Are you looking for an AED or Defibrillators? If so, take a look below for some valuable information that may help you in your search.
An AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is a portable electronic device that can audibly prompt and deliver an electric shock that will disrupt or stop the heart's dysrhythmic electrical activity. The shock will not start a dead heart, but it will stop certain lethal rhythms and give the heart a chance to spontaneously re-establish an effective rhythm on its own. According to the American Heart Association, CPR rescue attempts using electric defibrillation or AED’s improves survival rates by as much as 49%.
AED Similarities
All new AED 's on the market are FDA approved. They all work reliably to perform the job they were designed to do. There is no supporting research claiming one brand will save more lives than the other.
All AEDs use visual and voice prompts to easily guide you through a rescue. They all operate similarly. Once you're trained and certified in the use of an AED, you may use any model, anywhere.
All new AED 's use biphasic waveforms to deliver life-saving therapy. It's an industry standard. All new AED's perform electronic self-tests. They test their own circuitry and batteries regularly. The AED itself will let you know if it's ready-to-use with a visual and/or audible indicator.
All new AED 's come with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty (exept Heartsine Samaritan with a 7 year warranty). You may find some companies selling their AEDs with shorter warranties. This tells you they're used devices or refurbished. Ours are not. All our aeds are shipped for free with the manufacturer's 5 to 7 year warranty.
