The Fully Automatic AED Plus is to be used by trained rescuers to provide emergency defibrillation.
It incorporates a sequence of visual and voice prompts to help rescuers follow established AHA/ERC
Guidelines 2010 protocols for use of AEDs. It also incorporates recording/memory capabilities to

and archiving.
