Collection: Defibtech AED – Lifeline & Lifeline VIEW Defibrillators

Defibtech’s Lifeline series makes sudden cardiac arrest response achievable for everyday heroes. Models like the Lifeline AED and Lifeline VIEW combine mission‑critical features with straightforward operation so you can act quickly and confidently. Each unit uses a non‑escalating biphasic waveform proven safe and effective, and their bright yellow, hourglass‑shaped designs with rubberized handles are easy to spot and grip. Long‑life batteries offer options for up to 5 or 7 years of standby power, while daily, weekly and monthly self‑tests help ensure your AED is rescue‑ready. If a device isn’t ready when needed, it can risk lives and could create compliance issues for workplaces and public spaces; the Lifeline’s status indicator shows readiness at a glance.
