Wearable defibrillation system defibrillator

27 devices · GMDN 48052

A wearable defibrillation system defibrillator is a compact, battery-operated device designed to be worn by patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest. It continuously monitors heart rhythms and delivers an electric shock to correct life-threatening arrhythmias like ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia, helping restore a normal heartbeat when needed.

These devices are typically regulated as medical devices, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards depending on the jurisdiction. They are supplied as part of a wearable system, including electrodes and a carrying case, and are intended for use by patients or caregivers in out-of-hospital settings.
