HeartStart Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a device that checks a person’s heart and delivers an electric shock if it has stopped beating normally. If a person suddenly collapses, they may be suffering from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA is serious, it means that the person’s heart has stopped pumping blood and they need help fast.

How do I set up a HeartStart AED

Using a HeartStart AED is easy. Simply remove the AED from its red case and pull out the tab to start the automatic battery self-test. Press the flashing orange Shock button when instructed by the AED. When the AED passes the self-test, it turns off and the green Ready light starts blinking. Reinstall the AED in its carry case and it is ready to be used in an emergency.

Had there not been an AED so close to where the patient arrested, and had the ski patrol not used their quick thinking in grabbing it, he would not be with us today.

My piece of advice: when you are out in public, look around and find the nearest AED, so if and when someone gets in trouble, you know where to go to get help.

FRx AEDs are foolproof. All you do is turn it on and it talks you through it from there. You never know when you may need it. Having access to an AED can literally be the difference between life and death of a loved one.
