AED 20™ Defibrillator from Welch Allyn Company

Let me talk one of Defibrillator from Welch Allyn Company. AED 20™ Defibrillator is one of defibrillator produced by Welch Allyn Global

AED 20™ Defibrillator is ideal for health care or Emergency medical Services (EMS) environments with multiple levels of first responders. It provides clear “1-2-3” guidance in administering a preset life-saving shock, plus the ability to monitor heart rhythms and transfer information for continuous patient data collection.

Important specifications are :

• Text and voice instructions that will guide the user through the rescue
• Color-coded pads and illustrations that make the user ensure proper pad placement
• There is an escalating energy (200 J, 300 J, 360 J); energy protocol can be changed to meet specific needs
• Diagnostic-quality ECG display and lead II monitoring using traditional snap-based electrodes
• The optional passcode that protects manual defibrillation
• Choice of rechargeable battery for frequent users or a long-life nonrechargeable battery for infrequent rescuers
