Many RVers are over 50 years old and are susceptible to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). As one of the leading causes of death in the United States SCA kills 340,000 people each year. In fact SCA kills more people each year than breast cancer, prostrate cancer, house fires, hand guns, traffic accidents and AIDS combined. Your chance of survival without the rapid application of a defibrillator is less than 5%. 
The Heart Start defibrillator delivers the necessary electric shock to restart the heart. Ron Fonstad was demonstrating this unit at the Quartzsite RV show this week. You may contact him at (951) 265-6272 for more information about this machine. My oldest son is an EMT certified fireman and a strong advocate of these machines. 
They will save lives and are simple to use. Just pull the pads off the machine and a voice from the machine will tell you what to do. Follow the directions and you can save a life even if you don’t know how to put on a bandage. Watch this video to give you a better understanding of how these amazing lifesaving machines work. These small portable units will fit just about anywhere in your RV and sell for $1,559 plus tax and shipping. This machine, made by Philips, is the number one selling portable defibrillator in the world and the only one available without a prescription.Sparking your thinking everyday - Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing

Jim, I know the unit is priceless when needed, but what is the actual cost of the defib?
Jim, are there any peridic maintenance or operational checks required for the unit? What is the shelf life before the unit must be serviced/replaced?
