HeartSine Technologies

HeartSine Technologies is a prominent manufacturer of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) designed for public access and professional use. Founded by Professor John Anderson, a pioneer in portable defibrillation, the company is renowned for its samaritan PAD line of devices, which are characterized by their compact size, ease of use, and high durability. Their proprietary SCOPE (Self-Compensating Output Pulse Envelope) biphasic technology optimizes energy delivery based on patient impedance. Following its acquisition by Physio-Control and subsequently Stryker, HeartSine operates as a key component of Stryker's Emergency Care portfolio. The company's products are distributed globally and are widely used in workplaces, schools, and public spaces to improve survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest.
