Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency that requires immediate clinical attention to the patient. Defibrillation is a significant medical procedure to resuscitate them within the crucial early few minutes. Timely provision of this life-saving process can prevent them from reaching a critical state and can hence considerably increase their survival rate.
Defibrillator machines are a powerful mechanism for fast and impactful shock delivery to patients suffering sudden cardiac arrest and enhanced prospects of successful resuscitation. New-generation automated external defibrillators (or AED machines) are equipped with advanced operating modes to effectively manage unforeseen rescue incidents and support Basic Life Support (BLS) in public places and Advanced Life Support (ALS) systems in hospitals and clinics.
What Is A Defibrillator Machine?
A defibrillator machine is a portable medical device most commonly used by emergency care providers to manage sudden cardiac arrest situations. It aids first-time rescuers in performing the stressed resuscitation process safely and confidently. It can be proficiently used by persons with both medical and non-medical backgrounds to restore the heart rhythm of the patient.
AED machine can be readily used in non-clinical public places, such as schools, malls, gyms, and airports, thus making them an indispensable, versatile, and user-friendly clinical tool for basic life support. Modern defibrillators monitor and record the patient’s resuscitation status and report data to the critical care units for further clinical interventions, thus reinforcing advanced life support.

- Powered by innovative 360J biphasic technology that provides substantial two-way energy for effective multi-level defibrillation delivery to critical patients.
- Supports 12-lead integrated bedside diagnosis, such as ECG and Point-of-care Ultrasound (POCUS), analyzes the results extremely fast, reports abnormal values, and instigates prompt decision making
- Focused assessment of internal and external factors employing a closed-loop rescue approach for enhanced effectiveness of the resuscitation process
User-Friendly Interface
- In addition to key physical inputs, the semi and fully-automated versions have digital interfaces, such as smart UI design, high-resolution touchscreen, and intelligent sensors that provide intuitive controls, clear and interactive displays, and an immersive user experience.
- Supports voice prompts and clear live instructions to navigate rescuers (trained and untrained) at every step of the resuscitation process, making it super easy and safe for them to operate the machine and consequently enhancing their proficiency.
Smart Layout
- Modern AED defibrillators are durable, light-weight, and compact, and thus easily portable and highly effective in challenging resuscitation circumstances.
- 4-in-1 integrated design that includes pacing, automated external defibrillation, manual defibrillation, and monitoring modes for holistic emergency care
- High-powered and long-lasting batteries, pre-connected’ AED electrodes, and 24/7 standby ensure round-the-clock availability for clinical emergency care.
Automatic Controls
- Performs filtered ECG without compression interference for automated and continuous recognition, recording, and analysis of heart rhythm by both BLS and ALS
- Pre-connected child and adult modes with auto-switch flexibility save delivery time and ensure safe and successful defibrillation for patients of all ages.
- Performs comprehensive real-time evaluation of CPR performance, records and transmits patient’s vital data, and supports automatic impedance compensation for optimal resuscitation outcomes
Intuitive Alerts
- Patient contact indicators provide a graphic status of paddle contact to ensure discharge efficiency.
- Reliable and highly systemized auto-testing features with graphical alarms and problem-solving support ensure precise and enhanced operational performance of the device.
- Hi-tech alert system with flexible Wi-Fi-enabled network connection provides device status information and automated notifications when in use, thus allowing remote management of AED machines.
