This compact solution for standardized defibrillation training enables teams to easily integrate their equipment into a realistic and controlled training environment. The ShockLink device connects to adhesive training pads on one end, and to the user’s defibrillator on the other end. ShockLink works by creating a recognizable heart rhythm, then, in turn, safely recognizes the shock delivered by the defibrillator. When a shockable rhythm is displayed, the training participant can deliver a normal shock, as one would give in a real clinical situation. The generated rhythm is affected by the shock and the actual energy is safely absorbed in the cable between the defibrillator and ShockLink device. ShockLink is compatible with virtually any manikin as well as most defibrillators.
