Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable, easy-to-use medical device designed to treat sudden cardiac arrest. It automatically analyzes the heart’s rhythm and, if needed, delivers a controlled electric shock to help restore a normal heartbeat. AEDs are designed for use by both medical professionals and trained laypersons in emergency situations.

Key Features:

• Automatic operation: Guides the user with voice and visual prompts for safe and effective shock delivery.

• Rapid response: Quickly analyzes heart rhythm and advises when a shock is necessary.

• Portability: Lightweight and compact, suitable for hospitals, clinics, workplaces, public areas, and emergency response vehicles.

• Safety features: Prevents accidental shocks to the user and ensures the shock is only delivered when needed.

• Battery-powered: Reliable operation even in locations without direct power supply.
