch from AED to manual defibrillation. Patented-powerful algorithms and variable escalating energy delivers the right amount of energy to the individual patient, said the company. The system also has optional 3-lead continuous ECG patient monitoring.

A lightweight patient monitor, the ARGUS PRO LifeCare is made to be used in emergency care, inter-hospital or in-house patient transfer.

The compact 2.1 kg package covers full diagnostic ECG, NIBP, SpO2 with plethysmogram and EtCO2 with capnogram, according to the company. It includes two temperatures, two invasive blood pressures, a defibrillator with AED and MANUAL mode and a transcutaneous pacemaker.

The AED 10 and AED 20 both feature a reportedly intuitive design to guide virtually any rescuer through a cardiac emergency. Using text messages, voice prompts and instructional illustrations, the AEDs automatically determine if a life-saving shock is required, yet protect against inappropriate delivery of electrical current to the patient. Intended for easy operation and quick deployment, the AED 10 and AED 20 use the simple “1-2-3” rescue approach.

An AED that can be located instantly by its color, the Lifeline can be carried to the patient quickly without fumbling, as well as used with minimal steps to analyze and treat the patient's condition.
