RE: Marquette Defibs & First Save AED

[Guest guest]

Hi Ian

I cant help you on the first question, but I can help on the second.

We have just taken delivery of a FirstSave, and being the good egg, I have

read the book and watched the video....... The book states

'When the bottom Red LED initially lights, upon opening the lid or at any

time during a rescue, you will hear the 'Battery Low' prompt once. However,

the FirstSave should still be capable of delivering approimately 9 more

defibrilation shocks'

I like the get of jail free card they have ie 'should still be capable'

Hope this answers your question. If you need any more info just shout

Ian,

Staffs have a collection of ancient Marquettes, ie portable via forklift and

bad language. ALL the batteries were dead when they recently tried to resus

them. I suggested the routine of hot-cold which usually free up a battery

with memeory effect. IE you put them on a hot radiator, then in the fridge.

Keep doing that for a while and maybe some life comes back. You can get

spare batteries, as I believe the company holds old stock.

What sort of batteries do these things use, because there are chargers for

so called non rechargeable and rechargeable batteries, I use one by

Innovations, however it is possible that these might not be standard

sizes???

I think they are specific, normal battery chargers would not work in

this particular case

I have very little experience of Marquette Defibs,

I think I did an assesment on one about 12 years ago,

can't tell you the model number, sorry! bur I did pass.

A company called Batteries in the UK do

battery reconditioners but these are mainly for

two two radios ans 'medical equipment' etc.

I doubt very much if they would do an adapter

for something like a Marquette but it might be

worth asking the question.

Marquette Defibs & First Save AED

Hi All,

Two questions re defibs.

(Steve this may be one for you)

1. We have a marquette 1250 but the batteries appear to be suffering from

memory effect, ie die after 24 hours, for the obvious reasons this is not

good, a reliable source tells me BP and Shell have binned theirs due to

dated technology and lighter and more portable models being avaialable. Can

anyone confirm this? second are marquette batteries still available, I know

its a dated machine but I would have thought spares would be readily

available?

2. Second question re first save aed's we have one of the above and on

connecting it to the PC diagnostic and download software the battery life

only shows 45%, I ve chatted with my back to back (also on the list) and he

seems to think that so long as the indicator is green (it is) the AED is

good for at least one full resus, can anyone back this up?

And Gerard before you ask no I'm not in the market for a new defib :-)))

(not yet anyway)

Best Wishes

Ian

Much obliged I thought they might be but I have come across some medical

gear that works off standard A AA AAA C D etc rechargeable cells.

Yeah the price is the problem, if its not cost effective we may just

consider upgrading the machine.
