Cardiac Science Powerheart AED Defibrillator Feature
The Cardiac Science Powerheart AED Defibrillator 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.
The AED electrodes are used for emergency treatment of cardiac arrest patients over 8 years of age or greater than 55 pounds. The user assesses the patient’s condition and confirms that the patient is unconscious, pulseless, and not breathing prior to applying the electrodes to the skin.
