Since sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) can strike suddenly and without warning, it’s important to be prepared. The availability of an Automated External Defibrillator can mean the difference between life and death. But with recent AED recalls removing hundreds of thousands of defective products from the market, choosing an AED with rigorous factory testing is more important than ever. How do you choose the right AED device for your organization? Start with a trusted national brand (reputation), with fast shipping times (reliable support and infrastructure) field-tested performance, and features designed to support life-saving rescues in high-stress moments.
