CARDIO First Angel - the lifesaver for heart attacks

In an emergency, for lay first aiders to use immediately as a life-saving measure without risk.
In Europe, there are around 700,000 heart attacks each year; worldwide it is approx. 17 million. If the heart stops beating, the brain is no longer supplied with oxygen and suffers irreversible damage. Using Cardio First Angel can prevent this.

Ideal ease of use
Purely mechanical – no electricity or battery – the Cardio First Angel is ready for use at any time. A special plastic creates a soft support surface and absorbs sweat.

Ideal positioning
Thanks to the special shape of the Cardio First Angel, correct positioning on the patient’s chest is guaranteed – so that chest compressions work exactly where they are needed. Use is straightforward and explained with internationally understandable pictograms.

Ideal force required
A special spring signals the optimal pressure for chest compressions of 41 kg with a loud click. This click can also be heard during the subsequent release. This gives the first aider a tempo to achieve the required rate of approx. 100 compressions.

Technical data
Dimensions (L x W x H): 20 x 13 x 6 cm

In the event of a heart attack, valuable minutes are all too often lost because either no resuscitation attempts are made or they are performed incorrectly until the emergency doctor finally arrives. This is exactly where the Cardio First Angel comes in. With it, even a layperson can perform chest compressions quickly and efficiently.

Many first aiders cannot find the correct spot for chest compressions without support. With the Cardio First Angel, however, you automatically perform the compressions where they are most effective. A positioning aid ensures this. The device is placed in the centre of the chest and a drawing on the surface shows how the hand must be positioned.

But how hard should you press? The Cardio First Angel provides reassurance here too. When sufficient force has been applied, the loud click of a special spring can be heard and felt. When you then release, another click indicates that you now need to build up pressure again. Alternating between the two clicking sounds helps the rescuer find exactly the right rhythm. This means the Cardio First Angel can bridge the time until the emergency doctor arrives.

If the Cardio First Angel were within reach everywhere in one to three minutes, numerous lives could be saved and patients protected from long-term damage. With a packed size of just 20 x 13 cm and weighing only 130 grams, the Cardio First Angel fits into almost any bag and is immediately to hand in an emergency. This ensures the best possible care in the crucial first minutes after cardiac arrest. Purely mechanical, it provides the necessary pressure, the most effective frequency and correct positioning for chest compressions.
