Defibrillator and Oxygen Resuscitation Kit

The storage cabinet for the defibrillator is located in the library on the wall above the refrigerator. The oxygen resuscitation case is orange in colour and stored in close proximity.

We hope that the defibrillator will never require to be used, but in such an event we wish to ensure that, as far as possible, the defibrillator is not used on a person who does not wish it to be used on them. To that end and should you NOT wish the defibrillator to be used on your person in an emergency (for example, for medical, ethical, religious or personal reasons) then please inform the Club Secretary by email or surface mail so that a record of this information can be recorded and displayed on the storage cabinet of the equipment. With these exceptions the defibrillator will be used if needed.

Defibrillator Demonstration Video

With the club’s defibrillator now installed in a green cabinet above the refrigerator in the library, it is recommended that club members familiarise themselves with how to maximise this vital life saving equipment in an emergency. To that end, can we encourage members to spare 5 minutes of their time to play the following video.

Note: The SAM 500P model is what we have at BBC although the colour of BBC´s defibrillator is orange. It is the same model as shown in the video.

It will certainly place your mind at rest as to just how easy it is to use this equipment and ultimately save a life!
