What Is a Defibrillator and How Does It Work?

A defibrillator is a medical device that restores a normal heart rhythm in the event of cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation or tachycardia. The unit delivers an electric shock through electrode pads placed on the chest, helping the heart to resume effective pumping. Prompt use of an AED significantly increases survival rates in emergencies.

Types of External Defibrillators

• Automatic Defibrillators (AED): These fully automated units assess the heart rhythm and deliver the shock without user intervention, guiding the operator step by step.
• Semi-Automatic Defibrillators (SAED): The device analyses the heart and instructs the user when to press the shock button. Some models can also be switched to manual mode for trained professionals.
• All models at Quirumed are biphasic: They provide a two-phase shock (positive and negative flow) for higher efficiency and lower energy use compared to monophasic units.

Defibrillators for Cardiac-Protected Spaces

Public and private locations with high foot traffic should be equipped with AEDs to be considered "cardiac-safe". This includes sports centres, airports, shopping centres, schools, hotels, restaurants, and remote transport environments like planes and ships. Our portable defibrillators are easy to use, store, and transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between AED and SAED?

AEDs deliver the shock automatically; SAEDs require the user to press a button after voice guidance. Both are effective and safe for public use.

Are defibrillators required in public places?

In many regions, legislation encourages or mandates the availability of AEDs in public venues. It’s also a legal requirement to offer training in workplaces that own defibrillators.

How often should defibrillators be maintained?

Regular checks are essential. We offer maintenance plans to keep your device in working condition and compliant with safety regulations.
