Why Your Aircraft Needs an AED
Cardiac events are the leading cause of in-flight medical deaths. At altitude, diversion can take hours. The only option is the equipment in your cabin.

FAA Compliance

The FAA requires AEDs on commercial aircraft. The HeartSine 450P Aviation ships with a TSO-C142a certified aviation Pad-Pak. For private operators, it's the standard of care.

One of the Lightest AEDs for Weight-Critical Aircraft

At 2.4 lbs, the HeartSine 450P is one of the lightest AEDs — critical for aircraft where every pound of payload matters, especially in light aircraft and helicopters.

Built for Cabin Crew

CPR rate feedback guides the pace of compressions in the confined space of an aircraft cabin. Voice prompts and visual indicators guide each step.

Frequently Asked
Is the HeartSine 450P Aviation FAA approved?+
The HeartSine Samaritan 450P Aviation uses a TSO-C142a certified aviation Pad-Pak. Confirm your aircraft's equipment requirements with your operator and the FAA.
Why does weight matter for an aviation AED?+
Every pound of payload matters in aviation — especially in light aircraft, helicopters, and private jets. At 2.4 lbs, the HeartSine 450P is one of the lightest AEDs, minimizing weight impact on fuel burn and payload capacity.
Can cabin crew use this without advanced medical training?+
Yes. Clear voice prompts guide every step, and CPR rate feedback tells the rescuer in real time whether compressions are too fast or too slow. The device only advises a shock when the heart rhythm requires one.
What about turbulence during use?+
The device is designed for use in challenging environments. Voice prompts and visual indicators guide the rescuer through the process. The compact, lightweight design is manageable in the confined space of an aircraft aisle.
What maintenance is required?+
The Pad-Pak cartridge (combined pads and battery) is the only replacement item — typically every 4 years. The device performs automatic self-tests. Include a status check in your pre-flight cabin equipment inspection.
Do we also need the ZOLL Plus Aviation Package?+
The ZOLL AED Plus Aviation Package is an alternative for operators who want ZOLL's Real CPR Help coaching technology with aviation packaging. The HeartSine 450P TSO is lighter (2.4 vs 7.5 lbs) and more affordable.
