AEDs

MSSC is an AED authorized reseller!

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a medical device designed to analyze the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock to victims of ventricular fibrillation to restore the heart rhythm to normal. Ventricular fibrillation is the uncoordinated heart rhythm most often responsible for sudden cardiac arrest.

Reasons for AEDs in the workplace

• Workers may suffer sudden cardiac arrest while on the job.
• Onsite AEDs save precious treatment time, and can improve survival odds because they can be used before emergency medical service (EMS) personnel arrive.
• A heart rhythm in ventricular fibrillation may only be restored to normal by an electric shock.
• The AED is compact, lightweight, portable, battery operated, safe, and easy to use.

Placement of AEDs

• AEDs should be conveniently installed to ensure response within 3-5 minutes.
• Areas where many people work closely together, such as assembly lines and office buildings.
• Close to a confined space.
• Areas where electric-powered devices are used.
• Outdoor worksites where lightning may occur.
• Health units where workers may seek treatment for heart attack symptoms.
• Company fitness units and cafeterias.
• Remote sites, such as off-shore drilling rigs, construction projects, marine vessels, power transmission lines, and energy pipe lines.
