Cardiac Science’s new device, now in its fifth generation, is the first AED to combine real-time cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidance, customised patient therapy and fast shock times. It is designed to enable both professional rescuers and first-time users to swiftly provide effective, life-saving therapy to aid a person who has suffered SCA.
