AED
An AED is a medical device equipped with a high-performance automatic electrocardiogram analyzer that analyzes the electrocardiogram and determines whether an arrhythmia requires defibrillation (electric shock).
AEDs are small, lightweight, and easy to carry, and are very easy to operate: when the power button is pressed (or the cover is opened), the device will instruct the rescuer on how to use it with a voice message. In addition, if defibrillation is not required, the device will not send electricity even if the button is pressed, so it is designed to be safe to use.
