A rechargeable public automated external defibrillator is a portable device used to identify life-threatening heart rhythms in individuals experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It is designed for use by untrained bystanders in public spaces to deliver an electrical shock through the chest wall to restore a normal heartbeat.
These devices feature an integrated rhythm analysis system and adhesive electrodes for patient monitoring and treatment. Because they rely on internal rechargeable power sources, these units must be kept connected to a charging system when not in use to ensure they are ready for emergency deployment.
