Defibrillator
A defibrillator delivers a controlled electrical pulse through compatible electrodes; automated external models include rhythm-analysis and operator-guidance functions within their specified configuration.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Defibrillation is a common treatment for life-threatening cardiac dysrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Defibrillation consists of delivering a therapeutic dose of electrical energy to the heart with a device called a defibrillator. This depolarizes a critical mass of the heart muscle, terminates the dysrhythmia and allows normal sinus rhythm to be reestablished by the body's natural pacemaker, in the sinoatrial node of the heart. Defibrillators can be external, transvenous, or implanted (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator), depending on the type of device used or needed. Some external units, known as automated external defibrillators (AEDs), automate the diagnosis of treatable rhythms, meaning that lay responders or bystanders are able to use them successfully with little or no training at all.
External and implantable devices have different physical and commercial boundaries. Electrode pads, batteries, self-checks and maintenance requirements are model-specific parts of the external device system.
What turns activity into demand
Placement programmes and device replacement establish hardware demand, while readiness and consumable replacement generate a separate recurring stream.
The commercial boundary
Separate the defibrillator unit from replacement pads, batteries and emergency-service provision; one representative AED does not cover every defibrillator architecture.
Why do installed units and pad sales follow different patterns?
A maintained installed base can need pad or battery replacements without a new unit purchase; these are different counted transactions.
