AED description
The AED is a self-testing, battery-operated automated external
defibrillator (AED). After applying the AED's defibrillation pads to the
patient's bare chest, the AED automatically analyzes the patient's
electrocardiogram (ECG) and advises the operator to press the button
and deliver a shock if needed. The AED guides the operator through
the rescue using a combination of voice prompts, audible alerts, and
visible indicators. For the Powerheart AED G3 Automatic, the AED
automatically delivers a shock if needed.
