Avive Connect AED

vs.

Philips HeartStart OnSite

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.

The Philips HeartStart OnSite became available in 2001, and is the most-sold AED unit in the world. The OnSite features SmartPad technology to guide the user through the pad placement and daily testing of all main components of the AED including pad functionality. The IP rating is on the low side for AEDs and has a narrow standby temperature range.
