> The staff at the UK building I was visiting had a defibrillator in their office and one of them had been on a training course.

I have a Philips HeartStart at home. None of us are high risk (we're not obese, fit), or had family history of heart disease. We just like gadgets, and why take a chance?

The last company I worked as an employee at had defibrillators on every floor. While I had to take diversity training, and sensitivity training, I was never required to take -- or offered -- a class in defibrillator training.




It seems they go around 2000 dollars with some very worn out second hand on Ebay for 400.

Sounds ripe for disruption by a Startup doing either:

- Defibrillators on Lease or

- Crowdfunding prototype ;-)


We bought it new. It’s not the type of thing to take a chance on!
