Regular reporting of correct function and readiness of a public defibrillators for emergency is important to Ambulance Services.

For the equipment maintenance services, an NFC tag with QR code was customized. An insulating layer makes it possible to attach the tag onto the metal surface of the HeartSafe® cabinet and the outer layer is designed to survive the varying weather conditions. The maintenance personnel only needs to tap the tag with a mobile phone that supports NFC technology to make the report, which can be seen in real-time in the operation center. Mobile reporting saves time and reduces human errors.

HeartSafe® cabins using innovative NFC technology offer a quick help when rapid heart stop occurs. Knowledge that the defibrillator is ready and functional is key for any Ambulance Services to list it in their operational systems.

A defibrillator is an electronic device used internally or externally that delivers a controlled electric shock to a patient to correct ventricular fibrillation, a lack of coordination of the contraction of muscle tissue of the large chambers of the heart.
