Defibrillator

A defibrillator is a medical device that delivers an electric shock to the heart to restore a normal rhythm in cases of life-threatening arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT). Prompt defibrillation is critical for survival during sudden cardiac arrest.

Key Features :

  • Controlled Shock Delivery: Restores normal heart rhythm during VF or pulseless VT.
  • Multiple Modes: Operates in manual, automatic, or semi-automatic modes.
  • Portability: Lightweight and suitable for ambulances, clinics, or public spaces.
  • User-Friendly AEDs: Visual and audio prompts allow non-medical personnel to operate safely.
  • Safety Features: Built-in checks prevent accidental shocks and ensure correct pad placement.
  • Data Recording: Stores ECG traces and event logs for later review.
  • Battery Powered: Supports emergency readiness with rechargeable or replaceable batteries.
  • Pad/Pad-Free Options: Can use adhesive electrode pads or paddles depending on clinical needs.
  • Variety of Models: Includes manual, portable AEDs, implantable (ICD), and wearable defibrillators (WCD).
