&
Pages 225-230 | Published online: 09 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

As part of the continuing evaluation programme of medical equipment sponsored by the UK Health Departments, the evaluation of defibrillators is being carried out within the Sheffield and Rotherham District Health Authorities.

The following is a version of ‘Health Equipment Information' ('HEI') Number 186, published in September 1988, which contains evaluation details on a further five defibrillators. These are the Cardiac Recorders CR26, the Hewlett-Packard HP43120A, the Physico-Control Lifepak 8, the PPG Hellige SCP 852 and the Simonsen & Weel Defi 2.

A further model, the Seward Medical 9922 is covered very briefly as it has, as a result of the evaluation, been withdrawn from the market.

Earlier summaries of evaluation reports have appeared in ‘Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology' [1], together with a review of debrillator design and development [2].
