Avive Connect AED

vs.

Defibtech Lifeline VIEW

Avive’s Connect AED is the newest defibrillator to hit the market, released in 2023, and falls on the low to middle end of the cost spectrum. At 2.1lbs, it is the smallest, lightest FDA approved AED with on the fly bilingual capabilities and a child button that eliminates the need for separate pads or a pediatric key. Fully connected to Wifi, Bluetooth, and GPS, it is the first and only AED to offer full, bidirectional integration with 911 call centers. Its software can be updated remotely and it is also the first device to display a female chest in the on-screen graphic instructions.

In 2009, The Defibtech Lifeline View became the first AED to offer color video instruction during a rescue. Unlike the original Lifeline, the design of the View does not include a built-in handle although a case can be ordered separately for easier transport. The Lifeline View comes only in a semi-automatic version and boasts daily self-tests that test for electrode pad expiration.
