    • Fully Automated AED: Device delivers shock automatically when necessary.
  • Voice and Visual Prompts:
    • Clear audio instructions and screen icons guide the user through each step: attach pads, stand clear, deliver shock, begin CPR.
  • Pre-connected Electrode Pads:
    • Adhesive pads with sensors to detect heart rhythm and deliver shock.
  • Built-in ECG Analyzer:
    • Analyzes heart rhythm and determines if defibrillation is needed.
  • Battery Operated:
    • Long-lasting lithium battery (typically 4–5 years standby life)
  • Data Recording:
