The safety that travels with you on vacation too. There is one moment when everything stops: a cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, on a beach, in the mountains, on a boat, and it’s precisely in summer, far from hospitals and quick help, that every minute weighs more heavily.
EMD112 answers this with ViVest Pocket, the smallest defibrillator in its catalog: it weighs just over 600 grams, less than a bottle of water, and measures 8.6 × 15 × 5.3 cm, small enough to fit in a backpack, a car, or a beach bag.
Certified IP65 against dust and water and tested with a 1.5-meter drop test, it’s designed to keep up with outdoor living: hikes, beaches, camper vans, second homes in remote villages. It’s a semi-automatic AED that guides anyone, even without training, through voice instructions, LED indicators, and a metronome for chest compressions. Italy’s Law 116/2021 authorizes anyone to use it in an emergency, protected under Article 54 of the Criminal Code, while the 118 emergency operator provides guidance over the phone. It also includes a pediatric switch, useful for families with children.
The device was born as part of the Home and Family campaign, which brings cardioprotection from public spaces into the home: Italy records around 60,000 cardiac arrests a year, often in a domestic setting. Purchase includes an 8-year warranty, after-sales support, access to the Save the Beat program, fast shipping, and CE certification. It requires minimal maintenance: daily self-tests, electrodes that last 5 years, a battery lasting up to 3 years and 130 shocks, plus 4G connectivity with eSIM for remote monitoring.
The price becomes accessible thanks to installment plans starting at around €30 a month, through Compass, Almapay, or PayPal, turning a major investment into a small monthly expense within reach of any family. Compared to a traditional AED (1.5 kg, IP21, separate electrodes, no connectivity), ViVest Pocket offers less weight, greater protection, and more versatility.
Being prepared isn’t pessimism, but an act of love toward the people you care about, just like keeping a fire extinguisher without expecting a fire. This summer, among backpacks and suitcases, you can add one small object capable of making a big difference.
Because real safety is invisible until you need it, but when you do, it changes everything.
