We applaud anyone who makes effort to create “HeartSafe Environments” by investing in AEDs or Public Defibrillators. There are customers who incorrectly perceive that all AEDs are the same and often make their purchase based upon price alone. In our experience however there are many more customers who consider many factors when it comes to making their workplace and community safe. These prudent buyers and champions of safety realize that AED technology and product features vary greatly and they seek AEDs that are: easy-to-use, straight forward, technologically sound, safe and reliable, well-built and durable and ultimately that meet their needs and standards.

There are some additional sub-categories and other minor considerations but this questionnaire isn’t intended to be a showcase of our industry knowledge but rather a useful tool to our customers. If nothing else this tool we hope will open a buyers eyes to a product feature that they might not have considered important. Each feature of an AED product could translate into a quicker or more effective rescue and ultimately a life being saved.
