The first minutes after a cardiac arrest are vital essential! Only an accurate cardiac massage can save the patient, secures the his viability to the ambulances arrival and prevents long-term damages. But to give an effective cardiac massage is – especially for unexperienced first-aider – a big challenge. Where to place your hand , how hard and how often to push?

Ideal applicability

Without any electricity or battery – purely mechanically – is the Cardio First Angel always on standby. Its applicability is shown in uncomplicated and international comprehensible icons.

Ideal positioning

The specific design of the Cardio First Angel guarantees the correct positioning on the patients breast, so the cardiac massage works exactly where it is needed. A special foam creates a soft contact surface and absorbs sudor.

Ideal effort

A special spring signalises the perfect pressure of 41 kg with a clear click-sound. The click-sound is also audible with the following release of the spring. If the first-aider is geared to these two click-sounds he will automatically reach the required frequency of round about 100 compressions per minute.

For a proper and efficient initial treatment

With its small pack size and a weight of only 130 gram the Cardio First Angel fits in every bag and is at hand immediately in case of an emergency. It secures the patient-centred care in the first and most important minutes. Purely mechanically it provides the required pressure, the most effective frequency of compressions and the right position for a cardiac massage.

The Cardio First Angel was developed in cooperation with the cardiologist Prof. Dr. Christian Hagl, head of heart surgery and polyclinic of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University medical centre and the Inotech Group.
