Defibrillator

A defibrillator delivers an electric shock to the heart to restore a normal rhythm in cardiac arrest, and can also deliver synchronised cardioversion. It is used in hospitals, ambulances, clinics and public places such as airports and schools.

Common types

  • Automated external defibrillator (AED): analyses the rhythm and guides lay rescuers by voice.
  • Manual defibrillator monitor: lets clinicians read the ECG and choose energy, with cardioversion.
  • Defibrillator with pacing and monitoring: adds pacing, SpO2, blood pressure or capnography for ambulances and ICU.
  • Training AED: a non-shocking unit for teaching.

Documents to ask for

Buyers typically ask for CE marking under the EU MDR or the destination country's registration, ISO 13485 for the maker, and test reports to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-4 for cardiac defibrillators.

Certificates and registrations belong to the product and its manufacturer. We check them with you against the rules of your market before any order.

Can the AED voice prompts be in Arabic or French?

Many AEDs offer several prompt languages, often set at the factory. State the language in the request so the units arrive configured.
