Reviewing Event Data in the HeartHero App After Using the Elliot AED
What Happens After the HeartHero Elliot AED Is Used?
After the HeartHero Elliot AED has been used during a cardiac emergency, important information about the rescue event may be recorded by the device.
When connected to the HeartHero app, authorised users can review rescue information to support medical care, incident reporting, AED management and post-event review.
What Rescue Information Can Be Recorded?
When the Elliot AED is connected to the HeartHero app, information relating to the emergency may be stored and reviewed.
This can include important rescue details such as:
- Timing of the incident
- Duration of CPR
- Heart rhythm analysis
- Shock delivery information
- Treatment timelines
- ECG recordings, where available
This information may help emergency services and healthcare professionals better understand what happened during the cardiac emergency.
How Event Data Can Support Medical Care
Information recorded during an AED rescue may provide valuable insights for paramedics, doctors and healthcare professionals.
By reviewing treatment information, emergency teams may gain a clearer understanding of the casualty’s condition before arrival and what interventions have already taken place.
Benefits for Organisations Managing AEDs
For organisations responsible for workplace or public access defibrillators, reviewing event data can support:
- Incident reporting
- Equipment management
- Post-event documentation
- Maintenance planning
- Training and quality improvement
This can help organisations maintain records and ensure their AED programme remains effective and well managed.
How to Access Event Data in the HeartHero App
To review event information, the HeartHero Elliot AED must first be connected to the HeartHero app using Bluetooth.
Once paired, authorised users can access the recorded rescue information stored on the device.
Depending on device settings and permissions, information may be securely stored within the app or shared with appropriate medical professionals where required.
Data Protection and Privacy Considerations
Any information recorded during a rescue should be handled carefully and in accordance with data protection and privacy requirements.
Rescue event data should only be accessed by authorised individuals and used appropriately to support patient care, training, equipment management or incident review.
Preparing the AED for Future Use
After the Elliot AED has been used in a real emergency, it is important to prepare the device for future use.
This may include:
- Replacing the electrode pads
- Checking battery status
- Cleaning the unit if required
- Confirming the AED has returned to a ready state
Do Not Perform Maintenance During Data Transfer
If the green light is flashing rapidly, this indicates that event data is still being transferred.
Do not carry out maintenance or remove the battery door during this process, as doing so may interrupt the transfer of rescue information.
Once the flashing has stopped, normal device servicing and maintenance can be completed.
Key Point to Remember
Reviewing rescue event data in the HeartHero app can provide valuable insights into what happened during a cardiac emergency and support future learning and equipment management.
However, the most important priority during any cardiac arrest remains taking immediate action: calling for help, starting CPR and using the AED as quickly as possible.
