Philips Heartstart Defibrillators
Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are used in the event of sudden cardiac arrest. AEDs deliver a shock to resume the natural beating of the heart. In the event that the heart is beating or beating in a rhythm that is not able to be shocked, the AED is programed not to deliver a shock, which makes it safe for use in the general public.
