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 guidelines. It's designed for workplaces and trained first responders who want to give patients the best possible chance of survival, not just deliver a shock.

Key Features

• Real-time CPR Advisor — measures chest compression depth and rate, gives audible feedback to coach the rescuer to optimal technique.
• Semi-automatic shock delivery — user presses the shock button when prompted.
• Voice and visual prompts guide the rescue from start to finish.
• Lightweight 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs) — same form factor as the 350P/360P.
• IP56-rated dust- and moisture-resistant.
• Pad-Pak™ cartridge with integrated battery and electrodes, 4-year shelf life.
• Self-monitoring with weekly self-tests.
• AHA / ARC / ERC compliant.

Who it's for

Workplaces with trained first-aiders, healthcare facilities, sports clubs with CPR-trained coaches, and any organisation that wants to maximise survival outcomes by ensuring rescuer CPR quality matches Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines. The CPR Advisor is the differentiator — high-quality compressions are the single biggest predictor of survival after defibrillation. If you don't need CPR coaching feedback, the 350P offers similar AED capability at a lower price.

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 ("push harder", "good compressions") to coach technique. Studies consistently show CPR feedback devices improve compression quality.

Is this AED worth the extra cost over the 350P?
If your rescuers are likely to be CPR-untrained or freeze under pressure, yes. If you have a strong CPR-trained team, the 350P or 360P may be enough. Many sites buy a 500P for the most likely deployment location and 350Ps for the rest.

Are the Pad-Paks interchangeable with the 350P/360P?
No. The 500P uses a unique CPR Advisor Pad-Pak with embedded compression sensor. Order replacements specifically for the 500P.
