HEARTSINE Samaritan 500P Semi-Automatic Defibrillator (CPR Advisor)

The HeartSine Samaritan 500P is the only AED in the HeartSine range with built-in CPR Advisor — a real-time coaching feature that measures the rescuer's chest compression depth and rate during CPR and gives audible feedback to keep technique within Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines. Designed for workplaces and trained first responders who want to give patients the best possible chance of survival.

Who it's for

Workplaces with trained first-aiders, healthcare facilities, sports clubs with CPR-trained coaches, and organisations that want to maximise survival outcomes by ensuring CPR quality matches guidelines. The CPR Advisor is the key differentiator — high-quality compressions are the biggest predictor of survival after defibrillation.

What You'll Also Need

A complete AED program requires more than just the device. Most organisations also need:

• Wall cabinet — alarmed, lockable enclosure required for SA AED Act compliance and WHS best practice.
• AED location signage — ILCOR-standard signs at the device and directional arrows along corridors.
• Annual NATA-certified testing — annual inspection with calibration certificate for insurers and WHS auditors.
• Replacement CPR Advisor Pad-Pak™ — the 500P uses a unique Pad-Pak with embedded compression sensor. Schedule replacement at 4 years. Contact us to order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the CPR Advisor actually do?
It uses a sensor in the electrode pads to measure how deep and how fast the rescuer is compressing the chest, then gives audible prompts to coach technique. CPR feedback devices consistently improve compression quality in clinical studies.

Is this AED worth the extra cost over the 350P?
If your rescuers are CPR-untrained or may freeze under pressure, yes. Many sites buy a 500P for the most likely deployment location and 350Ps for the rest. Our model comparison guide walks through the decision.

Are the Pad-Paks interchangeable with the 350P/360P?
No — the 500P uses a unique CPR Advisor Pad-Pak. Order replacements specifically for the 500P. If you run a mixed fleet, you'll need to stock both types.
