What Is an AED Defibrillator?
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable, life-saving medical device designed to treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, claiming over 350,000 lives each year. An AED analyzes the heart rhythm and delivers an electrical shock to restore a normal heartbeat when needed.
At United AED, we carry FDA-cleared AED defibrillators from the most trusted brands in the industry, including Philips, Zoll, Cardiac Science, and Defibtech.
Why You Need an AED
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time regardless of age or fitness level. For every minute that passes without defibrillation, the chance of survival drops by 7-10%. Having an AED on-site can mean the difference between life and death.
- Businesses: Protect your employees and customers. OSHA recommends AEDs in all workplaces.
- Schools: Student athletes are at particular risk. Many states now require AEDs in schools.
- Churches and Places of Worship: With large gatherings of all ages, an AED is essential.
- Gyms and Athletic Facilities: High-intensity exercise can trigger SCA in seemingly healthy individuals.
- Homes: 70% of cardiac arrests happen at home. Having an AED gives your family the best chance of survival.
