Rechargeable professional automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are portable medical devices designed to deliver life-saving electrical shocks to patients experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. They automatically analyze heart rhythms and guide trained operators through defibrillation, helping restore a normal heartbeat in emergencies like ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
These devices are regulated as medical equipment, typically requiring compliance with safety and performance standards before use in clinical settings. They are supplied with rechargeable batteries, electrodes, and software for rhythm detection, often used by paramedics and healthcare professionals in hospitals or pre-hospital care.
