How hand-cranked defibrillators, designed and made in India, could save more lives
INDIGENOUS, INNOVATIVE & AFFORDABLE — JEEVTRONICS’ DEFIBRILLATORS ARE TRANSFORMING HEALTH SYSTEMS
In this context, Jeevtronics developed the SanMitra 1000 HCT and the SanMitra 1000 HCT EMS Biphasic Defibrillator, a first-of-its-kind, low maintenance, cost-effective, lifesaving, hand-cranked defibrillator. The device can be charged from the AC mains within 6-7 seconds, which is twice as fast as multinational players’ brands and is priced at less than 25% of what they cost.

It has received four patents in India and United States
DBT-BIRAC-funded Jeevtronics Pvt. Ltd. has developed SanMitra 1000 HCT, the hand-cranked dual powered (grid+hand cranked) defibrillator. The devices is affordable, low-weight and considered more reliable than traditional defibrillators by experts as it can be used even in the areas where electricity is unavailable.

For Aniruddha Atre, co-founder of Jeevtronics, which is designing a hand cranked defibrillator, an electronic device which gives an electric shock to the heart, the idea of matching global standards is the goal. “The global standard is one defibrillator for three ICU beds. But, in India, it is 1:50 beds and moreover most of the healthcare devices are not affordable to most people. A hand cranked device like this will increase the geographical reach,” said Atre.
